Hot pink banter! 03/11/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages see review
Disadvantages see review

I am really not that interested in owning the latest fancy mobile phone. For me a phone just needs to be functional and work well when I need it! However I had owned my Motorola flip phone for several years and it was beginning to really show its age! I have a contract with Vodafone (not something I would recommend!) and was due for an update. I phoned and renegotiated my contract and was offered a choice of several phones one of which was the Nokia C3. I knew I wanted a QWERTY keyboard as I had found using a friends Blackberry keyboard much easier for texting than my phone. A bit of quick ... more

Right For Me 05/02/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages easy to use, good battery life
Disadvantages keys small

I’m no phone expert – I’m somewhere comfortably in the middle in the scale between phone novice and phone pro. Therefore, my needs from a mobile phone are not as basic as some nor as advanced as others. When I purchased my most recent phone a couple of years ago I had fairly simple requirements – ease of use, fairly slimline looking, some internet capability and good for text messaging (this being the feature that I use most often). I purchased the Nokia C3-00 in navy blue – it is also available in slate grey and hot pink – and it currently prices at around £70. THE LOOK The phone is slimline ... more

A great little option if you need to update but are on a budget 12/05/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Versatile, modern but modest in price, difficult to break it
Disadvantages There are definitely more cutting edge models out there

The Nokia C3 is your basic issue smartphone. For those of you that like your phone to be compatible with all of today’s technology without mortgaging your kids to buy an iphone then this might be an option worth looking at. I spent years with a brick in my pocket since all a phone is really meant to do is make calls and send text messages. I did not feel that splashing out was worth the money for what a smartphone offers. As such, I am aiming this review to all readers, including those not confident in choosing a new phone, rather than just the tech-savvy ones amongst you. Especially since ... more

Nokia C3: Same Nokia, done better. 10/09/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Very good build quality, most issues addressed in a software update, excellent battery life, tough
Disadvantages No USB cable included, no 3G, buggy and limited software/app store

= First Impressions = First impressions of this phone when I first took it out of the box and placed it into my hand; it felt very nice in the hand albeit being quite a wide device and it had a lot of weight to it, and not much give around the device. = The Phone Itself = The back of the phone is a very nice aluminium which feels solid, however the phone uses a lot of plastic and the screen area scratches very easily. Speaking of the screen, the 2.8" LCD is quite colourful, however the resolution clocks in at a meagre 320x240 so images do not look as sharp as they could be compared to the ... more

Its a blackberry! oh wait no its not. 16/03/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Looks like the blackberry
Disadvantages Would have been great on the android system.

The shape of this phone is nice and from a distance it looks like the blackberry mobiles that are on the market, it fits into your hand nicely but as the back is very smooth it very easily drops out of your hand from time to time. the size of it is manageable but sometimes a bit top heavy, its not too heavy in general though. Calling with this phone is very clear, with the ability to make the volume go up or down as required, however the speaker where the voice comes from has become loose and rattles within the phone sometimes. the loud speaker on the phone is very good as well. Texting on the ... more

Nokia C3 - A great little smartphone! 30/10/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Cheap, apps, pink
Disadvantages only has gprs

When my old Samsung U600 got on my nerves too much and even broke, I decided to buy a new phone. I wanted one that was pink, and a standard phone rather than a flip phone as my 22 month old daughter loves to play with my mobile and I didn't want her making calls etc. like with my Samsung! I came across the Nokia C3 on eBay, averaging around £60 used. However I ended up buying online fromm Phones 4 U, priced at £74.99 but this included a £10 airtime voucher as I bought it on pay as you go. When it arrived, my biggest gripe was that there was no airtime voucher - instead I got a sim card ... more

Nokia C3 23/08/2011

Advantages Amazing battery life, looks like a Blackberry
Disadvantages Needs more features

I have had my Nokia C3 for around 6 months. People always mistake it for a blackberry so if you're someone who wants a cheap looking version of the Blackberry I would definitely recommend this. The keypad is in the same format as a blackberry and the talk time is amazing! Like all Nokia's the battery lasts for a long time and takes only 2hrs to charge fully! Being the clumsy person I am, I have dropped this phone more times than I remember and it is still in excellent working condition although it doesn't look that as the backing is made of this metal therefore it is easily scratched and ... more

Nokia C3 00 mobile phone 08/05/2011

Advantages QWERTY keyboard , Price, Quality of finish. WiFi + Bluetooth 2.1
Disadvantages No 3G. Can't see screen very good in sun light, very small buttons

This was a little disapointing. Nokia's new C3 00 qwerty keyboard style phone. I had one of these sent to have a play with. Specs looked great. WiFi + Bluetooth + Edge + qwerty keyboard. LOOKS AND FEEL : 9/10 The finish of this product is very good indeed. This one is the slate grey colour, Almost a slight bluish metal look. Metal battery case. It was all going well until I started to use it. PHONE IN USE: 4/10 The screen looked good indoors. But its very poor in sun light. So poor when I revieved a text I had to go indoors just to read it. When writting a reply I found switching from number ... more

Nokia C3-00 4 Star Buy 07/12/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Simple, Easy to Use, Sylish & Cheap
Disadvantages Battery Life, Internet Connection

The product I am reviewing is the Nokia Black C3300 I've had the product for 2 Months now I bought it for £89.99 (not including the £10.00 Top up you have to pay) from Argos in store. Price Currently for Christmas it is actually on sale in store and online for a fantastic deal of £59.99 you're saving yourself 1/3. I felt as though for £89.99 I was getting I a good deal so for £59.99 I think would be well spent for a Christmas present. You also get a free £5.00 Argos voucher with this product when bought in store. This sale period is only Christmas. Carphone Warehouse are selling it for £59.95 ... more

I think I'm in love with a phone (if that's possible) 31/08/2010

User recommends the product

Advantages so intuitive to use, great battery life, excellent value for money, BIG on features
Disadvantages A more comprehensive handbook would be useful. Only available on Vodaphone at the mement.

...how sad, never thought of myself as a geek! As soon as I saw this phone I knew I had to have it so I endeavoured to make it mine. I had to get mine on Vodaphone then get it unlocked for a fee. It looks a bit like a Blackberry and has a quality weighty feel, but it was not the looks that attracted me it was the features and the ease of use that Nokia continues to deliver. A full qwerty keypad and large screen make this phone so enjoyable to use. It has a great range of features including, E mail, social networking, internet browser and WLAN WiFi which is brilliant and easy to use. Radio ... more
