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...

Font size as well as ringer can be changed. The font can be regular or large and the volume is super loud. It has a usb connection on the phone but you have to buy the cord extra. The phone is worth the money

    Hows the phone's font size and ringtone volume? Need to buy for my dad, need big font size then the one we get in the E-series phones? any comment from people using the phone will be helpful. Does it have a USB port, i know no USB cable but atleast port is there or no??

      Since i am using this phone which is a worth value of money. I find it is useful almost in every segment the only problem i faced is that i am installing Gmail application which is not running into it, however it has already push mail feature but it would be more better if it also works directly. Although the phone is good enough to full fill all necessary requirements either used for normal multimedia phone or applications related with internet it works almost in every segment.

              HORRIBLE!!! this takes 4 hours and 30 mins to full battery power tank (1320 mAh) and most rubbish is no micro usb charging. the 2 mp camera is below average and video recording is also very poor. this cheap budget C3 loses many essential compartments which is necessary for QWERTY messaging mobiles phone. I give 4.5 out of 10 points and want to sell it only Rs 3000.

                                NO RECOMENDATIONS FOR THIS PHONE

                                1.Image & Video quality-poor.
                                2.Messaging-only 20 recipents at 1 time.
                                3.No Volume Keys,because of which u can shift directly from high 2 low
                                volume when in standby mode.
                                4.MULTI TASKING NOT POSSIBLE(u cannot open more then 1 application at a time)

                                Only Qwerty keypad and Design of the cell phone is attractive.

                                  Can't believe it wasn't mentioned, but there's one huge flaw with messaging. No drafts option. You can start a message, and close the messenger and open it again and the message will eb there. But you cannot save multiple drafts and open them later.
