This phone is great. I've had no problems with it at all. If you want a cute, elegant cell phone with a good battery life, good ringtone volume and mp3 ringtones, this is the phone for you.

Don't purchase if you want a sony walkman type phone. This phone is doesn't make for a great mp3 player, get an Ipod or invest in a more professional cellphone.

I'm super happy with it.

Whenever I finish making a call, there is an annoying ringtone jingle as my remaining credit is displayed. I cannot find any way of stopping this. Can anyone help, please? Thanks.

This is the worse phone I've ever had. I had 3 OBF's (out of box failures) I never seem something lik that. Thank goodness they are giving me a NOKIA. DO NOT TAKE THIS PHONE. IT'S ONLY GONNA GIVE YOU HEADACHES......

Anyone knows if it is possible to view photos in fullscreen on C3050 ? (Video shows in full screen!)

Don't forget to save this profile

Like most phones these days the manual pre-supposes a great hi-tech knowledge as it's only 2 sides of an A4 sheet. I'm middle aged and not really au fait with all the capabilities of this low cost feature packed phone.
For the price it's got more capabilities than anything else I found at this budget.
However, (I've only had it a couple of days) the lack of a USB direct connection is a pain so I will have to study up. I still can't figure out how to work the radio without plugging in the headphones. The headphone connection is not the standard 3.5mm jack so I'm expecting to pay a small fortune if I ever lose those supplied.
The ringtone volume is pitiful and of the 20 installed ringtones, 18 are pure sonic diarrhoea. I would be ashamed to be heard being called in public with them.
The camera is more of an extra feature than anything serious.
I'm really more of a talk and text man than phone freak but for the price (£25 after top-ups and subtracting the woth of free time supplied) I really can't beef.
The zeros on the phone numbers (but not the clock) have a diagonal type slash so they look like 8s. Very confusing if your sight isn't great.
As a low-tech guy it's hard for me to really judge all the possibilities but I give it only 1 point for usability as the ringer volume, non-standard headphone jack, vomit inducing tones, "trendy" zeros and manual let it down.

But hell, for the price I can't complain!

hi, to get the sound off, all you have to do is press the volume button as if you are turning down a song and it should say key volume with a bar.

How do I add more than just one detail i.e. home phone plus mobile plus email address etc under one contact?

Also is it possible to permanently take the sound of "keys" i.e. when txting and dialing numbers without putting the phone onto silent/vibration?

Thanks and look forward to your help :-)
