The C3 comes in either Grey or White but a Pink variant is also included for increased accessibility. The handset is made-up of smooth lines and streamline design features which in include the tiny 13.6mm waistline.

Nokia have gone for a simpler software package with the Symbian S40 OS; the interface provides a customizable home screen which incorporates various forms of information for the user; live news feeds, e-mail inboxes and social network feeds can be streamed directly to the screen providing instant access to a number of applications via shortcuts.

The C3S affordability will appeal to the cash conscious, younger user, but business folk will also find alot of qualities within the phone too.

Accessing the web is a speedy process thanks to the C3s Wi Fi and 2G technologies, the processor can be a little sluggish but all in all the experience is quite impressive when you take in to consideration the cost of the device. Nokia have supplied C3 users with some online sharing facilities which enable uploads of videos and images to sites like Facebook and YouTube.

There is loads of potential space to store videos and music as the devices memory can be upgraded via microSD card up to 8GB.

Nokia are finally catering for the cash conscious, shallow pocketed, tight fisted users out there. The Nokia C3 delivers smartphone functionality on a budget. With the absence of a touch screen, more effort has gone into the design of the keyboard and sticking to the basic navi-key for interface navigation means there is one less thing to go wrong. The Nokia C3 is a simple phone for a not-to-fussy user.
