      There is no clear black technology in c2.
      Clear black is only in led screens and not lcd. So far nokias mighty handsets like c6-01 and e7 only got the technology.


      C2's display is poor. And even gsmarena says c2-01 's 2.0' display is the worst. Checkout the gsmarena review page.

      C2 cant play any video larger than qvga. Such videos are played as audio in my x2 too.

        If you take cedar, you will feel cheated as feels the mindless guy wreck. He has to forcefully garner support for his cell, no likes on his own.

        Its up to you know, whether you have white money or black.

Nb: if some... morethis what i hate some people just keep on bashing certain phones.if you own a better phone that doesnt mean all other phone are worthless.but just wanted to tell you that after I checked at the nokia's website it tells that c2-01 can play VGA videos although the frame rate might be greatly rubbish but still a point for you to check out.also I checked CEDAR's screen quality with my colleague. and I found that it has extremely poor viewing angles in comparison to nokia's ClearBlack Technology.it offers great clearity under all conditions.and so I feel is that cedar's screen is over-hyped.although still for the feature it offers SE CEDAR>C2-01
