AnonD-10730, 26 Jun 2011Heres the true full-review of c2-01 and cedar. Nb: if some one is intending to call this bias... morethis what i hate some people just keep on bashing certain phones.if you own a better phone that doesnt mean all other phone are worthless.but just wanted to tell you that after I checked at the nokia's website it tells that c2-01 can play VGA videos although the frame rate might be greatly rubbish but still a point for you to check out.also I checked CEDAR's screen quality with my colleague. and I found that it has extremely poor viewing angles in comparison to nokia's ClearBlack Technology.it offers great clearity under all conditions.and so I feel is that cedar's screen is over-hyped.although still for the feature it offers SE CEDAR>C2-01

[deleted post]No phone can multitask without a taskmanager key or a menu key as in s60 phones.
symbian 40 cant multitask yet.
And multitask doesnt mean runnin phone functions like music,multimedia msg... Different apps doing different tasks at the same time and can be minimised or maximised as you wish at the touch of a button that too without slowing the phone. Thats multitask.

iPhoner, 24 Jun 2011Just want to check, is this phone good when listening to music? and how abou it's camera? 3.15... morenoise distortion Is like my 3110 1.3mp.
3.2mp camera clarity is not even quarter of ma bro's c5 3.2mp.
Image clarity is judged by quality of sensor and not megapixels.
