@slept_late: Try reformatting your memory card. You can either use the C3 File Manager/Memory Card Manager or put the MMC in an adapter /card reader and use Windows file explorer to reformat it.

alam niyo po ba kung bakit may bgsa_upload_ddmmyyyy.log sa memory card ko?

I’m unable to delete it, and whenever I want to access my memory card as mass storage, “memory card in use” daw.

super delayed push email.

no push notification for facebook and twitter

almost great chat client with minimal user mod-function and frequent disconnection issues

Smart Telecom stopped advertising Nokia C3 Nokia Messaging. I don’t exactly know why but I’m thinking its because

a. Push Email doesn’t PUSH not unless you refresh it every so often, which is not push, but a mere manual refresh

b. Smart EDGE on Nokia C3 is uber slow. Coming from a bbcurve 8520 edge user, the difference is huge. Of course I know that BB datacompression is way better but really, nokia messaging is slower than dial ups during my elementary days.

c. Chat client problem which disconnect from time to time moreso when idle

My settings, as I have availed nokia messaging, is on ALWAYS ONLINE hence the push wanting tantrum in me. but at 10 pesos a day, who am i to complain?

@eutikana69:

I have to disagree with you, the interface of the C3 is, in fact, beautiful and simple. You can use it right of the box without reading the manual coz it’s just that easy. A co-worker of mine has an E-72 for over a month & he still can’t get the feel of it. The E-series are feature packed but it is way too complicated (but I love its MS Office and PDF reader for email attachements, hehe…)

sorry its for kesterbt :-)

the interface of nokia c3 is poor,I would suggest that using a e series nokia phone is much handy than nokia c3.

@Jamby:

The USB cable is not included in the package, but I’m lucky that my old Xpress Music has one. So not all stores were giving memory cards? Bummer

@Miguel:

FB, twitter, Y!Mail & ovi chat have their dedicated icons built-in on the homescreen, there is no need to open the Nokia browser or the Opera Mini for these, making it quite simple and functional. I believe the C3 was intended to be a messenging phone and not for surfing(no 3G). But you are asking if it can multitask, right? The answer is NO. But for P6K, it is value for money.

Judging from your profile pic, I’d suggest that you go for the E-Series (3.5G, multitasking S60)

Damn..got mine without the memory card…

I confirm that there is really no cable inside the box..but with free smart sim…

sayang memory card..

Isn’t it S40 and S60 (Series 40 and Series 60) are both Symbian OS’s??

Hi, I bought mine last July 31 at exact 9pm.
and I’m loving my phone right now.
6,295 lang and free 2gb pa. before ako nakabili dami ko napasukan na store na out of stock and sold out na daw, luckily I found the store where I bought my Nokia C3. :))))

it still available? when? what band b yan?

ask ko lang if this unit supports ovi maps??

I went to SM Manila to buy one, but they said that it was already out of stock, and that I’d have to wait for the next batch (but this batch would be sold at a regular price). So, I decided not to buy anymore. aww…

@mhel, I bought it without memory card and without forcing us to pay to get it.

@nexusboy, pwede naman maramihan ang bilhin, dun kami sa memoxpress bumili ako ng 2 units in one transaction :)

i tried to look for a white one in megamall and galleria but they only had the gray ones left by 4pm. They said the first 15 buyers had free 2GB card. if i knew i would’ve gone there much earlier because CDRKing’s micro-SDs aren’t as cheap as they used to be :P

i bought one today at nokia center sm pampanga, but i pay additional Php800 for 2GB memory. anyone also experience this who bought outside metro manila? sir abe, can you please confirm if only metro manila stores offer free memory? thanks!

Nokia C3 didn’t come with a USB Cable.

i have trouble with the Ovi Store, it’s hard to get in. i use the built-in browser instead. dont see much interesting apps, for some reason.

Nokia should have several offers like this in the future! :)

@bokoi

S40 = Nokia OS
S60 = Symbian

I checked it out but held off. It looks really plasticky, more than I expected, and might break with rugged use. Same with the C5.

lined up in a Nokia store at 10am, i was already the 10th person in queue. only one unit is allowable for purchase per person. definitely the best valued wi-fi Nokia phone yet! web browsing is pretty decent, much better than Samsung Corby and any other entry-level wi-fi capable phones.
