Nokia C3 Introduction

This is my latest phone even though I'm using this for a couple of months already. :)

Nokia C3


Overview:
This phone is specially designed for Messaging(that is Chatting, Email and SMS), Social Networking(it has a built in Facebook and Tweeter client). Its main features is the QWERTY Keypad, WiFi and 2.4 inch LCD. It can even watch internet videos such as Youtube, Facebook vids, etc.


Pros:
Aesthetics = I got the Slate Grey version, looks really awesome! Feels like an executive phone. The front is very glossy, it feels really awesome! You wont believe its a cheap phone.

Build Quality = This phone has awesome built quality, no squeaking or crackling when you press the edges, all the components are fitted perfectly. I also dropped my phone lot of times already but its still working like brandnew.

Internet Videos = ive tried viewing videos posted on facebook, its working like a dream. Plays fast on a wifi(2mbps connection), on Facebook vids, it downloads the video first, but the quality is superb. I also tried youtube vids, using Youtube v1.4.7 application, its awesome! It loads the video quickly(ISP Dependent)

Threaded SMS(Conversation) = I love this one. Its very similiar to iPhone. And very easy to use, with this. Texting is more user friendly and enjoyable. Once you delete a conversation of the paritcular, all the inbox(except those saved on archive) and sent items on that particular contact will be deleted, saves you a lot of time deleting it one by one.

Seperate Photo Viewer = Very sleek
interface. It indexes your pictures automatically, even when they are on seperate folders. Zooming and Panning is quick and smooth. I also love the transition effects when you view the next/prev photo. The Album feature is very usefull for organizing and the timeline feature for viewing photos of the same date.

Battery Life = i got mine factory charged, 3 bars..
been using it with wifi a lot, texting a lot with vibration enabled and tones, sound trip and games. Seems to last 1 day for heavy usage. Other reports it can top up to 2 days on a single charge. Awesome!



QWERTY = it may seem small but it feels great and easy to type, very responsive.

Screen: = yep this is 256K, there are 16m out there which is a lot better. buts that just wrong. lol. at this screen size(2.4 inches), you really cant tell the difference kung 256k or 16m, unless you view a gradient images. But i find the screen vivid and crisp. Very visible even under direct sunlight.

Good Sound Quality = The quality is awesome, on par with Music Edition phones, also it comes with 3.5mm jack, you can plug your favorite headphone right away.



Cons:
Gaming = playing games with this device is an awesome experience, you get to play your games at a wide screen format, better viewing angles, good for adventure, strategy and racing games.

SNS Feature(Communities) = It has a slow and booring interface. Good thing there is Snaptu, a better replacement for communities plus it has more usefull features. And SHMessenger for Chat needs, it also support YM, Facebook chat and others..


It is not hackable yet, tools like PPMEditor Lite, OxyCube of MobiMb is not compatible with this device.

Slow Charging time = its takes upto 5 hours to fully charge this phone. It needs a better charger.
