thanks



[E2vids]

@ClickerTV

How about one of the BlacKberry's like the 8520 or the HTC wildfire. These are the cheaper smartphones but really great at the features your looking for.

[ClickerTV]

@E2vids well thanks.....but im not looking for an android....cuz when its connected to the internet its downloading stuff all the time....which is really expensive if u dont have an unlimited package

......is there a similar problem with blackberry???

[E2vids]

@ClickerTV

Not that we're aware of. These days with most of the smartphones they are always doing something in the background. But you do have the option of turning off 3G and Data roaming to save money or going on the internet by mistake.

[tenientesantiago]

I have that cell phone now :D

[Shergill97]

@tenientesantiago i need a goog phone 4 texting do u reccomend it?

[tinaedward102]

@tenientesantiago i want to buy it this phone is good or not!!??

[shewatchme]

can anybody specify the work of its battery, how long will it last ??

[E2vids]

@shewatchme

Talk time is around 6-7 hours :)

[shewatchme]

can it play music on background, can it play music while texting?? sir please reply :)

[theR528]

@shewatchme yes, you can do everything while music's playing. but it doesnt support any java midlets in background mode

[AnisaSaysRAWR]

@shewatchme Yeah, you can play music in the background :)

[gracelulumango]

do the keys light up? please answer :)

[TheUltimatePranker7]

@gracelulumango yes they do

[xXHotLikeMeXx]

what is newer the Nokia C3 or the Nokia E61



[LIANNERW]

I bought this phone 6 months ago. But it doesnt have many options... It's too cheap. I'd recommend a phone that has Android or something.

[TheKagura2]

i would like to see how the messages appear on the front screen

[IPAWNZERI]

Can u use msn on this phone?

[JODALAHIETIE]

love that phone

[gmanpoosquad]

is this phone any good?

[E2vids]

Check the comments below you should find your answer.

[MsWadey12]

@E2vids Is the camera on the phone good? as the phone I have now is 3.2 megapixels and it is fair.

[E2vids]

@MsWadey12

As you say 'fair'. That's what this one is to. Won't blow you away with the quality but for being a cheaper handset it's ok.

[MsWadey12]

@E2vids thank you



[rakizta20008]

how can i play youtube with this?

[forgetgigi]

how about the speaker sound??

[donnysoldier444]

does fb and twitter really come with the phone? because it said it would with my last nokia but it always says i cant go on it because its 'not compatible with the phone'

[E2vids]

@donnysoldier444

You can but they are basic versions of the social apps.

[NAWFSIDESOLDIER]

@donnysoldier444 whaat you mean last nokia

[KeliBaB]

@donnysoldier444 yes it has the "nokia communities" app but it sucks... instead, I installed the opera mini browser (default browser also sucks). I can go on and use FB on the opera mini and it is much better, much easier to use

[E2vids]

@KeliBaB Thanks for the tip for our viewers Keli :D

[KeliBaB]

@E2vids No problem mate!

[E2vids]

Cover is not that solid. lol

[sashenka17]

what about the cover. is it steel as in Nokia E51?!

[ALegendarySanninJiri]

Is X3 or this phone is better?

[TheMeanKittylover2]

@ALegendarySanninJiri well i have the c3 and have seen things all about the x3 and i would definitly reccomned the c3 for about 50 good reason!

go check some reviews for the x3 and youll ee the difference! :)

[hairyexmoor]

[sakurdinal1]

Hey thanks for help really love this Phone but Can u take off the widgets off the Wall paper ?

[LuxieLulu13]

[KeliBaB]

@sakurdinal1 yes, go to the "go to" menu, it is shown in the video at 0:32. Scroll all the way down, and there is the home screen option, click on it and the home screen will disappear, click it again and it will appear again.

[65shutup]

[65shutup]

thankyou can you give me a link to it whenever it is available as i will buy it asap

[65shutup]

no i just checked the c3 on your website is a very bad deal, other shops have it at 60 inc top up on diffrent networks as well as just one.

asda are offering

Nokia c3 slate gray vodafone + 4gb memory card = £50 but with £10 airtime = £60

e2save arnt offering a memory card free and it is even more expensive, can you offer me a better deal?

[E2vids]

@65shutup

That is a great deal. We have a clearance version for £35 but doesn't come with a memory card.

We did have this deal but had to take it off. Might have it back in a week or so if you are still looking then. Good luck!

[65shutup]

im gettin this for £60 with free 4gb mem card on voda from asda anyone know where i can get it cheaper

[E2vids]

@65shutup

We also do it for the same price on T-Mobile. Our sale starts today so keep an eye out we may drop the price on this. Check out the e2save PayG sale if your looking for handsets around the same cost.

[hellofello2]

AWESOME !!! r there diffrent themes on the phone ??

[krazyaboutdogs]

can i go on the internet for free?

[E2vids]

@krazyaboutdogs

If you have Wi-Fi then yes. Otherwise you will need a data bundle.

[hannah2197]

[danieltje95]

[E2vids]

@danieltje95

You would have to pay your carrier fees for the Internet.

[dominiquexxx]

I heard that there's no 3g? is this true? and there's also twitter and facebook built in. how is it connected if there is no 3g?

[jame5847]

[amoreee33]

[lauren95xxx]

Are the ovi apps free to download? Please reply :)

[E2vids]

@lauren95xxx

With this phone it is not a free service.

[goldguy123]

[E2vids]

@goldguy123

Its not a touchscreen. The version up C3-01 is a touch version

[goldguy123]

@E2vids ohh i just saw the touch screen 1 nd it not nice but thx 4 the answer nd is this fone gd cuz am dying 2 get it ? :)

[goldguy123]

@E2vids oh thx 4 the help :) nd i think this is way better than the touch screen

[Mario1Master2]

how much does facebook cost if you wan to spend a bit of time on it?

[E2vids]

@Mario1Master2

Depends what your contract is and data bundle. If you use pay as you go it will cost quite a lot than having a data bundle.

[tiya243244]

how can you lower the brightness of this mobile???? that damn light really starts to bug me :S

[tiya243244]

I wanna lower the brightness....can somebody tell me how to????

[PiNkBuNnY0087]

How fast is this phones internet?

Thanks

[E2vids]

@PiNkBuNnY0087

Its not a super fast smartphone but it does the job ok specially for a low price. maybe one of the viewers who has this phone could give a more specific answer.

[LIANNERW]

First i'd like to say this guy's accent is awesome! haha

I'm getting this phone today in hot pink, I hope I'll get what I expect to get!

In my experience, nokia has done a great job with mobile phones. So I'm really curious about this phone as it's only (about) 100euros.

I'm going to Kylie Minogue's concert in march, (reaaaally excited) and I hope this phone will actually be able to take some nice shots, It has only 2MP... But the phone i use now has 5MP and is crap!

Thanks for the review!

[E2vids]

@LIANNERW

The accent, we do try. We'll have him on camera soon to see the face behind the accent!

[triksilver25]

can you run whats app on that ????

[E2vids]

@triksilver25

Social network apps like Facebook are on the C3

[MysteryMusic1000]

dumb question; can you still use the internet even when not connected to wi-fi?

[E2vids]

@MysteryMusic1000

Yes you can but it will charge you as part of your data.

[07rjw]

I have seen some reviews say it is sluggish at times. But is the general menu system and typing/ texting responsive enough? Would be great to get an answer.

[E2vids]

@07rjw

It is responsive enough, specially for the price range it's in. It does the basics and more well, don't expect smartphone quality at this price range though.

[Epipanie]

is the music player any good?

[yousufaalim786]

Great Body Language DUDE

[jutubaeh]

the more i see of this dumb phone crap with pincer keys the more i bow to palms and even more apple newtons...

if you were roadie and would present your favorite keyboardist with a casio vl youd get fired...

[jmma2008]

can you remove the community screen thing

[mustafahasn]

Hi, Can we run youtube videos on it?

[E2vids]

Try using m.youtube.com on the browser. The mobile version of YouTube.

If in doubt pop over to Nokia Discussions for extra support.

[xxlaurajxx]

is the picture quality good? and is this in black? i thought it only came in blue and pink?

thanks!

[E2vids]

@xxlaurajxx

It may look black the version we have is the blue which is quite dark. it has a 2 Megapixel camera which does a fine job for it's price.

[xxlaurajxx]

@E2vids ohh great, thankyou :)

[bjcrosserke]

I'm thinking to buy this GSM.

Can you remove the community BOX on the main screen ??

:)

[ht76845]

Is this a reliable phone?

[E2vids]

@ht76845

For the cheaper range price bracket it is a safe bet.
