User Reviews for Nokia C1-01

I bought this as second phone as my BB got corrupted:nn1. UI response is too slow for a sane person. You have to wait for 'seconds' before it starts showing contacts. Even older generation phones respond faster. If I had used this phone for 5 minutes before ordering it, I would have never ever bought itnn2. SMS editor is absolutely pathetic. I have stopped sending SMS's altogether for the fear of agonizing experience you have to endure to type few numbers in it. I have tried tweaking the settings/options but to no effect. May be there is something that can be done with settings, but if a computer engineer can't find it out easily then what will be the state of general folks!!nn3. Crappy Camera: Too grainy, though I don't use muchnnI want to mention here that I was a big fan of low end Nokia phones for the value of money and usability they used to provide. However, this phone has just completely demolished the special place they used to hold in my heart.nnAnyone looking for a second hand Nokia C1-01 at a very cheap rate? Please give me a call, but do read the disclaimer above!!

I've bought it before 6 months @Rs. 2700 when it's in market for first time & using till now. This device is really satisfying in case of value for money. The gray one is more cool than the white one (i've). The short-cut feature is amazing; u can place 3 different size of transparent menu bar in the front display screan area with many shortcuts. I use to keep the time & date at the top; email, chat, gallary, browser, at the middle; & music player, radio at the bottom shortcut bar! Coz that looks prettier & gives u easy access to browse ur C1.nBut, for amature users it's quite tricky to find out the gallery & games, collection in extra.nThe email, chat features are cool. But, the ovi life tools in the new age Nokia phones are worthless, coz u've to pay more than it helps! nIt would be more cool if it's 3rd party Nokia theme supported; coz the menu bar at the bottom of the screen is too dull!nThis is a ovi suite conn. supported device & not comfortable for the Nokia PC Suite users (untill they install the new Nokia pc conn. cable driver).nThe VGA Camera in it is not for cool photographers!nBut, the data transfer GPRS conn. is faster than the other earlier new age devices from Nokia.nIt would be more effortable if the contacts can be insert in the msg index directly!nBattery life is good.nBut, the headphone with it is harm/painfull to the ear, so i'll like to advice u a new one with ear-buds...n've a intelligent shopping!

I think this is the cheapest mobile with a lot of good features in it. As usual flipkart delivery was fast and great without any damage to mobile. nnSome of the pros of this mobile :nnlight weightngood battery backupngood music through headphonenFM RecordingnnCons:nwhen u navigate through any applications or gallery it will be fast but when u browse the memory card content it will respond slowly . nnoverall my experience is good with this mobile.nnthe best thing in all nokia mobiles is Durability . . . U can trust only in nokia.

Really a heck of a device. If you think its bad, IT IS NOT BAD AT ALL. Its got features you would want in some of its competitors at the same price range but you won't ever get that elsewhere. The first thing mentionable is the Series 40 OS by Nokia which by no means needs any introduction. If you've ever used one of THE NOKIA's then you might understand what I'm talking about. It has a nice looking outer body with soft touch feel on the battery cover but plastic by no doubt, 1.8 inch screen, a 0.3mp camera GPRS, FM Radio with recording expandable memory up to 32GB, 1020mAh battery, a decent sounding loudspeaker, and if you are not one of the loudies out there you still have a 3.5mm jack, I mean what more could you ask for such a low level price range and that too a Nokia, if you think you can get a better device at this price range, GO GET IT. The only set back I think would be the internal memory(10MB) and the RAM(16MB) both being very less and will not allow multitasking at all but if you are buying this phone don't ever think you would get something better because of the price. The only thing I recommend is that you get you phone updated as soon as you get it because(in my humble opinion) the phone is a bit bug prone and deals with occasional lags. After updating the phone, most of its problems have been ironed out. Take the help of the Nokia Suite or get it done via any of the Nokia Care representatives. I am in no means a Nokia fan boy as I might sound but this phone just blows its competition.nnPros:-n1. 1.8 inch screenn2. 0.3mp cameran3. GPRS n4. expandable memory up to 32GBn5. FM Radio with recordingn6. 1020mAh battery n7. loudspeaker and a 3.5mm jackn8. Series 40 OSn9. Nice body and looknnCons:-n1. Very little RAM(16MB)n2. Very Little Internal Memory(10MB)n3. Slightly buggy and laggy out of the box.nnConclusion:- I recommend it for its price range.nHad to give 4/5 just for its out of the box problems.

For casual callers looking for really long battery life and call quality, this is the phone. Never hanged nor disappointed in any sorts.nnIt carries the typical nokia forte such as build quality, features, value-for-money and performance. It runs short on the 1.8 inch LCD display, which is just ok. The speed is acceptable and you wont find any issues. To sum up, this is a perfect phone for basic needs.
