Because of that I wanted to buy a phone truly worth the money, and one that would last. For someone who isn't willing to pay for 3G service, but still wants internet, and a modern looking phone, THIS is the perfect cell phone. Phones like this are very hard to come by because most do require data packages (the ones considered smartphones anyway). I can't say how it compares to a smartphone having never owned one, but for someone like me it's perfect. - QWERTY keyboard is well spaced, text messaging capabilities are wonderful - WIFI! Can I stress how important this is? It's probably the best feature of the phone. Wi-Fi is pretty much everywhere nowadays, so why buy a smartphone when you can get a phone with Wi-Fi capabilities for a much lower price, and without having to buy a data plan? I've had it for about 3 weeks now and I have...

The sound clarity is good, as is the camera. Its not a high end camera phone, but its pictures are just as clear as my old 8900. It dosent compare with the high end smart phones like the new Blackberries or HTC androids, but for the $160 range that its in, it certainly gives you that expensive look, and is a great email/messaging device. 46 of 47 people found the following review helpful: A great unlocked phone for a great price, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Nokia C3-00 Unlocked Cell Phone with QWERTY, Dedicated E-mail Key, 2 MP Camera, Media Player, WLAN, and MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Slate) (Wireless Phone Accessory) Firstly, it's a great price for an unlocked phone that can be used with AT&T, TMobile, prepaid, and any other GSM (SIM card) service providers worldwide. I'm not going to repeat the technical specifications. It is very light, portable and has excellent battery life. You can talk for a really long time. Make sure to turn off WIFI when it's not being used. This phone is perfect for everyday use, or as a backup or a second phone. I love the FM radio. It also makes a decent gift. I would recommend it over any carrier branded phone. It is always cheaper in the long run to get an unsubsidized phone. |
