Nokia Philippines yesterday announced that the new Nokia C3 will be officially available nationwide on August 1 but added that they are doing a 1-day sale today (Saturday, July 31).
The Nokia C3 is the Finnish handset manufacturer’s cheapest full QWERTY phone with a suggested retail price of Php7,295.
However, Nokia Philippines is putting out a sale with a Php1,000 discount on the handset when you buy it today (and today only). Nokia Stores should be selling them for Php6,295. The purchase also includes a free 2GB microSD card and a 1-week free Smart internet (also applicable on other newly-bought Nokia handsets).
Was thinking of doing rounds in mall stores just to see if there are huge lines like what happened in Indonesia when it was launched there. Early reports from today indicate that the units have been selling fast though. Read first impressions of the Nokia C3 here.
Anybody out there bought one of these today?

Hi Guys i was wondering if the price of nokia c3 get lower already? i know its a affordable price for some persons want a QWERTY phone. Is the camera High Quality even its only 2MP? Good Sound Quality Using Headset? i want to buy this one before Christmas i know i would have many competitors buying this phone because its cheap =)
my nokia mobile c3 is not working prpperly and i cant delet the photo and other file ….
what it could be the problem and solution could be to over come the erroer.
I got my C3 last Saturday. So far so good although meron din flaws. It usually hangs lalo na pag ginagamit ang video camera. And it doesn’t have a USB cable so I’m gonna buy one. DO you have any idea how much it will cost? And I want to install some animated themes. It somehow looks boring for me. :) Is there any site where I can get those themes for c3?
i hav no usb data cable too so i use my old card reader instead to transfer files to and fro my pc and cell phone…its just irritating to remove the sd card from the cell phone and insert it to the card reader and insert it again to ur computer hahaha…
@Nikka: Thanks for your response. Did you also seek assistance from Nokia Careline regarding setting up the chat feature. I’m a little bit worried since when I clicked on Chat, it only shows ovi chat. I’m not sure if once I successfully log in to ovi chat, that’s the time the other IM services would show up.
@chatty: the free mem card was a freebie given to the first few customers who activated their Nokia Messaging during One Time Big Time promo for Nokia C3 last July 31. Chat & Communities should work on Wifi or Internet Connection. Try calling Nokia Careline at 8861234 so they can assist you with the set up.
@Katried: Try calling Nokia Careline with the set-up of YM and GoogleTalk.
I just bought nokia c3. I’m not sure if it’s just my phone or applicable ba to sa lahat. When I selected chat, ang default nya is ovi and then wala yun others like ym, googletalk, etc. Dapat ba automatic na sila lalabas?
i just bought mine last night…wala ding free memory card ung akin :( daya…ung chat services po ba and communities(sa home)..sa wifi lang po gumagana? or pati sa smart internet browsing? kasi po ung akin hindi nag coconnect eh…may problema daw sa connection..pahelp po..kung papano..thank you!
@Nikka: ohh… I see. Thanks a bunch! :D
@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.
Heyy! I just bought mine yesterday. :))) But the thing is, how do I use the 1 week free Smart Internet?
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.
Hi to all, is it possible to install a pdf reader to a nokia C3? I got a charger and a headset but no MIcro SD card when I bought the unit.
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?
super delayed push email.
no push notification for facebook and twitter
great chat client
