Nokia C3

NOKIA C3 REVIEW

Upon first receiving the Nokia C3, we were decidedly ambivalent. Here was another middling Nokia smartphone that got the basics done but under-delivered on usability and panache, we thought. This phone has one powerful trick up its sleeve, though: its incredibly low price. Quite simply this is the best value phone we've seen all year. Nokia C3 is a Candybar, Querty Keyboard Phone from Nokia which runs on Nokia OS, Series 40 6th Edition. Nokia C3 available in Slate Grey, Golden White, Hot Pink, Black colors and 114 grams of weight. Nokia C3 has 320 x 240 pixels, 2.4 inches display size which supports TFT, 256K colors. Nokia C3 has GPRS, EDGE, WIFI, Bluetooth connectivity options on board. You can take pictures of your beloved ones from its 2 MP camera. Many phones at this price point (and much higher) have such poor viewing angles that moving the phone or your head even a slight amount from side to side results in a very distracting shimmering effect, as the contrast shifts from overly white to overly dark with only the dead centre delivering a decent picture. With this phone, there are no such issues. Sure, it can't compete with the retina display of the iPhone 4 or the AMOLED displays sported by the Samsung Galaxy S or HTC Desire, but for the price it is exceptional. The overall design reminds very much of the smallest Eseries phones from Nokia, which gives it a classy more expensive look; the metal plate over the battery is a thoughtful touch as well. Nokia has gone so far as to even skin the interface to look like the ones on the Eseries devices, so you can easily fool everyone around that you are typing away on a business-class smartphone.
