This mobile is ok for d money paid.. But d camera quality is not so gud.. Its only average..! Music quality is above average..
Coming to 3G its a waste of money..! It supports only UTMS network..:( no HSDPA/HSUPA/HSPA.. The max speed is upto 384kbps only.., download speed wil become slow aftr 2months usage of tis phone.. So 3G internet packs hv to b used.. & the 3G packs cost more...!:(
if ur main use of the mobile s for txtng, networking, etc thn tis mobil is gud for u... But if ur lookin for a mobil which has vry fast internet & othr gud specs thn tis mobil is a waste for u.. So dont prefer tis mobil... Its a waste..!

            Apparently both cedar , c2 are good phones but it is better to go with c2 because
            -advance gprs class 32
            -latest java version
            -downloads from all third party sites
            -pre loaded ovi apps
            -firmware Update
            -3.2mp camera
            -3.5mm jack
            -cedar has less homescreen widgets compared to c2
            -better display
            -multitasking can run 2 apps at a time
            -rds stereo

                    AnonD-13154, 28 Oct 2011Yes we know. Any comment saying phone is nice, good, aweso... moreif one truly own c2-01, he will say all these(i do own it)
                    - self restarting (not even once)
                    - vga like camera (then you don`t even know how bad a vga camera really is. its not mindblowing but you cant really compare it to vga)
                    - opera showing cleared page due to low memory (maybe, didn`t happened to me yet)
                    - slowest 3g speed (1/4 seconds more its really lifechanging no?)
                    - poor display side view (who the @#$! looks at his pnone at an angle?)
                    - even low quality mp4 cannot be played (its a phone $%#@&ss not a video player)
                    - below average speaker (its a litle bit above average)
                    - faster battery drain in 3g (tell me wich pnone has a longer battery life in 3g? it will always be less)

                              If you would like a self-restarting phone when trying to apply themes, go with c2-01.
