I own a Nokia 5800 now. It's a touch phone and I love it. It gives me convenience for typing SMS and making calls just by simply touching menus. I am not that gadget-gaga (it's my hubs believe me) but now, I can consider myself of going gaga over Nokia C3 hehehe. I've been eying this Nokia C3 since it was released in Europe. It's my hubby who told me about it and I find this mobile phone to be worth waiting and to buy for. According to some forum sites of gadgets, this phone will hit Manila middle of August; it's just an estimate though. But I didn't care whether it will be locally available earlier or later, the thing is, I should have a Nokia C3!

I've seen the dummy phone on Nokia store last weekend and it's really gets me. I so love it and its keeping me excited everyday hehehe! The professional look of this phone made me want it since the time I saw its dummy and eyed it over the internet. But surprisingly, maybe 4 days ago, my hubs told me that it will be in stores at the end of this month. What?!? Yes, the Nokia Philippines announced that it will be locally available in 95 Nokia Stores and selected outlets nationwide on July 31, 2010.
Let's hear it from the Nokia Philippines:

Built for the social networking butterfly in mind, the Nokia C3 offers instant
access to favorite sites straight from the homescreen, allowing people
to easily chat, tweet, follow, unfollow, view entries, post photos, like
statuses, comment on videos, and update their profile’s status. Writing
messages is quick thanks to its full QWERTY keyboard. Plus, email and chat
accounts can be set up straight from the device, without the need for a PC.
With its 2 megapixel camera, the Nokia C3 is awesome for taking pictures
and videos which can be instantly shared online, straight from the device, via
GPRS or Wi-Fi. You can also store up to 8GB of pictures, music and videos
by upgrading to an optional memory card.
The Nokia C3 comes in 3 cool colors -- hot pink, slate grey, and golden
white and will be available at all Nokia Stores and authorized Nokia Solution
Partners nationwide.

So, we were forced to wake up early today. I and hubs went to Cyberzone Megamall (arrived there at 9:30 am though the mall opens at 10 am) and get our reserved Nokia C3. Hubs have called them to reserve the unit two (2) days ago to avail the free 2GB Micro SD card for the first 20 customers. We were 3rd in queue. The 1st and 2nd customer seems to make me and hubs in a long wait hehehe. Finally, I now own a Nokia C3. This is really a steal for today only because tomorrow, it will be priced at P7,295. It is only today that they give P1,000 discount and I am not sure also if there is a Micro SD card included in that price.

What's included in the phone kit?
- Unit;
- Charger;
- Head phone; and
- Manual;
Plus, Nokia gives away a 2GB Micro SD Card from Kingston... hmm, pwede na rin (since we're in the list of their first 20 customers) and a SMART Sim pack. But before they gave us the free SD Card, we had the free Sim pack to be used first and we have it loaded of P15.00 only. After we've done it, we came back to Nokia and have been instructed for some choo-choos about Nokia messaging. Anyway, I let my hubs listened with the sales assistant hehehe.
Here are the reasons why I went gaga with this phone:
1st - Because of it professional look;
Slim but so handy...

2nd - You may mistakenly think its E71 at first glance;

3rd - I want to try QWERTY keyboard phone;
4th - I really need a nice phone for my other sim (personal number) and easy to tote around with;
5th - Last but not the least, it's so CHEAP for its introductory price!
The brochure says:
UNLIMITED & EASY.
Nokia Messaging now allows Nokia C3 mobile users to access Facebook & Twitter!
Plus you can still send emails or chat with friends anytime, anywhere.
Enjoy with SMART Buddy, all easy on the pocket.
Chat & Email are the only services available for other Nokia phones*.
FREE 7-DAY TRIAL! Text NOKIA TRIAL to 6677
My hubs registered to 6677. Hmmm, we just only load P15.00 but we can now enjoy the free 7-days trial, hmm... I'm beginning to like it though we don't really need this kind of trial because at home, we have a WI-FI. Anyway, I've tried browsing my Facebook and checking my Yahoo mails (be noted that you can't browse any sites except those sites and chats mentioned above) but it's very slow. I tried uploading a photo to Facebook taken from my Nokia C3 but it failed every time I try. Well, I think you just get what you paid for (remember, P15.00 load only). Again as I said, this Nokia Messaging UNLIMITED & EASY will not work for me. I just really don't have the virtue of patience in this thing, it's so slow, believe me hehehe. But I will keep this sim pack. It's still had 6 days of free trial anyway, and might need this in the coming days just in case hehehe. By the way, additional info to this, after the free 7-days trial, you have to reload P20.00 per day to continue the unlimited Nokia Messaging. And for those other Nokia phone users, you can have that service, too, but limited to Chat & Email only. I hope I have said something right, eh. I notice that I'm writing a lot of this service. Hello Smart & Nokia, I'm giving you free ad, lols!
As soon as we arrived home, my hubs tote around with the phone and we discovered a lot about the good things about this phone. It has a great sound. My hubs said it sounds better than his Nokia X6. Hmm... then, well and good hehehe. Then, the applications are lot. I'm so happy to own one.
That's all for now.
Stay tuned.
