Nokia C3-01 - Silver (Unlocked) Mobile Phone

I AM GLAD TO HAVE MY OLD BUDDY BACK AGAIN!!!

I bought this model to replace the old one which had given up the ghost after many years.

I wanted exactly the same again as I prefer a keyboard as opposed to a screen to text.

I would guess this is as described brand new but I think this is a copy as the model number is not on the back and the keypad has some strange symbols on it.

But aside from that it suits me perfectly as I just want something to primarily text and occasionally phone.Read full review

Not as advertised.

This 'phone was advertised as 'opened but never used'
The 'opened' bit was true.
The 'never used' bit was complete bullshine.
It contained pictures and videos.
The predictive text is too well educated to be new.
The screen has been replaced.
The rear casing does not fit correctly.
The battery charge lasts for only one day with minimal use - this 'phone should hold a charge for a week!
At best this is a refurbished 'phone.
That it works - is its only redeeming feature!Read full review

The phone set is good but I cannot get the email to work ...

The phone set is good but I bought this phone as it had an email app. Unfortunately, after trying everything I can think of, including reading up on Microsoft help sites, (this version of Nokia phone belongs to Microsoft) I still cannot get the email app to work. So beware -- if you want to use this phone for email it may not work as the set is discontinued and no-one seems to have information about how to get it to work.Read full review

Nothing like the original one

I must say I didn't researched much before buy this one. We had a relative from abroad who had his Nokia broken and we were looking for replacement, like-a-like.
The one we got was nothing like the original Nokia. It was all made of cheap plastic, the touch screen is not responsive.
Don't know regarding the battery life because that relative had to buy a new phone once he was back home.
If I get a chance to retrieve it back to UK during the return period, will send it back immediately.Read full review

Nokia C3-01

This is an excellent little phone, pity it's not made anymore. I feel I was lucky to have found one still for sale. I've had a Nokia C3 for about five years now (bought it 2014) and damaged it with seawater. I looked around for a replacement but could not find anything that would compare. The good thing about it is how it combines touch screen technology with the convenience of a push button keypad. I'm pretty sure there is nothing like it on the market today. I do own a smartphone but this C3 is by far my favourite. If you can find one online, snap it up.Read full review

Too dim.

The main problem with it is the light being far too dim. This makes it virtually impossible to use outside. You have to use it in a dark place to achieve any definition textually. I had the same model earlier, this bring a replacement. My former phone was much brighter and easier to read.Read full review

Buy another model

This model is too old. The battery life is appalling, a couple of days (without using it!). Touch screen and other functions don’t really work, or last very long. This is my third model, but I won’t be buying again.Read full review

A good value symbian mobile phone

I like this product because it is small and has the features I need; phone, camera, diary, music player. It is not a modern smart phone with fast internet access and apps but as said it does what i want it to do.Read full review
