The C3 is a sharp looking handset
with a comfortable feel and a 2.4-
inch TFT LCD. While the keypad
might be an issue for people with larger
fi ngers, it’ll take just a few minutes to get
used to. What makes it really annoying is
the inclusion of two scripts on each key
and no distinguishing color for the number
pad. It’s horribly cluttered, epsecially
if you’re not used to QWERTY. The C3
runs on Symbian S40, and navigating
menus is a breeze. There’s a bit of lag
while activating some apps though.
Music playback is quite good, especially
with a good set of earphones, but FM
radio reception wasn’t too good while
commuting. Video capabilities are limited
to 3GP and MPEG4 fi les at 320x240
resolution. EDGE/GPRS and Wi-Fi are
the primary modes of connectivity. Nokia
has also included their Communities
Social Networking app for Facebook and
Twitter. Setting up your POP/IMAP email
account is also simple thanks to Nokia’s
new email app. The C3 is equipped with a
2 megapixel camera and limited settings,
but image quality is not bad at all. The
C3’s battery performed really well, with
an average talk time of over 5 hours.
With a best price of about Rs 5,500, it
makes for a great buy. Even if the keypad
is totally warped, the overall functionality
makes it worth consideration.www.nokia.co.in
