Messaging: The Nokia Conversation is a good way of being able to track all of your conversations to an assigned individual. The system is somehow similar to Iphone's Thread Messaging.And it also has the standard Nokia Messaging too by the way. The thread messaging graphics is not really impressive but Good Job, Nokia! for having this in the C3. It has Flash messaging and Audio Messaging too by the way.
Group Messaging: Good news to those heavy texters out there whose addiction is sending multiple message in one go. The group messaging can support more than 20 users in one go.There you go GM fans out there!
Internal Memory and S40. The C3 only has 55MB internal memory which for me is acceptable. Why? You can actually get an external memory up to 8gig and it works fine. I have downloaded movies and music and it does not hinder with the phone's overall peformance.The C3 is supported by a slightly modified S40 platform. It may not be all new but it works fine with no bugs or restarting issues. And the phone is very responsive. Sad to say, Multi-tasking capability is not on this phone. It is such a disapointment but it is the reality.
Camera: It is equipped with a 2MP camera which for me is decent enough outdoors in broad daylight. I would not encourage you to use it indoors and definitely not during the evening time. What do you expect for a standard phone? This is a mid range phone. So stop whinning about the camera quality.
Music and Sound Quality: Music Gallery is manageable and very easy to use. The sound is average but sometimes it creates a muffling sound on loudspeaker due to the speakers location. But if you used the standard headset,I can strongly say that the sound is decent enough. Again, this is not a music phone so do not expect much. Peace.
This concludes my review and if you have any questions or violent reactions...reply to this message.
I am about to finish the review of the phone and i'll post it in youtube. peace!

Battery and Charging: The battery assigned for this phone is a BL-5J 3.7V which can last on an average of 2 days utilizing wi-fi, social networking, text messaging, music, and etc. The charging time takes such a very long time before its completed. I can say roughly around 2-3 hours which for some can be annoying. C3 owners, I do hear you in terms of the charging time.The AC adapter might be the culprit, it is not a fast charger. You might want to shell out some cash if you want a fast charger, just an honest suggestion if you may.
Nokia Messaging: This rocks, because you can fully integrate IM, Social Networking like Facebook and Twitter even Major Emailing System like GMail, YahooMail and of course OVIMail. It works perfectly fine thru EDGE or WI-Fi access.I need to be honest, I love how easy the way it was designed. And the good thing about it, my mobile carrier provides us FREE Facebook access with no limits. Thank You SunCellular!
Wi-Fi Access: I can simply say one word. REMARKABLE!
Fast connection and stable wi-fi signal brings the C3 to life and makes it more easier now to connect to the world. I love it! The only not-so-good-thing about it, to all youtube lovers out there, video streaming is not supported by the phone. = ( sad.

Detailed Review per Category
Physical: The phone has a very sleek and exceptional rounded design.Not really your typical boxy phone with sharp edges. It has a little similarity with the Blackberry but it simply ends there. The Screen has 2.4 inches display which is very standard to some of Nokia Qwerty phones. It comes with 256K colors which is acceptable enough for me. I happened to own a Slate Grey Version which for me has the best glossy paint jobamongst the pink and white unit. The lid for you to access and connect your USB is stable in just a simple twist and turn, the same thing for the SD slot.
Navi keys and Keypads: I admit that this is my first ever QWERTY phone. And to be honest, I enjoyed texting using the phone with great ease and comfort. The D-Pad is stable but creates a very tolerable but a little annoying sound when you press it. The keypad for text messaging is a heavenly feeling. I now often use my C3 compared to my E52 for texting. It has a designated (SYM) button located on the messaging keypad which can be used to create Smiley's and other characters.Overall, Messaging using the C3 is exceptional.
