Nokia C2-00 review: Dual SIMbiosis

04 August 2011
Dual-SIM is usually the domain of no-name brands, and the few models signed by top makers are well worth a look. Because when you need to make a lot of calls on a shoestring, nothing beats the likes of the Nokia C2-00. The Nokia C2-00 seems...

GSMArena, can you please come up with a review of the Nokia X1-01? I would like to know your opinion and findings about its loudspeaker performance if it really is the loudest Nokia ever made. Thank you.

My Nokia N70 is already a decade old now and it still works. I'm not sure about you, but at such price point this C2-00 is one of the better dual-SIM phones for now.

              I hope to see more reviews like this, cheap phones (low end to mid range) are more important to millions of people around the world, smartphones still too expensive, with poor battery life. Feature phones becoming smarter every day, S40 series from Nokia have apps, touch screen, good web browser, everything i need but in a cheap phone with a good battery life ... that is more exciting than any smartphone :-)

                lol. i never usually troll... but GSMarena sure waste their time reviewing this phone... nokia losing in the high end and low end.. 50 euro for this kind of thing is not worth it.. china phone with 50 euro price tag can dual gsm standby + 1 cdma standby.

                built quality ? well, my china phone last until now from 4 years ago... c'mon nokia buckle up.. that's why you stuck on the 3rd position and keep declining.. back into shape will ya?...

                  Why bother with a review, there are so much phones like that...Nokia has really hit the bottom, deeper and lower with every phone.

                        no flashlight! that's funny. on the serious side, this may be considered a cheap dual sim phone for nokia's standard but is still much expensive compared to chinese brand phone which are selling like hotcake. who would have thought these cheap chinese phone would made a huge dent to established phone makers and force them to come out with their own dual sim phone. anyway, no one thought a few years ago that nokia would fall so hard and so fast after apple came out with their iphone..

                              Just purchased a C2-00. Whenever I make a call normally, the voice can be heard from the earpiece & very clearly from the loudspeaker also - AT THE SAME TIME...When I turn on the speaker phone, then the loud speaker gets activated & is loud, which is normal of any phone. Is this a problem with my handset or is it a feature given by Nokia by which the Earpiece & loudspeaker will function at the same time?

                                  There is a mistake in the 2nd page of the review. It states "The 1.8” TFT screen has QVGA resolution (240 x 320) "
                                  But the resolution is 128*160!
