Nokia C3 (C3-00 / Slate Grey) Hands On Review

[samuWork]

nice review bro , tnx

[mayolapi]

how to uninstall an application?

[Danny10HD]

what is the battery time life ??

[cimorellirox101]

you call your dad daddy and also can you put youtube videos from this phone.

[damonc1]

Does this display emoticons when you get a text with a smiley? Also can you assign individual text tones i.e. one for your girlfriend and a different text tone when your boss texts?

[Fuktupratbag]

I have this phone and I want to know who's the fucking IDIOT who installed a powersaver feature without options. what a fucking MORON ! it goes dark every 9 seconds & it doesn't matter what your doing unless you hit a button to continue. SO ANNOYING! this 1 issue takes away EVERYTHING that's good about this phone. I've called Nokia 3 times so far hoping I'd get a knowledgeable tech. I'm pouring concrete in a small box and then my phone then concrete, wait till it cures and toss it off a Bridge.

[genrev16302]

any body knows how to configure the wifi connection of nokia c3 00? I can connect to WLAN but i cannot connect to the internet...

[genrev16302]

[delayrr]

Very good video review!! I agree with everything you said...I just bought this phone and I love it..and don't need a better one, this is enough to fill your normal requests.

[WhYouReadingThis]

Hey i have question i got my nokia c3-00 and when i went to messaging there wasn't a "chat" application i was trying to wonder why can you help!!!!!!!

[phililippines34]

hey dude is it nice cause i am just gonna buy it on DEC 25TH ?? is it worth it ???

[wantedvictor]

@phililippines34 mas mura na ngayon yan I think.. worth the money.. yung battery life pa lang eh.. main phone or back up phone ok na ok sya. Sa ngayon backup phone ko na lang sya pero ok na ok pa rin.

[kenlah]

hi sir, im from the phil also, ask ko lang if na-experience mo yung restaring issue sa Nokia C3? TIA

[wantedvictor]

@kenlah hmm naexp ko yata after updating sa 7.2 pero thrice lang.. ilang months na rin di ko ginagamit c3 ko.. hehehe

[dannyminster]

[aonnoy5683]

Nokia C3-00 also supports multi-tasking but you need to be an advanced user in in order to enable that feature!! I tried it and trust me, it works!! Now my C3-00 is officially a smartphone!!

[aonnoy5683]

damn u sound funny!! lolz

[FilipKid]

how do you set up music as ringtones?

[ComputerTech999]

@FilipKid go to the song u want, then click options - use tone - set as ringing tone (1st option)

[alchemixx]

talking like a squirell

[DhenTube]

I love this phone, kasi free internet`ako,,,

[m1szs3los4]

[floeticdeath]

cheap phone? its 115 on amazon. that's expensive lol

[juliusrdeguzman]

The conversation msg. is hilarious.

[bussel1992]

Hey, I have a question.. is it possible to use whatsapp on the nokia c3-00?

Thank you!

[wantedvictor]

@bussel1992 nope

[bussel1992]

Thanks! Very good vid!

[wantedvictor]

@bussel1992 ur welcome

[jodiannwilson]

Hey, nice video. I'm in the US and I bought a Nokia C3-00 about 3 days ago. Why is it that the Ovi Store Application is unavailable? And every time I take a photo or play back the videos I recorded, my phone freezes then automatically turns off, why does that happen?

[floeticdeath]

@jodiannwilson did you update the firmware?

[declan288]

Can i still go on facebook when out and about

[superpancakequeen]

@declan288 do u mean when ur not on ur houses wifi?? cause if yes im wondering the same thing..

[wantedvictor]

@declan288 yup for as long as you are connected to 3g, or gprs. Data charges apply based on you carrier's rates

[FinVpo137]

can you watch videos from youtube?

[wantedvictor]

@FinVpo137 yes

[Superheroschool]

I am wondering....If you say that there is three colours? Then the slate grey have what? Blue "keyboard" when there are numbers, but sometimes it seemes like it's grey there? Is there like black in this type of the nokia c3-00, because then it makes sense if the black one has black "numbers"? =D

[Superheroschool]

@Superheroschool Are i mean*

[wantedvictor]

@Superheroschool slate grey has a black keyboard with dark blue accents for the numbers. Nope, only three colors themes for these phones. yeah sometime the keyboard look grayish but looking closely makes it different.

[ReapZzs]

I watched this vid then went out and bought it this was a v good vid keep them up bro

[sugarprincess15]

hey could you help me, i cannot use my communities..? could you help me.... what should i do?

[saintsandwhores]

i just got mine yesterday..nice review man it helps a lot.

[chompet123]

Haha kulet,

"buksan mo gate!" - mommy

Nice review, I'm planning to buy it.

[mixer0625]

worth buying for a grad gift??? haha im from the phil. also

[wantedvictor]

@mixer0625 yup good enough

[ievina4]

Does it cost alot of money to go on internet?

[wantedvictor]

@ievina4 if you are connecting over a free wifi then that's free of course or if you have your own connection at home that's also good but if you use your carrier's data connections then that might be costly depending on your plan or depending on your carrier's pricing.

[sYmbiAnOS]

Hi wantedvictor! I'm having problem with my Opera Mini 5.1 installed in my C3. Everytime i try to connect it always give me this error message "Verification of server certificate failed. Please check the date setting in your device." Do you have any idea on how to deal this kind of error? Please help me. Thanks!

[wantedvictor]

@sYmbiAnOS update the date setting of your phone. time and date.. maybe like 4pm.. March 2, 2011. The certificate was invalid due to the date setting which was not updated. This happened to me everytime I update the firmware coz everything gets reset and one time I installed Opera mini and tried to browse but I cant since I havent updated the dates.

[chompet123]

@sYmbiAnOS You have to update your date and time. :D

[XxxxXRamneBXxxxX]

Sir tanong ko lang. Bakit walang WLAN ung sakin. Salamat

[wantedvictor]

@XxxxXRamneBXxxxX boss, try nyo punta sa menu > settings > connectivity - dapat makikita mo dyan yung WLAN para maview mo yung mga wifi conections sa area mo. Kung wala pa rin pacheck mo na phone mo dunsa pinagbilhan mo. Nung nabili ko kasi yung akin ok naman wala naman issues.

[LuxieLulu13]

Good review... but maybe you should keep your voice a little bit slower, cause sometimes I couldn't understand you, but good review nevertheless :)

[wantedvictor]

@LuxieLulu13 I actually increased the play speed... :=) I've increased the play speed to 1.40x coz I talk slow.

[LeemaOx]

i want to buy this phone but can u tell me if i can go on facebook and twitter wherever i am on this phone?

[wantedvictor]

@LeemaOx yes!

[bluejourny]

@LeemaOx You can if you got wifi connection in my case i've got the connection thru my neighbors wifi! surf all i want!! lol

[rohitsrao]

[MascaraJunkie23]

[Akleloki]

@MAKEMEMAD14 you have your service provider's internet and also you have wifi and you can connect with it anywhere where there is a wifi connection

[MegaPancakeMaker]

@Akleloki Yeah but for some reason mine keeps saying ''Server failed'' And i tried it by different servers.. I ead that there is something wrong with the wifi on the phone..

[Akleloki]

@MegaPancakeMaker well you should check it out with some tech dude or something..... d only probs w/ mine is youtube nd thts coz thy hvnt launched an app for it yet

[bluejourny]

[javiantiagox]

[bluejourny]

[TarrynDanielle]

[85israa]

hi, can u plese helpme. when i try to make my communities work it tells me service not availabl. what do i do?

[wantedvictor]

@85israa hmm I dont exactly know the solution to this because I have never encountered it.. Maybe you cna try searching the solution on google or worst case is that you go back to where you bought the phone and ask them for help. What carrier and from what country are you? Here in the Phils i have never encountered that. Maybe you can also do a firmware upgrade.

[wantedvictor]

@hoolzzie11 on the homescreen yes,

[riooirrio1]

[rodel34]

[xJebbcrynnx]

I heard that nokia C 3 had a problem connection with Wifi,is that true?? how to overcome the problem?? reply me ASAP..please??

[wantedvictor]

@xJebbcrynnx I haven't encountered a problem regarding wifi. Maybe you need to update the firmware of the C3 as well.

[xJebbcrynnx]

@wantedvictor Thnkz.. : )

[elninoelnio]

what the name of the opera application? i don't find it in ovi store.

[wantedvictor]

@elninoelnio Opera Mini.. you can also download the installer from other sources and not just the in Ovi

[bluejourny]

@elninoelnio you can also download Opera mini 5.1 in m.opera.com choose nokia c3 as your phone model :)

[flangeholder]

great video thanks, i was just wondering so because it has a built in wifi connection can you browse for instance facebook for free on the mobile? write back.xx

[wantedvictor]

@flangeholder yup for as long as you are connected to a wifi connection or a gprs one

[S13BR3N]

are apps like twitter for free?? or do u need to buy internet ??

[bluejourny]

@S13BR3N you need wi fi zone :))

[ultimatemilkyman]

quick question on the internet browser are u able to watch youtube vids?

[maryusuy]

@ultimatemilkyman of course

[jbfaith37]

Dude, Question, Does it really need a long time to charge? My C3 needs 4++ hours just to be fully charged. Is the battery Broken or something? I just had it for a week :|

[wantedvictor]

@jbfaith37 yup.. mine charges around 3 hrs plus plus.. almost 4hrs. I think this can be managed by getting a "fast charger" to at least minimize the time. It's just the way it is. >.<

[bluejourny]

@jbfaith37 Mine too, it's took 5 hours to be fully charged :(

[uday09999]

mine dosent let me use the apps i downloaded frm ovi store.it downloads the apps to the games folder and a key appears over them and wen i click them it says application error.any suggestions??it wud be much appreciated

[bluejourny]

@uday09999 There's a key because you are not able to copy or to forward the apps.

[juyelahmed]

was that the loudest it gets?

[wantedvictor]

@juyelahmed nope, I can max it out a little bit more

[kirules]

[thebestcoop14]

[thebestcoop14]

@wantedvictor hehe thanks alot bro! hey what all themes are there? if you don't mind me asking..lol

[Rockylols]

thanks for the influence kuya xD

RECOMMENDED PHONE!

[wantedvictor]

@Pecklat99 np.

[G6Take250]

u talk too fast slow down :D

[spoons933]

I want this phone for my Christmas but I am quite into recording videos, all I am asking is does the camera pause when recording please get back 2 me ASAP thanks.

[wantedvictor]

@spoons933 it can be paused. But I wouldn't recommend the video camera of the C3.

[DynamicDancer12]

thanks for a great vid

first of all, in someone else's review they said that you cant see the C3's screen when you are in the sun. is this true? have you noticed anything like that? im sure it cant be that bad but let me know if it happens.

secondly, is opera mini free on the ovi store? i wouldnt want to use facebook in the communities as you said it was slow :) and i take your word for it

please reply :)

[wantedvictor]

@DynamicDancer12 well, if its directly in front of a light source it can be hard to read since the external screen is very glossy but if you just flip the screen a bit it can already be read.

yup opera mini is free on the ovi store and yes I think using opera mini for FB is much better/ :)

[DynamicDancer12]

@wantedvictor thank you and keep up the good reveiws

[DynamicDancer12]

thanks for a great video :)

first of all, in another video a guy said that with the C3 you cant see the screen when you are in direct sunlight is hitting the screen. im sure it cant be that bad but have you noticed anything like that?

secondly, is opera mini free on the ovi store or just it cost money?

please respond :)

[gastly35]

Dude please help me! when i go to messaging menu i cant find de one that says ''conversations'' did it come already in your cellphone like that? or did you have to configure or something?

[wantedvictor]

@gastly35 it should be right under the inbox...

[jbfaith37]

Where did you buy it?

[wantedvictor]

@jbfaith37 I am based here in the Philippine so I bought in Greentelcom in Robinsons mall. If you're from here, there will be a sale on all nokia stores in the Phils which will bring down the price of C3's to just 4,990php this coming Dec 4 2010.

[wantedvictor]

@jbfaith37 just please check out some local stores on your place selling mobile phone accessories and electronic stuff.

[Lauren2009B]

DOES ANYBODY NO IF U GET A USB CABLE IN IRELAND/ENGLAND

[wantedvictor]

@Lauren2009B no idea about that mate. Maybe you can check some ireland/england based websites selling C3's and just ask them.

[Lauren2009B]

@wantedvictor K THANKS 

[hotchilliepanties]

victor..

can i ask is the phone slow/laggy to you when view photos or else??

cuz im thinking bb curve or nokia c3 :(

[wantedvictor]

@hotchilliepanties there is a small amout of lag sometimes.. but this is traceable from the OS of the phone which is old. If you update the firmware of the C3 when you get it the performance improves. I was supposed to get a bb curve 8520 but I was amazed with the battery life of the C3.

[sharpdrumsticks]

is Skype compatible with it?

[wantedvictor]

@sharpdrumsticks not at the moment. but we dont know if they will release a skype app for it.

[Ascina1163]

Can u use msn on it??? reply plzz

[wantedvictor]

@Ascina1163 yes

[Ascina1163]

Can u use msn on it??? reply

[wantedvictor]

@Ascina1163 yes

[taosadakoparoon]

tanong ko lang po kung san pwede makakuha ng themes? :)

[wantedvictor]

@taosadakoparoon mobile9.com, eseth.net... just search on google.. thats what i did. :)

[hotchilliepanties]

super dupperrr good review :)

i like :D

[bluejourny]

Sir, ask ko lang ulit, garalgal po pag nag rerecord ako ng video, it is normal? Ganon din ba yung sa inyo guys?

[wantedvictor]

@bluejourny yup, sadly the sound recorder during video recording SUCKS.

[uday09999]

can u use youtube on it?

[wantedvictor]

@uday09999 yes.

[losmiLESme]

can you turn off the touchscreen?

[wantedvictor]

@losmiLESme touchscreen? this phone is not a touchscreen phone... or do you mean the baclight of the screen? nope, you cant turn it off.

[wantedvictor]

@wantedvictor *backlight.. but the backlight automatically turns off if you dont press the keypad or you're not running apps in about 6-8 seconds.

[bluejourny]

Tanong lang normal ba sa Nokia C3 na hindi na rerestore lahat ng backup? kasi once tinary ko mag restore factory settings tapos ni restore ko yung backup, unfortunately hindi lahat ng settings ko nabalik may mga ilan na ibinalik ko ng pa manual

[wantedvictor]

@bluejourny unfortunately I havent tried the restore factory settings option. If you really want to restore the settings just check if you have the latest firmware.. if not upgrade it and after upgrading everything will be restored to factory settings and the newly installed firmware will also be up and running.

[bluejourny]

@wantedvictor Does my warranty void if i upgrade my firmware?

[wantedvictor]

@bluejourny definitely no..

[putademuerde2]

can you view the image or videos posted by your friends on facebook? thanks
