Nokia C2-01 review: A little something

 

Some cash in your pocket and a good phone on your mind. Is the Nokia C2-01 it? A still camera, 3G and a memory card slot sound like we're on the right track. In contrast to the C2-00, this one omits the dual SIM handling but there are other goodies to...

Entry level phone with decent features ; Quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity ; Tri-band 3G connectivity ; 2.0" 256K-color QVGA TFT display ; 3.2MP fixed-focus camera ; QVGA@15fps video recording ; Series 40 UI, 6th edition ; Stereo FM radio with RDS ;...

Poor video recording ; No smart dialing ; Miserable display (almost no such thing as a viewing angle for this one) ; Relatively poor audio reproduction quality

It’s hard to criticize a phone like the Nokia C2-01 – it was built to a budget and with beginner users in mind. A good first phone to give to a kid. A phone with mom and dad on speed dial rather than one used for complex and important grown-up tasks...

Interested in buying the Nokia C2 mobile phone? Learn what to expect from this phone in terms of design, user interface, features and performance.

There is nothing fancy with the C2 but with such a cheap price, one should not expect the most advanced features. However the fact that this supports dual SIM cards is enough motivation for Nokia lovers to try this phone.

Nokia C2-01

 

Priced to sell at just â'¬70 before tax and carrier subsidy, the C2-01 easily breaks the magic â'¬100 barrier for 3G phones. But at this sort of price, don't expect anything too fancy.. the specifications of the C2-01 are pretty modest compared to high...
