Nokia C2-03 review: Twice the phone - read the full textTouchscreen and a hardware numpad in a slider form factor, complete with dual-SIM support - the Nokia C2-03 will be stepping on many toes. It's a phone that knows its place though and has no problem living within its own means...

I am telling about NOKIA C2-03 Plz Guys do not buy this phone at any cost B,coz this don't have phone any good thing .The inbuilt memory of this phone is shown 10 mb in phone specifications bt actually it has only 4.1 mb and 6 mb memory is full of stupid apps like web search , communities and tips & offers etc, which are useless & it will crack in just 5-7 days even i have faced it in my phone. You cannot type a single word from touch on screen you must have to slide this phone again & again to type any word or no. & the keypad quality is not so good.The automatic phone lock is very irritating it takes just 10 seconds to lock the phone. This phone does not have any phone memory format option even you can't format it from any Restore factory settings, data cable ,PC , Nokia ovi suite & Nokia pc suite. When i was buying this phone i thought it will be great fun bt now i think i wasted my money i should have buy any chinese phone instead of this phone. So plz dont do the same mistake what i have done & I have more complaints for this phone i cant write it now

I bought one for my mum since she really needs a new phone, she's the one who chose it, I agree the white/gold combination looks classy. It works well for it purpose, zero problems with it and I'm happy that she's happy with her choice. I wanted her to buy much more expensive phones but she say why do she need to because all she do is texting and calling.

As everyone says, it's a bad idea for the reviewer to speak of certain shortcomings that shouldn't make a difference on a low-end phone. Still, not being able to charge it via USB is a cardinal sin nowadays, since many a low-end phone does that. Let's see how much it costs and then we'll be able to draw conclusions.

I think Nokia should include wifi support on all their entry level models that you can browse the web, the store and send emails with. Many free games require web access as well.
People will simply not use those features if operators charge heavily for data usage.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the C2-03 and the C2-06??? My friend bought a C2-06 and I cant see any difference between the two... Also must mention, in the last 3 days this phone fell 2 times from his hand... So i doubt the make of this phone...

> In reply to kid @ 2011-09-24 06:37 from utxW - click to readSamsung Corby II is far more priced then this phone. And one more thing is to mention is that it has slider keypad as well as dual SIM functionality. Also having the Nokia Maps.

Also this phone do significant multitasking with the apps like Email, chat, and communities. etc.

Don't you compare the phones which are comparable.

At the price less then Samsung Corby II you can get Nokia 5233 which has a lot of features along with a big touch screen. And hence a lot of apps from Nokia Store compared to Samsung Apps which has not so many apps.

The review states that the Nokia C2-03 has "two active phones lines". I would like to confirm whether the second SIM will be able receive a call while the first is already on a call.

What a biased review!!!

For a phone which is barely INR 5000, how could you call these disadvantages keeping the price in mind??

No Wi-Fi
Camera is poor
QCIF video recording would be better off missing
No screen brightness control
No document viewer
No smart dialing
No video-call camera
No accelerometer sensor
No multitasking

WOW! What an awesome phone for the masses. Nokia is hellbent on killing Android and they're succeeding. Android is doomed and soon, Nokia will reign supreme against the entire Android horde.

Great job, Nokia! Keep it up and Android will soon be history.

This is still a nice phone if you want a dual sim + camera + S40 phone.
