Nokia C3 Now Available – Blackberry Watchout

Finally the wait is over , Nokia C3 , the mid tier QWERTY Series 40 phone from Nokia is launched in Indonesia and UK

Available in a variety of colors , looks and QWERTY is not it’s only strong points , it’s other features include

• 13.6 mm thin body weighing 114g
• 2.4 inch , 262 K  screen screen
• 2G ( no 3G)  , Bluetooth and WLAN
• 2 MP Camera
• 55 MB internal memory and support for 8GB external memory card.
• FM Radio
• BL-5J 1320 mAh Li-Ion battery  8hrs talk time
• Customizable Home Screen with Widgets , themes and shortcuts ,
• equipped with Nokia / OVI Chat with live Facebook and Twitter feeds on the home screen
• Nokia Messaging compatible
• Support for Chat on Windows Messenger™, Yahoo!® Messenger, Google Talk™ and Ovi Chat.

Coming to the fast growth emerging markets like Pakistan this phone is ideal for Generation Text ( Students )and Businessmen alike for whom staying in touch via emails or social networks is important .

Comparing it to the Blackberry crowd , the phone will also have appeal for them too (especially the one using mid tier 8230 Curve available for around 225 Euros)  , with Nokia Messaging push email service which instantly pushes the emails as quick as on Blackberry and with inbuilt support for HTML email which can even play YouTube videos within the emails . Also with access to OVI Store in all territories compared to limited availability of Blackberry App Store , Nokia if position them selves right can snatch the Blackberry market . Beside accessing unlimited data in Pakistan is much cheaper ( Rs 500 + tax ) on a Nokia or anyother phone as compared to Blackberry BIS services ( Rs 1000 + tax )

Not everything is great with Nokia C3 , with S40 multitasking is non existent but our strong assumption is that  live widgets and Nokia Messaging will work in the background .

There is no GPS on C3 but the market which Nokia is targeting does not require GPS for their daily use and can easily use Google Maps with cell tower triangulation for directions and location services .

Available at an estimated price of only Euro 90 ( Pakistani Rupee 10,000approx  )  I sure am looking forward for the launch of this phone .

What do you think will you buy this phone or looking forward to try one do inform us in comments
