Loved this phone

Got it in Aug 2011. Lasted me a year and was so dependable. Like a rock. Had a few fun games, internet worked good, quick phone in terms of loading messages, call quality was very good, and like all Nokias, it was durable as steel.

very cheap, has wifi, very good for texting and long battery life.
although camera is just 2mpx it takes decent pictures, stock brower is not so good but with opera mini browing the web could be smooth as the other competitiors... so this device really is a great for daily usage... like call and text...Build quality 10/10Reception 10/10Call quality 10/10Internet 9/10Multimedia 9/10Camera 9/10UI speed 10/10Everyday usage 10/10Text input 10/10Display 10/10Battery 10/10Pros

it is my first qwerty phone...its excellent and very high as compared to blacberry phone which suck....moreover its camera result is also fine...its qwerty keys are also very fit in size to type easily...i like that....looks like an E71 lite very cheap and fantastic in its era.
Best looking out of all of them.
Very teenager friendly BB.
Hope it’s gonna be nice and cheap.
This is one friekishly sleek device Nokia. Top Job.
Would be nice to see it trickle up on the higher end devices (maybe not the coloured ones like the pinkchrome C3 for the more conservative individual :Build quality 10/10Reception 10/10Call quality 10/10Internet 10/10Multimedia 10/10Camera 10/10UI speed 10/10Everyday usage 10/10Text input 10/10Display 10/10Battery 10/10

economic phone
Barna has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review
its a really good low budget mobile with lots of features inbuilt.the phone is real addiction. for starters its should be the first choice. the ui is pretty easy.. it misses flash light and 3g operation. you can do social networking as well as business with this. you could say its a value for money phone. i

Nokia C3, no contacts sync via Wifi
Bernard has owned it for less than month before publishing this review
Its a nice phone, browser, gtalk, updates everything nicely possible over wifi. Feels a bit slow but functional. The kids are happy with the games. Good functionality in the home window (customizeable).
However syncing your contacts is only possible over gprs.Build quality 8/10Reception 8/10Call quality 9/10Internet 8/10Multimedia 8/10Camera 7/10UI speed 7/10Everyday usage 8/10Text input 8/10Display 8/10Battery 8/10Pros

I love the nokia c3.. you can do a bunch of stuff and even watch youtube with no problem over the wifi connection! its a series 40 device but it work like a symbian phone because of its manay great features.. you would no know that its a series 40. i have a netbook at home, but now that I have the new nokia c3, i barely get my hands on my netbook! its that useful and that effective.

Truly great phone. Long battery time & talk time. The QWERTY keys are a little small but they do the job. Finding everything (i.e. settings, etc) took a good while but the phone is for the most part very user friendly. I have the pre-paid version so the wi-fi option was not included on the phone (would have been nice if it did).

GR8 Messaging PHONE
Sid,chaujar has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review
Awesomeness delivered
If u want a qwerty messaging phone which suits ur pocket and works like a charm ...this is the device for u
U can have multiple email accounts and chat accounts vich means I can check my mails with a touch of a button..post whats on my mind on FB almost instantly...
This phone has been designed keeping in mind the youth who are ardent fans of social networking sites
The speaker quality si good as well ...n belive me when the phone rings.....its an attention grabber ..with its pretty clear n loud sound output
Talking of battery backup ... I charge dis baby once in 3 days.. with moderate usage
You can get hundreds of games n themes n can browse ur phones for hours.....
All in all a gr8 device for ppl who need to be connnected with their social network
PS:Camera quality is on the downside...
