![]() ![]() The Opera Mini web browser is well familiarĪs for the Nokia browser, it handles the so called “Web services”. Opera’s rendering algorithm is very good and problems with page rendering are very rare. This saves on data and more importantly speeds things up – the Nokia C3 relies on EDGE when there’s no Wi-Fi around, so having to download much less data means faster browsing. For example, clocks in at about 370KB through Nokia’s S40 browser and just under 70KB through Opera Mini. The difference in image quality aside, the compression really saves on data charges. While this somewhat degrades the quality, on a small screen (as most low-power devices that rely on the Mini have) you can't tell the difference. The way Mini works is the page is rendered on Opera's servers and sent into a lighter format to the device, with the images compressed. The Nokia browser is still available but it’s been delegated other duties. You can download the newer version that offers new stuff such as multiple tabs. The default browser on the C3 is Opera Mini 4.2. The microUSB port is nice as well (and covered with a plastic flap no less), but you’d be unpleasantly surprised when you try to charge your Nokia C3 over USB – it just doesn’t work.įor bulk data transfers, the easiest option is the microSD card – it’s easily accessible and hot-swappable. The 3.5mm audio jack lets you plug in your favorite pair of headphones which is a good thing too. When you need to transfer a lot of data, Wi-Fi jumps to the rescue – it’s faster than 3G and there should be enough free hotspots you could hook up to.įor local connectivity, you have Bluetooth 2.1 with stereo audio support. And EDGE has enough bandwidth for IM messages, Twitter and Facebook updates, even for comfortable browsing with Opera Mini. ![]() The Nokia C3 has quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity so it will have voice and data connectivity in most of the world. Connectivity is good for an S40 phoneĬompared to the big league, the Nokia C3 is no connectivity monster. Here’s a sample video, so you see for yourselves. ![]() We guess that sort of video is only good for an occasional MMS. The Nokia C3 is rather unimpressive in video capture too – it manages which isn’t any good by anyone’s standards. Nokia C3 camera sample photos Video recording is no good either Overall, we wouldn’t recommend using the C3 camera for much more than contact photos Photos are often very noisy, the noise reduction algorithm can smear away whole areas and the color balance often misses the mark. Image quality is quite poor even by 2MP camera standards. The available settings include white balance, resolution, various effects and a self timer. Typical Series 40, the camera settings are rather limited but reasonable given the phone’s price range. The Nokia C3 packs a 2MP fixed focus-camera, which snaps photos at 1600x1200 pixels and quite expectedly, results aren’t particularly impressive. ![]()
