Nokia C2-03 Review

Low-budget Nokia phones have always provided users with better longevity and functionality as compared to the other brands. The 3120, 1110 models were an absolute rage when they were launched around a decade back. In recent times as well, when it comes...

The Nokia C2-03 touch and type slider phone is currently priced at Rs. 4,500. The most important aspects for phones in this category are messaging, camera and music. The keypad and camera are sub-par but the phone doesn’t disappoint as far as music is...

Nokia C2-03 review: Twice the phone

Touchscreen and a hardware numpad in a slider form factor, complete with dual-SIM support - the Nokia C2-03 will be stepping on many toes. It's a phone that knows its place though and has no problem living within its own means...

Dual-SIM, dual-standby phone ; Dual-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support ; 2.6" 256K-color resistive TFT QVGA touchscreen ; S40 6th edition ; 2 megapixel fixed-focus camera ; QCIF video recording at 15fps ; Stereo FM radio with RDS, Visual radio ; Bluetooth v2.1...

No Wi-Fi ; Camera is poor ; QCIF video recording would be better off missing ; Doesn’t charge off USB ; No screen brightness control ; No document viewer ; No smart dialing ; No accelerometer sensor ; No multitasking

The C2-03 is a device that's simple to use, easy to afford and comfortable to carry around. You have two active phone lines in the same device so you can leave your other phone at home. Touchscreen and dual SIM support is a rare combination, but Nokia...

Nokia C2-02 review: A simple touch

As Nokia smartphones struggle to hold the line against the storming droids, more and more pressure falls on their feature-phone squad. It will be up to those foot soldiers to buy enough time for the heavily armed Windows Phone 7 reinforcements to...

Dual-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support ; 2.6" 65K-color resistive TFT QVGA touchscreen ; S40 6th edition ; 2 megapixel fixed-focus camera ; QCIF video recording at 15fps ; Stereo FM radio with RDS, Visual radio ; Bluetooth v2.1 (with A2DP) ; Standard microUSB...

No Wi-Fi ; Doesn’t charge off USB ; No screen brightness control ; No document viewer ; No smart dialing ; No video-call camera ; No accelerometer sensor means no cool features like tap-for-time and turn-to mute ; No multitasking

The Nokia C2-02 is the first of a trio of handsets to try and make the most of what's probably Nokia's last remaining stronghold - simple to use phones with good looks and an attractive price tag. The Touch and Type series has been doing well for Nokia...

Nokia C2-03 Review

The Nokia C2-03 is one of those uncommon handsets that can operate with two SIM cards simultaneously. Why would one need such a feature? Well, there are plenty of folks around the world who use multiple phones, be it for having separate personal and...

Nokia C2

Nokia is touting a big improvement in its web browsing and Nokia Maps, but forgets to include 3G in this particular release.

There's a good chance that we might not see the C2 launch in Australia, but it is indicative of good things to come for the budget-priced smartphone category. Nokia knows that a smartphone needs a good web-browsing experience regardless of price,...

Nokia C2-02

The Nokia C2-02 joins the Finns' ever-expanding Touch and Type line-up, touting a 2.6-inch (320 x 320) resistive touchscreen and a slide-out alphanumeric keypad.

Although the resistive screen can feel a little fiddly and cramped, it comes skinned in Nokia's easy-to-use Symbian Series 40 OS, which brings all of your favourite applications to the forefront of the handset. For example, you can bring social...

Review: Nokia C2-03, Touch & Type Dual SIM Phone

With Nokia struggling in the smartphone market and not expected to make any major inroads till they get out their WP7 offerings phone out, it seems they have decided to concentrate on the low cost phone segment for now where they were losing out to...

To begin with the conclusion, the C2-03 is attractively priced at Rs. 4949 and boasts of some good features for the price tag. Though the phone has an attractive design and a solid finish its Dual SIM Easy Swap functionality remains the strongest...
