Nokia C3 Available Now !

G

Hey guys ! Guess what ! The C3 is now available at Nokia priority dealers

I checked it out yesterday and the phone is absolutely gorgeous to look at ! The qwerty keyboard also seems to be very good. Wifi on such a cheap device is also an amazing feature to have

^ at What price is it available at ur Place ?

E

I believe that the phone is going for about 6500... maybe Germz can confirm ?

I think its really good value for money. I really liked the blue color.

G

It is selling for just Rs. 6500 ! The blue color is really very beautiful. the keypad is great for chatting. actually i liked the keypad even more than that of the E72 !

F

Seems like a good backup phone. I imagine it supports chatting ?

Hey guys ! I bought the C3 yesterday evening. Awesome phone ! I paid Rs. 6500 for it.

@followerofkrazzy : Yes it supports chatting. There is an inbuilt chat client.very useful because of the wifi ^.^

I think buying 5233 would be better considering it has Series 60 OS at the same price. Yes, QWERTY is a great advantage for someone who types a lot, but what use it is when you can't even open a word file.

T

Different priorities i'd say. The qwerty keyboard + wifi + facebook , chat integration make it the perfect device for me to remain in touch with my friends !

How good is the browsing experience on this phone ?

E

The default S40 browser is decent but this phone also comes with Opera Mini which is VERY good... you can get desktop level browsing...

this is really too good news, I already have Samsung Star & may be try to get this one too....

@talwar congrats for ur buy, a review is much expected

E

@tobby : You will love this phone. It is really nice... the keyboard is great for messaging. The messaging application has inbuilt smiles too

I bought it a few days ago and my favorite feature has to be the social application which allows me to connect to facebook , twitter directly. Infact, i can even post images to facebook directly !

@Ethereal i read on other forums that c3 crashes while playing mp4 videos.
Nokia Support Discussions - C3 crashes when playing videos - Nokia Support Discussions
any bugs you encountered?

E

Haven't tried that yet but maybe it is because of high bitrate or resolution ? Videos taken on it playback fine. Music playback is also not an issue and it displays proper in-file album art. Speaker is remarkably loud and clear.

At the same time that I am writing this post I am playing a MP4 video that is in 29.4MB memory in my C3, but I don’t find any phone crashing issues… even I can play this video in full screen mode…I think this is the best part of this phone.

@ Talwar
What about Chat setup? I don’t know to setup chat…

Yes you can buy only English Alphabet phone also, but I have both Hindi & English alphabet phone but it’s not look ugly…

@talwar

Did you try installing some free apps to read PDF files? I too am thinking of buying this

also were you able to connect to a wifi network using the C3? Google says that people are unable to use the wifi in it
