Design and construction
The Nokia C3 looks similar to E63 at its first look but when you compare this two you can find Nokia C3 is basic S40 phone and E63 is a full featured Smart phone. The design is no doubt a best part of this phone. The slate grey finish is best.

The Nokia C3 comes in three flavors – Slate Grey (which is actually bluish), Golden White, and Hot Pink. The hot pink will be surely made for girls. The front end is all made up of plastic with a perfect gloss with a matt finish.
The Nokia C3 comes with 2.4” landscape screen with 256K color display 320x240 pixel resolutions which is covered by half portion itself. The image quality is fine and even a better sun legibility is available. The earpiece above the screen is available. A spacious navigation pad under the display.

The full QWERTY keyboard promises hassle-free typing.On the left side of the phone you can find Micro USB port and a micro SD card slot; both of them are covered with a plastic lid, the Nokia C3 doesn’t charge using USB which is a minus point of this phone. The Nokia C3 can be expanded up to 8GB.

At the top we find a 2mm charger plug and a 3.5mm standard audio jack and no keys at the bottom.

Nokia C3 uses 1320 mAh Li-Ion BL-5J battery, a good battery with a stand-by time of 800 hours, a 7 hours of talk time,

Nokia C3 uses the basic S40 as operating system. The main problem with this S40 is that we cannot minimize the application and cannot perform multi-tasking. The phonebook is decent and can store upto 2000 contacts. Telephony is fine with both sides a good audible communication. Ovi Chat on the homescreen . The UI is simple but capable. Nokia C3 has various options at your disposal. The Communities app can handle multiple Facebook and Twitter accounts. Browsing SNS messages can be done on the home screen itself. The regular gallery application.

Music player
Nokia C3 supports AAC, AAC+, eAAc+, MP3, WMA, AMR-nB music formats. An Equalizer is available, a stereo widening.But you can only control the volume when the music player is active.

Video player is very limited
The S40 platform was not at all mainly good at playing videos and things haven’t changed all that much. Not that we were expecting DivX support in a phone like the Nokia C3.The Nokia C3 is hardly suited for watching video clips. The video player of Nokia C3 is only friendly with 3GP and MP4 formats. Videos can be played in full screen mode, fast-forwarded or rewound.

Camera is an unimpressive 2MP shooter
The Nokia C3 packs a 2MP fixed focus-camera, which shatter photos at 1600x1200 pixels and rather expectedly, results aren’t above all extraordinary.

Video recording is no good either

The Nokia C3 is rather unimpressive in video capture too – it manages QVGA@20fps, which isn’t any good by anyone’s values. We guess that sort of video is only good for an occasional MMS.
Opera Mini is the browser of choice

An old version of Opera Mini is preinstalled in Nokia C3. You can surely download a new version of Opera Mini. Opera Mini is most faster browser because it compress the image quality hence reduces the processing time.
Organizer and applications

The organizer in Nokia C3 is very detailed, with user friendly interface. Setting up an alarm is simple and Countdown timer and stopwatch are available

The Nokia C3 calculator offers two versions - basic and advanced. In addition a loan calculator is also available. The calculator has a simple and a scientific version, along with a loan calculator

The consistently useful unit converter is first in the list of additional applications. It offers a variety of modes and, if provided with info on current exchange rates, it will do currency conversion too. There's an additional converter that gives you clothing and shoe size equivalents
worldwide.

Final words
In the present world, industrial revolution and globalization has gone to such a level that we can find goods with high applications and huge features with a low price. The best example for this is Nokia C3, none of us would have either thought that Nokia will offer such a phone with such a low price.
Surely Nokia C3 doesn’t have a much features as a smart phone and does not even come with 3G or Wi-Fi features, but with a minimum features Nokia C3 is satisfying. When we come to Nokia C3 design it resembles the E-series but the features comparison is not at all a question because Nokia C3 uses basic S40 and is far away from Smart phone features.
