The Nokia C3 Touch and Type features excellent quality
With stainless steel used around the handset to offer a premium feel. It looks great
And it's also as tough as old boots. Usability is also impressive. There's no need for a D-pad or any navigational buttons
With the OS operated by tapping and scrolling down through menus. Below the touchscreen
There's a large alpha-numeric keypad
With b
Great build
Good number pad
Customisable Home screen
Second customisable shortcuts screen
Huge keys. Easy to use. Great features.
Intuitive navigation from a combination of keys and touchscreen
Speedy internet
Text and calling facilities work well
Where to begin? The elegant steel bezel and brushed-metal frame make this phone classy. The design is absolutely ace
With sizeable keys which make tapping out text messages an absolute doddle
And comfortable too. The touchscreen is a great addition and at 2.4-inches is sizeable enough to handle most tasks without causing frustration. Nokia has hit on a winning formula by combining a basic ’boar
The editors didn't like
Sluggish in places
Apps aren't much fun
Resistive touchscreen
If you're used to a huge screen – an Apple iPhone or an Android device

Where text can feel a little bit crammed in.
Processor is challenged at times
No GPS
Fiddly to use
Twitter and Facebook integration is poor
Camera is lacklustre
No satnav skills
Home screen customisation is a bit tricky
Onboard memory is a paltry 30MB
S40 isn’t quite the cleverest of mobile operating systems and does feel limited
Especially with so much up-to-date tech under the hood. There’s no GPS either
A real miss seeing as Ovi Maps is now storming the more expensive
I have to say that reviewing this handset has definitely taken me back to my first few handsets which were candy bar with a lovely keypad, now you might think that is a bad thing but it isn't necessarily to be honest because simple isn't a bad thing I ...

S40 isn’t quite the cleverest of mobile operating systems and does feel limited, especially with so much up-to-date tech under the hood. There’s no GPS either, a real miss seeing as Ovi Maps is now storming the more expensive, high-end Nokia phones.
Ultimately, you have to remember that this is a budget phone, not a smartphone. The lack of sat-nav smarts shouldn’t trouble those after a simple mobile with a few modern-day benefits. This looks slick, sharp and couldn’t be easier to use. Once again, ...
Abstract: Nokia may be struggling to re-establish itself in the smartphone market with handsets like the N8, but the company still knows its onions when it comes to creating simple and reliable phones for the mass market, which is obviously the target for...

Sluggish in places, Apps aren't much fun, Resistive touchscreen
Don't be fooled by the Nokia C3-01 Touch and Type's long, complicated name. It's a simple, classic phone that's pleasantly enhanced by the addition of a basic touchscreen....
