"Nokia" H97 - a smartphone with a desktop keyboard. Nokia phones with QWERTY keyboard Nokia smartphone with keyboard
Later, a series of different 68 devices appeared, such as a clever folding system, so designers were able to create both a complete and compact keyboard in pleasant dimensions.
It is impossible to score and great, manual implementation of business plans, devices of the 9th series. Having marveled at the wide range of devices that were released in recent years with a QWERTY-keyboard, you will move on to a company that was not afraid to experiment with forms and changes.
If there was a thought that a wide segment of computer users did not need QWERTY: a similar-looking keyboard was a match for expensive devices, often such devices were also cumbersome, which did not bring joy to everyone. All the hours of work, troubles and robots have been created with a device with moderate dimensions and a world-class comfortable keyboard.
Three new phones will soon be available for sale, models C3, C6 and E5. Which materials will we share with you as friends for the sake of getting to know each other?
The device is based on the Series 40 platform; it’s been a long time since there were any Nokia phones (not smartphones) with a QWERTY keyboard – this segment was distributed under “smart” devices, but now the situation has changed radically. The main argument when choosing a phone is the price. It turns out that the phone will sell for 5000 UAH. Considering its characteristics, the model turned out to be even better, allowing you to think about buying such an affordable phone once again, despite the wide possibilities.
Design
The dimensions of the C3 are: 115.5 x 58.1 x 13.6 mm, weight 114 grams. The monoblock is made of plastic, and it’s different: the front part of the phone is made of glossy material (it can get easily soiled), while the back part is made of more practical matte plastic.
The design is not so simple: the front panel has small beveled ends, the edging of the joystick and a pair of additional keys are covered with silver.
On the top of the front panel there is an oval opening for the speaker, below it is a 2.4-inch diagonal screen. The key block and keyboard resemble the “older” devices in their style. On the left side of the phone there is a slot for microSD memory cards, and the other one can be used to connect a microUSB cable. There are no regular keys on the right, unfortunately, but due to the budgetary nature of the device, they added more buttons. To adjust the volume, it is necessary to press the joystick for this purpose.
It’s great that retailers didn’t skimp on the design of the phone: on the sides of the phone there are buttons that can be pressed to remove the back cover, a similar scheme is installed in the E71, and I think they forgave it, as a result of which the back panel sits in its place and not so strong .
Under the cover there is a battery with a capacity of 1320 mAg, which allows you to deny access to the SIM card.
It’s easy to use the phone, which is suitable for reaching such an accessible segment, the metal is from a new Vikonian cover, the middle of it is carefully glued with a pair of foam pads, which helps to eliminate the backlash.
At the bottom of the case there is a mount for the strap, where there is a camera lens and a speaker opening.
At the top end there is a hole for connecting a charging device, as well as a 3.5 mm jack for connecting your favorite headphones.
The phone comes in three colors: Slate Grey, Hot Pink, Golden White. If I want a blue sign in the photo of the performances, it is not turned off that such a modification will be in order.
Screen
The TFT display with a diagonal of 2.4 inches and a separate structure of 320x240 pixels shows 262 thousand colors. Its characteristics are similar to those that are used in E71, E63 and other devices: I’ll take a look at the picture with good looks.
Keyboard
In addition to the navigation key, there are not only primary buttons for call and click, but also function keys, and the phone has also acquired a pair of additional buttons, which have become more similar to its older counterparts in the model range. ів: the left button indicates easy access to contacts, rights to print listings . Skoda, but it is not possible to reassign these buttons to other functions.
The key block is manual, pressing and receiving. The device is without localization under the Cyrillic alphabet, but, judging by the similar layout of foreign E71, it can be noted that in C3 there will be a similar principle.
Menu
The phone is based on the 6th version of the Series 40. The difference is great, so it’s good to read: when buying a phone for a child, you don’t have to be afraid that he will have problems seeing through other characters. When you first start the phone, a special interface setup wizard is launched, which helps you quickly adapt the phone to your needs.
Due to the horizontal orientation of the screen, the interface is modified for manual operation of the phone, there is a simple menu with 12 icons, which can be displayed in a list, the ability to adapt the phone is equally Other devices on this platform, for example.
Media
Of interest to the audience of young prostitutes, the current phone is absolutely without a plug, which allows you to use clear headphones, and also, 3.5 mm aperture C3 right to the place. The flash memory slot is manually located on the side, allowing you to “hot swap” the card without the need to reset the phone. Don't forget radio lovers - the phone supports this popular function.
The camera is simple, 2 megapixels, without autofocus.
Koristuvachev has 55 megabytes of phone memory available, support for memory cards up to 8 GB is announced.
Connection
The phone operates on EGSM 85090018001900 bands. Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR and USB 2.0.
The outstanding feature of this model is the availability of Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g. The possibility of using a home access point or cost-free public hotspots will undoubtedly be relished by homeowners, and perhaps Wi-Fi will become available on devices in this price range.
With a removable battery, the operating hour can be up to 8 years in the expansion mode and up to 500 years in the cleaning mode, and up to 30 years of operation in the heating mode are also stated.
Visnovok
The model turned out to be very acceptable and useful: a rich set of media and entertainment functions (manual keyboard, 3.5 mm jack, easy access to a memory card, Wi-Fi), a smart interface, intelligent and handy, at the same time Use hot water to collect your phone Greatly popular, It’s enough just to marvel at the price tag and the abundance of possibilities I’ll add.
Nokia E5 is worth a higher rank. Since the E63, as luck would have it, began to become an inexpensive alternative to the E71, a replacement has now arrived in a particularly new device.
Design
The ringing of the phone suggests another device – the hero of our recent review. And all the big shiny plate under the screen, which contains a block of keys that can be controlled. Where the stylistic similarity ends, then there are associations with QWERTY twins.
The dimensions of 115 x 58.9 x 12.8 mm practically exactly repeat the dimensions of the E63 (113 x 59 x 13 mm), and the size is identical and equal to 126 grams.
The main material of any smartphone is plastic. The E63 has a soft-touch, let’s say, below this device.
At the top, one after another, there are openings for a 2 mm charger, a 3.5 mm connector, and a slot for a microUSB cable covered with a plug.
On the right side of the phone there is a dial for adjusting the volume.
The design for removing the back cover is similar to the E71: there are keys on both sides of the smartphone, and the back panel is secured by pressing them.
The E5 is metal-free, and the fasteners trim evenly, without any play. It is clear from the photographs that, as in C5, there is a slight and possible appearance of minor stains and abrasions.
On the back side there is a 5-megapixel camera lens, which can be used as a patient.
There are a lot of color options, as many as 5 pieces: Carbon Black, Chalk White, Copper Brown, Silver Gray, Sky Blue.
Screen
There is a display with a diagonal of 2.36 inches, the separate part is the same 240x320 pixels, 256 thousand colors are displayed, there is a light sensor. Subjectively, the screen is not as bright as that of the E71 (which is similar to the one in the E63 and shows up to 16 million colors), but the specific image is the same.
Keyboard
The soft key block, having wasted a couple of buttons, no longer has a quick click on contacts and the calendar (with programs assigned to them, they could be reassigned for other functions), and the mail button is no longer available.
Due to its external appearance, the layout, like that of the C3, is similar to the E71, which does not warrant such a concept. The buttons themselves are similar to those found in the E63, so it’s especially difficult to say about them: for those who love the keyboard, the C6 will not disappoint.
Platform
The smartphone is based on Symbian 9.3 Feature Pack 2, as all devices of a similar level work smoothly, the advantages in the speed of work in the same level with the previous generations (E63\E71) are remarkable, especially in Enable animation effects in themes.
The device has 256 MB of memory available, and comes with a 2 GB card, while the device itself handles cards up to 32 GB.
Connection
Work at 850/900/1800/1900, as well as 3G support, HSDPA up to 10.2 Mbps and HSUPA up to 2 Mbps.
E5 has Bluetooth 2.0 with support for A2DP and AVRCP, and Wi-Fi.
Media
A 3.5 mm jack is no longer uncommon; Nokia includes it in most of its new devices, both here and here. While listening to the player, pass the hour with help and radio.
The camera is 5-megapixel, with reduced autofocus, video is recorded in separate formats 640x480 at a speed of 15 frames per second.
Appearing A-GPS, which was available every day for the E63. Let me tell you again, you won’t be able to pay for navigation with cost-free Nokia cards installed in your device.
Robot hour
Here, a different battery is used, with a smaller capacity (1200 versus 1500 mAh in the E63), and the operating time is significantly longer: up to 18.5 years of training, up to 705 years in the standby mode, 38 years in the player robot mode. To put things into perspective, the numbers for E63 are: 11 years for the sleep mode, 430 years for the refreshment mode, 18 years for the creation of music.
Perhaps, serious work has been done with optimization and energy saving, which made it possible to eliminate such a significant increase in the triviality of life.
Visnovok
There are mixed opinions: on the one hand, the phone is on a new platform, “long-lasting,” and on the other hand, the design of the device is still modest, the E63 is even more attractive, but I would like to check out other colors, maybe they will be nicer. It’s a pity, but we have to notice a change in the number of functional keys, although the working hours will increase. The price for this smartphone has been determined – 9 thousand carbovants. Until the E63 and E71 are on sale, new products will not be easy: the E71 costs a couple of thousand more, but it has a tactile response, and even if it has a 3.5 mm jack, it doesn’t work so long, but the software is older, which is what it’s all about The shortcomings will end: all you have to do is pick up E71 and E5, and select values. And the E63 costs close to 6.5-7 URAKHUVANNYAM. And will be the choice of a pragmatic person who needs a QWERTY smartphone at an affordable price. If the device disappears from sale, and you lose the E72, then you won’t be able to choose and the E5 will take its place as an inexpensive smartphone with a full-fledged keyboard.
Design
A smartphone is a real slider, a kind of analogue of an abo, as it should be. For the price of a loan between these two buildings, for rent in the region of 12,000 UAH. It will be a little more expensive for 5800, since it is already in operation, but it is much cheaper for the N97 mini, because it has a different keyboard, the appearance of a metal back, and a great deal of memory. The positioning is clear: a product for those who need a button QWERTY keyboard, but don’t want to pay extra money for the 97 mini.
Dimensions 113x53x16.8 mm, weight 150 grams. Regardless of those whose phones are made of plastic, they are very important for the “small” 97th – it is 12 grams lighter, and 2.6 mm thinner.
The front panel is almost exactly a copy of the popular 5800; at the top of the panel there is a slot for the speaker, next to it there is a camera for video calls and a light sensor. At the bottom of the pair of buttons for receiving and calling a call, a “Menu” key is placed between them, so that there is an indicator that signals when a step is missed.
On the right side there is a dial for adjusting the volume, under it it is important to block the phone. On this side there is a button to launch the camera. On the opposite side there is a slot for memory cards.
By turning the phone over, you can change the camera lens and the bottom of the speaker.
Vikorist material - rubberized plastic, durable and practical. The front panel is glossy, the markings are clearly visible on it, the mark is correct.
At the bottom there is a mount for a strap, as well as a socket for a charging device. It’s important that the socket lights up when connected to a socket, with a ring around the pin built into the phone so that it glows in the dark.
The lower half of the phone must undergo metal edging - a welcome nuance. The rear part of the upper part of the structure is covered with a metal plate.
The folding would be ideal, as it would not take away the small lateral play that is noticeable in the folded frame of the smartphone. The same N97 mini was assembled simply in one piece, I would like to have a more equal level of production and C6.
The phone opens up vertically (not like the N97, where it’s folded up), followed by the receiving clicks.
A pair of primary colors will be available: black and white.
Screen
Diagonal 3.2 inches, separate size 640 x 360 pixels, displays up to 16 million colors. The resistive display can be compared for the brightness of the picture with the analogue of the N97 mini, in a bright, colorful way. Similar to pressure, there is a vehement reaction: due to the need for personal protection, kinetic scrolling occurs in the player, in the gallery, contacts and other add-ons. Є light sensor, accelerometer.
Keyboard
Several rows of keys are supplemented with a large manual joystick button on the right side. The keys themselves are divided into blocks of 6 and 4 buttons in a row on each side. Attach the photo to show the prepared localized version for Russia. The symbols are clearly visible, the buttons are large and convex, and there is a small gap between them. In my opinion, typing is much easier and more efficient. The key block can be guessed.
Platform
The smartphone runs on the Samsung S60 5th edition, equipped with Symbian OS 9.4.
The volume of free memory is 200 MB, it supports memory cards in microSD format with a capacity of up to 16 GB, the kit will include a 2 GB card.
Works with devices in the EGSM 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100 bands.
Supports HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.0, and Wi-Fi connections.
Media
The camera is five-megapixel, with autofocus and autofocus, maximum video brightness is 640 x 360.
A 3.5 mm mini-jack allows you to connect headphones or radio to your smartphone.
Includes A-GPS, as well as Ovi maps with cost-free advanced navigation.
Robot hour
The battery is charged with a capacity of 1200 mAg, up to 420 hours in the wash mode, up to 400 years in the cleanup mode, 6 years of video creation, 30 years of work in the program mode.
Visnovok
C6 turned out to be a functional, but rather modestly designed device. Perhaps, this was done specifically so as not to create competition for the stylish N97 mini. In other aspects, the phone turned out to be receptive and handy, although its size, or rather your size, can make you money. The phone will be added to this model range, filling the gap between the N97 mini and 5800.
Final for three
We have dubbed three new models that fit into different segments, but they have one unique feature – the presence of a QWERTY keyboard. Nokia is constantly introducing new devices to the market, promoting to consumers of moderate income the opportunity to try out a manual and practical keyboard (of course, this type of device will appeal to those who actively text SMS, in ICQ messengers, participate in social media or leading another active life, connected with regular typing).
Since, unfortunately, QWERTY was still a very narrow segment, devices were limited by their capabilities (often on purpose, to emphasize that they are “not for everyone”), now the situation has become protracted: Nokia is increasingly promoting phones from the outside to buyers. notation keyboard of all types, which have absorbed the reverence of the E-series rice and high multimedia warehouse.

Mobile phones with touchscreen technology are a suitable replacement for push-button models. This is due to the year 2013. Nowadays, it is practically impossible to find a smartphone with a push-button keyboard in the police departments of everyday stores. Regardless of this, some smartphones still have a floating keyboard, and this fact confirms that not every company cares only about touch screens.
LG Enact
LG is primarily focusing on touchscreen smartphones. Regardless, the push-button model can be successfully used. Moreover, the device works successfully on the Android operating system. Perhaps this device itself will please people, but they must actively and successfully understand current trends.
LG Enact pleases with its ease of control, but at the same time it matches its sophisticated brothers in functionality. Among the additional advantages is a very heavy and year-old battery.
There will definitely be some minuses. For example, a smartphone has a small display (the diagonal is no more than 4 inches), but such dimensions are not suitable for purchase.
Technical data:
- 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 400 processor;
- storage capacity – 8 gigabytes;
- Battery capacity – 2460 mAg;
- operating system – Android version 4.1;
- camera - 5 megapixels with LED lights.
In fact, the technical specifications are at an average level and allow for a practical approach to a mobile phone. The price is 350 dollars.
Nokia C6
Nokia C6 has gained a lot of interest. The smartphone is ideal for people with an active lifestyle, who still require a qwerty keyboard. The mobile phone runs on the fifth version of the Symbian S60 operating system, which, fortunately, offers maximum reliability.
The smartphone has several rows of keys that represent almost all the letters of the Cyrillic alphabet. Two writers became the culprits – X, Kommersant. On the right side of the keyboard there is a navigation system that successfully replaces the arrows. Among the buttons is its large size and rounded shape. Better lighting allows you to type text in the dark without any problems.
- bluetooth;
- wi-fi;
- company navigator;
- Possibility of using memory cards;
- radio;
- 5 megapixel camera.
The screen has a separate size of 640 by 360 pixels, which is already enough to watch a video.
Tsikava speciality – at the same time minimal amount of moisture (50 g). Smartphone presentation in black and white color.
BlackBerry Venice
BlackBerry is introducing a unique smartphone with a hanging keyboard called Venice. This model features a curved screen with a diagonal of 5.1 inches. Technical data and functional capabilities please:
- screen – 5.1 inches. The robot's reception is transferred as manually as possible to the smartphone display;
- An 8-core processor that successfully adapts to any given task;
- 16-megapixel camera, which allows you to take clear photos;
- Battery capacity – 3650 mAg for normal use on one charge.
However, from the beginning the smartphone adds its unique design: the front side is truly curved on both sides. You can honestly assume that this form will please you with maximum ergonomics.
BlackBerry Passport
This smartphone is popular among businessmen and workers. It is necessary to note that it has become one of the most popular, shortest and most functional models with a floating keyboard.
The smartphone initially looks expensive and prestigious, which attracts the greatest enemy. Moreover, many people will appreciate the ability to navigate in two ways: the touch screen and the pen keyboard. However, the smartphone is presented without the Cyrillic alphabet, which appears to be an atypical shortcoming. For successful typing, you have to regularly switch from translation to Russian using double buttons, which really simplifies the process of typing any text. If you use the keyboard for navigation, you can use your smartphone with ease, and the buttons are adapted for copying, pasting, and viewing different texts.
Regardless of the high price (about 43,000 rubles), the BlackBerry Passport is ready to please with its versatility. All functions have been brought to practical thoroughness, which, in any case, eliminates the greatest confusion.
Despite the fact that smartphones with push-button keyboards are in the past, similar models can still be found on the market. The most important thing is to carefully read all the propositions and understand which option is best to make the right choice, so that only in this case you can end up completely satisfied with the purchase.
Video: the best smartphone with a hinged keyboard 2017
Nokia C3- The price is a low-budget phone, which is of a lower class, the lower E series. It is easy to confuse with devices, although due to the presence of a full-size keyboard to the QWERTY standard, it is very similar to them, and also has a similar form factor. This is where it ends, the Nokia C3 fragments do not run Symbian or any other operating system.
The Finnish giant has added a number of features to the phone to make it an effective device for exchanging messages. Nokia C3 is also equipped with social media services (Twitter, Facebook), as well as Ovi Chat and the ability to connect to Wi-Fi and a QWERTY keyboard.
Announcements in the spring of 2010 Nokia C3 appeared on the shelves already in stock, and at the moment its price (without contract) is 100 euros. Nokia fans can choose from three different color schemes for the phone - Slate Grey, Golden White and Hot Pink.

Despite the fact that the Nokia C3 is a first-rate phone, it looks even more hostile to the keyboard and form factor that smartphones have. In fact, without being a knower, it can easily be confused with E-series smartphones. The stylish handset measures 115.5 x 58.1 x 13.6 mm and weighs about 114 grams (with battery pack). Smooth and sparkling Nokia C3 is “sensitive” to the point of sore fingers, because the design of the body is made of polished plastic, which easily becomes rough, especially after the phone comes into contact with the ear. Well, the plan to use this phone will not face any common problems.
The front panel of the phone is divided into two areas – a 2.4-inch diagonal display and a full-size QWERTY keyboard. You can also note the standard set of keys – two contextual ones, the Accept/Reject keys and the big D – pad. You can use the Enter key by pressing it in the middle. Two more keys, which replace the “Symbian menu” and “Clear (Delete)”, are formed in the form of metal layers between the contextual keys and the keys that accept the reset function, as can be seen in the photo.
The "Communities" key allows you to quickly communicate with friends. The full-size QWERTY keyboard looks just like the one in the Nokia 71. It has 37 keys, and it smells like a hand-me-down. The process of typing is clear and acceptable.
A separate 2 megapixel camera on the rear panel of the phone does not interfere with autofocus. Next to her, right-handed, there is a small speaker, which serves as a screen. The battery cover is milled from a metal alloy, which gives the phone a great level of solidity. The back cover comes off when pressed against both sides of the phone. On the left side of the phone there is a microSD memory card slot and a microUSB port. The slots are closed in the classic way - with small plastic strings. In this case, it is difficult to open them, but it is quite easy to grind them.
There is no key on the right side of the phone, which means that you will need to use the D-pad to adjust the volume while playing or listening to music through the player. There is nothing on the bottom end, and the headphone jack (standard 3.5 mm) and charging port are located on the top end of the device.
Overall, this phone looks like a well-designed phone, it is compact, stylish and even elegant. If you need it, but for a number of reasons you can’t afford it, then the Nokia C3 will definitely be the best choice, since you don’t need a smartphone itself.
Display and camera
The C3 has a small 2.4-inch RCD display with 262 million colors and 320 x 240 pixels. The size of the screen, as well as the brightness of the image, are similar to those of the E series devices. The colors and contrast of the image are simply excellent, and the brightness of the image is excellent, so we can select a screen that can satisfy everyone and the benefits of the koristuvach.
The 2 megapixel camera lacks a few basic functions and settings, autofocus and no support. Perhaps the camera is one of the weak points of the device, but in other words, this model is not positioned as a camera phone.
The camera interface doesn’t have anything new, and the sensors will be forgiven. The forward view of the image is displayed in full screen mode. You can change the white balance (automatic, sunny weather, frying lamp, fluorescent lamp) and color tone (primary, sepia, black and white, negative). Changes cannot be reflected in the photo in a positive way, since the brightness of the camera module is too low. As can be seen from the photo below, there is significant noise, and the detail of the photo is insignificant.
The Nokia C3 is unfairly equipped with such a weak camera, but if you don’t have many special features on this part of the phone, then you won’t have any more problems. The maximum resolution that can be used for filming is 1600x1200 pixels, and the maximum resolution for watching movies is 320x240 pixels (at speed 20 frames per second).
Menu and software
The Nokia C3 runs on the same S40 6th Edition interface as the latest Nokia customer interface. Being the most friendly player on the market, the S40 is stable and will provide a guarantee of resistance. Tim no less, there are some new “tricks” and changes that will give the appearance of a different level. Thus, the icons in the menu have been changed, and the trivial animation has been removed.
The firmware includes the Flash Lite 3 player and MMS 1.3. The notification support has been colored, so attachments up to 600 KB in size are allowed. Improved support for WMA and WMV codecs. The phone has a number of useful programs, such as search, an alarm clock, a calendar, a list of inquiries, notes, a calculator, a call timer, a light date and a stopwatch.
The menu is completely customizable and you can select any file in MP3, MIDI or AAC formats as a call-in call. Up to 2000 contacts can be saved in the contact list, each contact can contain up to 5 different phone numbers. Fonts can also be customized, as well as those that appear during the opening of Contacts, Web Browser and Messages.
A new category of the important menu was also marked - Communities. Members can log in and customize their accounts on Twitter and Facebook and chat in these services instantly. The file manager, which has been expanded to the Photo section, is then transferred to the Application/Gallery section. The standard Nokia browser is being replaced by another one - MiniOpera for easy access to web pages.
Also installed are games written in Java - Blockd, Bounce Tales, and Sudoku. The phone is equipped with Java MIDP 2.1 programs, and the size of the programs that are installed is limited to 1 MB. And look out for most of the crazy Java programs.
Possibilities of communication
Nokia C3 is completely compatible with the GPRS and EDGE Class 32 standards, but is not compatible with the 3G standard. Tests show the good performance of the phone in terms of data transfer (EDGE 179 kbps on downloaded and 72 kbps on downloaded ones), but this may be highly dependent on the deployment of the phone and the operator.
The phone is equipped with Bluetooth 2.1 and microUSB 2.0. Synchronization with a computer is possible via a microUSB port, but recharging via another is not possible.
The device has the Opera Mini browser, which replaces the WebKit-based HTML browser. The former browser has obliterated the pages less precisely, the lower one, and the pages have been enlarged. You can also say that scrolling has become more efficient, and the support of Flash 3.0 is back in order. The old HTML browser based on WebKit is not known anywhere, but it is not used to access the Internet.
As a matter of fact, the phone accepts standard text notifications, MMS 1.3 (with attachments of 600 KB), as well as electronic mail. The client uses the POP3, SMTP and IMAP4 protocols, and also supports more than one email account.
The Community category allows members to log in to their Facebook and Twitter accounts and chat with their family or friends. Ovi Chat is also a service for Swedish notifications, but it’s not much better than the average customer service.
One of the amazing capabilities of the phone is that it can communicate with a local network using the IEEE 802.11 b/g WLAN protocol, which allows you to protect against data transfer.
The device supports 4 communication standards (GSM 850/GSM 900/GSM 1800/GSM 1900), but has average strength for the received GSM signal. However, the sound is clear and boomy on both ends, despite the fact that Voice Clarity technology is present here. Unfortunately, there are no more calls, which can lead to a large number of missed calls if the phone is in the Silent profile.
Processor and memory
The phone is equipped with an ARM11 family processor that operates at a frequency of 369 MHz. Due to the multi-tasking options on this day, you will not be able to switch your browser to background mode while you are reading an email. This may sound negative, but you won’t have problems associated with having a lot of programs running at once.
The phone's memory consists of 64 MB of SDRAM, of which more than 55 are allocated for free use by Vlasnik. The memory can be expanded up to 8 GB, which also includes a slot for a microSD memory card. The package includes a card with a capacity of 2 GB.
Multimedia capabilities
When launched, the player seems to work well but lacks a lot of features. Despite the fact that it is not positioned as a “music phone”, the phone uses a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack included with earphones (WH-102). The music player is amazing with a variety of formats - AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, MP3, WMA and AMR-NB. The interface has not changed, but, as before, remains good for a phone of the same price level.
The player has functions such as equalizer, stereo widening, repeat and single-drop song selection. The equalizer can be adjusted, or frozen, and set modes - normal, pop, rock, classical and jazz. The richness of the sound was pleasant, although we are talking about a device that falls into the basic price segment and is not positioned as “musical”.
The lack of hardware keys for the music player can be compensated for by Bluetooth headphones, since the phone supports the A2DP standard. The small speaker on the rear panel sounds moderately intense, but the sound will be muffled if you place the phone on the table. A radio with RDS function, so you can replace the player, and you can memorize up to 20 radio stations.
Unfortunately, the video player is not very good, because the display is still small, and it recognizes a small number of video codecs (3GP and MP4 formats).
Battery
The rechargeable lithium-ion battery BL-5J with a capacity of 1320 mAh has an official operating hour in the cleaning mode of 800 years and about 7 years in the roaming mode. These values are close to such phones of the E series, so we can talk about a high level of autonomy. After extensive testing, this autonomy was impressive, and the recharging requirement was less than two days a week. A less active user may need to charge the device once a week, which is more unsuitable for such a device.
Vrazhennya
Nokia C3 is simply the “holy grail” for fan chats or a paradise for leaf lovers. Although I want the Nokia E series, my thoughts are not ahead of me if I say that the C3 is one of the best low-budget phones on the market. Of course, the tastes may be sour if you need an inexpensive phone with a QWERTY keyboard and Wi-Fi - which is exactly what you want.
What's good
The Nokia C3 is the basis of the E series smartphones, although functionally it is completely different. Given that it has a full-size QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi and a removable battery, we can say that the Nokia C3 has the main options of the powerful E series. And other “accessories” that can be found in this om apparatus: social networking services (Twitter, Facebook ), high-quality music sound, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP support, microSD expansion memory card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo FM radio with RDS support and a 2.4-inch display. And if you believe that everything can be purchased for less than 100 euros, then this phone is a miracle purchase.
What a shame
We can say that a possible reason for deciding to buy this phone could be the low brightness of the camera module and the lack of ability to view documents. To other insignificant shortcomings, one can note the abundance of tasks, which is quite difficult, as it is necessary to select a number of Swedish services, and the absence of a reasonable connection function. In addition, there is no possibility of charging via a microUSB cable.
