The Technical Bench

When Nokia announced the C3 in April and promised to have the phones in the market by the end or third 1/4 of the year, we complained. Now from the media assault launched in Nairobi through Radio, Newspaper and TV adverts, C3 is set to be in a shop near you from Wednesday.

The C3 is designed in a way which reminds one of  Nokia devices such as the Nokia 6700 classic and Nokia 6300 phones. The C3 is a Series 40 Symbian device with Quad band phone calling, and both 3G/HSPA and WiFi internet connectivity. The phone comes with Nokia messaging 3.0.  The device also allows users access to games and other applications through the Ovi Store.

The C3 offers a high-quality build for your money, with a 100% stainless steel case and a 5-megapixel camera with flash on board. It will come in Silver, Warm grey and Khaki Gold colour variations. It measures 111 x 47.5 x 11mm, with the screen measuring 2.4-inches, diagonally. The device supports MicroSD memory cards for storage up to 32GB.
