Nokia C3 review: SNS love

16 July 2010
Nokia C3 is young and social, simple and reliable. Messaging and social networking are the very heart of this handset. But are they enough of a head-turner to become a phone's key selling points? Sure thing! Just add a pinch of charisma and hang a price tag...

AnonD-10998, 15 Jun 2011i am confused between nokia c3 and samsung chat 335 i ha... morenokia c3 vs samsung chat:

nokia c3 is better as compare to samsung chat,

optical trackpad ruins after few months, but when we talk about nokia's classy chrome navigation keys... they dont last long and black plastic buttons starts emerging out of that chrome if u have nails.
so always use it with care because chrome loss looks too bad,

c3 screen is surfaced with plastic, and it gets scratchy very soon, so buy a screen protector.

        i am confused between nokia c3 and samsung chat 335

        i have read on many sites that the optical pad in samsung chat 335 is very fragile and delicate and it tends to stop working after 2-3 months.
        is it true? because i want a sturdy mobile for chatting and listening to songs (not for social networking or browsing the net at all). so i want a cell which is better for typing and has a better sound quality.

        now i have 4 questions:
        1. does either or them come with metallic finish because i definitely would prefer one with a metallic finish as it looks quite classy.

        2. does either of them have the option to change themes. and i mean not just the 2-3 pre downloaded themes. the themes which i can download from net and easily install (read: without hacking the cell or doing any of the crazy geeky stuff one has 2 do in motorola).

        3. is the optical track pad sturdy enough to last like an year or two at least?

        4. which one should i opt for?????

        plzzzzz answer!!!!!!!

          I regretted buying the Nokia C3 golden white a week ago!The keypad is so hard to read under the light or sun once you started to dial or type,I think the built-in light caused the reflection on the keypad. I reqested 7 others to test it,they found the same difficulties too. The keypad is very clear under the dark.Calling and messaging are key functions of any phone,why Nokia designed the golden white C3 in this way?

                          HG, 05 Jan 2011Hows the phone's font size and ringtone volume? Need to buy... moreNo the font size is not too great, but the large setting for messaging is adequate. You can change the display to black print on a white background which is easier to see.

                                    Open the browser, then select "Options" then "Go to address".

                                    > We guess things have been set up like that because the S40

                                    More importantly, Nokia's browser makes direct SSL/TSL contact
                                    with the target web site for things like Internet banking, etc.,
                                    thus retaining the security features of those protocols, whereas
                                    Opera Mini functions like almost all SSL proxies and exposes the
                                    connection within Opera's servers. Opera is unlikely to make
                                    off with anyone's bank details or report on their favourite porn
                                    downloads, but exposed is exposed and so it is just that much
                                    less secure. After WikiLeaks' (and others') problems in Sweden,
                                    do you trust Opera-tions to hold your data inviolate if someone
                                    claiming to be Important demands to see it? Opera for fun and
                                    speed, the Nokia browser for connections where you want maximum
                                    security.

                                        Trying to love the brand inspite of all the flaws- takes a long time for the battery to get fully charged; still dont kno the need of the Menu- conversation-. multuple menus performing same functions, wat else? maybe its just good enough!
