Nokia C1-00 - User Reviews

  • I wouldn't use the Dual SIM feature on this phone to be honest.

  • Just noticed it's just a Dual SIM edition of the Nokia 1616. This phone does the exact same things as a Nokia 1616, but it has dual sims.

  • my first phone

  • I am using nokia c101. This phone is very high brigtness. It can't be reduce...so frndz, plz dont buy this phone

  • veryyyy veryyyy bad phone..........network problem is a big issue with this phone.....please don't buy this phone

  • its been like almost 4 years that my phone has been in use. it has gone to my step sister, my step father and to me. i doesn't have all the sexy features but its good when you like to keep in touch with people. the battery is like crazy awesome if the phone is not in use for a week or so it will barely say the battery is low. the flashlight is so useful especially at night when you are lazy.. just love it.. have no restart problem

  • All nokia phone throw in dustbin as there is no nokia ovi store and donot buy youtube not working i give c101 0 star

  • it is a very bad phone.it restarts automatically,signal strength is not good,getting complaint fast and many other complaints.complaints started from the beginning of use.i had used the phone only for 9 months,then it can't repaired. WORST PHONE DON'T BUY

  • Dear, be proud that, you own that model phone.;-) We cannot adjust its brightness and it seems no need of that, as it is TFT screen. So it consumes only less power than LCD. Hence it does not affect battery life.

  • Hi Friends, Can anyone tell me how to reduce the brightness for C1-00, hope it sucks battery life.

  • its good for simple users.it gives you all you want i mean suficcant use basic one .its stand by not tooo long but ok. its problem is its keyboard that doesnt stand for long time.you to replace it from time to time if you are a user of msgs.because it pops.it ok in general

  • Its always restarted, conside twise before buy.

  • Disple light

  • C1-00

  • People have forgotten that newer and bigger and more complicated isn't always better. First-class phone if you do not want a portable computer or if travelling or as a back-up. Very small and neat and light. I have an iPhone but still use the Nokia for its superb radio on the side. Never heard a better portable FM sound. The games are addictive. And the torch is very handy and reassurung. The standby time alone makes this a must-have. Imagine if you are travelling and your prize energy-guzzling smartphone runs out of juice. Try looking for a phone recharge station in an airport sometime. Or anywhere else. Thoroughly charming and stylish in blue. And it looks as if it will last forever. Well done Nokia.

  • can anyone tell me k does this phone supports hidden sms feature?

  • c1

  • display

  • I've been using a Nokia C1 dual SIM which was marketed mainly in Africa and Asia; the battery stand-by time is 35 days which is great if you are traveling places that lack a reliable electricity supply, e.g., hiking across Pyrenees. It comes with me everywhere. Original purchase price: 32 EUR. It's half the size and weight of my iPhone - which I tend to leave at home: iPhone needs charging every day :(

  • no it's a great phone and if ur having a personal call, act like a smart person and put in your earphone

  • I am using "Nokia C1-01" from January 2011. It is the worst phone. It has software problem. It restart automatically. Its speaker is single and it is back side of phone. So who is beside of you, he/she can here ear-phone sound clearly. But if you decrease the sound you cannot here.So it is not good or perfect phone.

  • to the 2nd comment, you'd rather contact an english instructor

  • Yhup ig ot same problem too.. it will restart when you're using the phone:((( don't by this one it's cheaper...

  • if you by cheaperst prise this. its ok to use. other wais you lost your many.

  • Good feature mobile..now my mobile is of 1year 8 months old:-)

  • Yes dear, I also have the same pboblem. Do not buy this phone.

  • when network is disconnetcted some area then automatically restart the phone

  • Contrary to the review opinion, I find a duel sim in this handy small phone really valuable. I do a lot of outdoor activity in areas where there is variable coverage from two different service providers. This phone makes a really good emergency device, likely to be in comms with at least one of the providers using the sim switch!

  • How to restrict unwanted calls in this mobile....

  • it is a good phone

  • very good basic single stand by,,,dual sim phone. Torch and Fm loudspeaker impressive. Every cell phone manu facturer should specify a value for antenna signal strength.. just as SAR value is measured and mentioned in specifications...all round i feel nokia has the best signal strength.....

  • how to delete service numbers?

  • how about the sending options?? is there a contact groups???

  • Mine was doing this also. I just reseted some things and is fine now!

  • actually u can! go to -> two sim settings -> first sim -> options -> divert if out of reach -> insert the number of sim 2 and activate. so the same steps with sim 2 by inserting the number of sim1 and activate! it worked perfectly for me :) hope this helps!

  • Everything's fine, except it restarts automatically every now and then.

  • Plus - strong battery - strog case - 3.5mm headphone jack - no software problems Minuses - only one speaker for normal conversation and loudspeaker, irritating to feel that the sound comes from the back, also, sound quality and strenght is 6/10 because of this

  • you cannot use both sim's at same time. there is shortcut key to switch over

  • i think this is a best mobile phone i use it and no complaint to my side for c-1 phone.

  • Never buy this phone (Nokia C1-00). It has so many problems. It restarts every hour. i.e. it turns off automatically and boot again. I think Nokia should recall all of this model(Nokia C1-00) from market. I found this problem and complaint to reseller first time on Feb 2011, and they gave me another phome(Nokia C1-00). But the same problem occurred. It restarts every hour. i.e. it turns off automatically and boot again. I had to visit the reseller again in May 2011. The reseller gave me another phome (Nokia C1-00). The same problem occured again. I had to visit reseller again on July 2011, and they gave me another phone again. It has same problem on Nov 20110. if I complaint it to reseller, they will give me another phone again. Do I need to continue to do this ?

  • can any body tell me is both sim can active at same movement in this set

  • I can not connect with PC,while connecting handset is restarting, pls help....

  • you mean 48 days or hours??

  • this phone is very good and good battery back up

  • this phone is very good and good battery back up

  • i have this phone, in terms of charging and battery life, this is the best. Can fully charge in just 2 hours, can last 48 days in standby mode.

  • this is the best phone i ever had.I m lovin it......................

  • I don t know why, but I face the same problem. Check if you have many contacts that begins with the same group of symbols-letters or numbers. you don t have to delete it, just move it in a phone memory. Check not to have the same numbers in sim 1, sim2 or phone memory. this works for me.

  • it quite nice.its shape also good. i must say that it is better than other mobies.

  • probs with network and software!!!! i'm using it temporarily!!! well...it has got a good battery back up and quality flash light n dats it..nothng mre and nothng less!!!!

  • I'm trying to encode contacts on the distribution list so I can be able to send a message simultaneously to several contacts but it is not functioning. Any suggestion please??????

  • restarts whenever it feels like restarting. sometimes network connection just goes off. the worst one: sometimes it goes off totally. I do not want to say this but i kind of feel needs to learn from other companies b4 making more dual sim phones.

  • what kind of software problem , please tell details.

  • Does any one know? Why this unit is easyly getting restart even I'h already swapped it for 2 times in nokia service centre Indonesia. Well I thought nokia has cheated me.....

  • it s nice but two network is not availabale at a time

  • Nokia C1-00, one of the best set i have used, tho i have never used non-symbian mobile phones much. But as a secondary phone, its too good.. Pros: many contacts can be used (2sims + phone memory) powerful torch light real long battery small in size Cons: It hangs in contact list atleast 5 times a day It hangs while checking call log 5 times a day It hangs it hangs it hangs.. wtf ????

  • just restore factory settings. code-12345. now all the problem will solved.

  • signal drops randomly,hangs while calling and receiving sms restarting 5to 8 times a day...except these faults good phone :) really nokia cheated us.........

  • The phone is good for the money. But the big problem is that it hangs and switches off and re-boots automatically many times in a day. At times, it hangs when receiving a call and you will never know that who called. I gave it to a nokia care center, they gave me back the phone next day saying that the software is updated from V2.6 to V3.0. But the problem still persists.

  • It's a good phone very good battery and nicely design

  • 1-big problem in network connectivity. 2-The phone constantly restarts 3-Normal design. Blue colour looks nice. 4-Very Good key pad.

  • 1-big problem in network connectivity. 2-The phone constantly restarts 3-Normal design. Blue colour looks nice. 4-Very Good key pad.

  • Don't Buy this Mobile Because this is the Most Dirty Cell Ever Seen or Used..

  • what is the price of Nokia C-100??

  • Its a good phone. Blue colour looks really nice.

  • Plz Urgent Guys , Can i Search Names By the Alphabets ?

  • phone is attractive.But i used only 1 week.it was restart automatically.keypad is not comfortable.don't buy..

  • It's just like the Nokia 1616. The menu and the design is the same, there are only 2 difference between these phones: this phone supports 2 SIM cards (without dual standby), and a greater standby time. I always wonder why Nokia hasn't resolved the dualSIM standy to this phone, there are plenty dualsim chinaphones on the market.

  • A COMPARISON WITH NOKIA AND SONY ERICSSON FM PHONES 1-Features: Nokia phones have more features 2-Battery backup:Exactly same 3-FM: Sony ericsson mobiles have more sound clarity through earphone and signal strength. 4-Display: Nokia have more themes and colours. But sony ericsson displays have good clarity and good looking.

  • Normal design. Very Good key pad. Good battery backup. FM sound is loud through both earphone and external speaker. But not much stereo widerning through earphone.

  • very good and nice phone.. 1month battery life

  • bad performance... resets while receiving sms,unable to search contacts using alphabets...!!!!!

  • good phone. but it should be dual stanby mode. pls...! giv us..

  • nice nd cute mobile

  • C1-00 it is nice phone but at time both sim are not worked this is bad point.

  • it is nice phone but it should have dual sim activation (Dual sim standby mode)

  • Cool phone for the price. Got it in Dubai when I visited. Work great with the 2 simcards. Like the torch in it. Does what it is supposed to. Buttons could be better, but these days most handset buttons suck. Wish they could make these with the old 3310 buttons. Battery life is brilliant.

  • Somethink new,Supports Dual SIM. Nathing more than that........

  • i dont know about this cell ph security cod how can i clear this call duration

  • The phone constantly restarts, (switches off the on again)at least twice a day.. The dual sim cards cant be used co-currently. Otherwise it's as durable as all nokia phones.

  • my keypad is working well. trying changing your keypad.

  • @ Saumya,u mst be from Srilanka,tz just abot Rs.4000/= in Srilanka that means about 40$,no memmory crd slot,dnno abt msg capacity but it can store more.........

  • my keypad does not work properly. Did anyone face this problem?

  • Just got this cell phone...It's surprisingly good! BTW i've got it for my others sim cards...

  • it had no memory card :( no media.. sms memory is almost 200.. set fit hai for usage, not bad

  • Nokia makes better phone than this but why it has made so boring phones like C1-00

  • i love this phone.

  • hey guys plz tell me its price and how many sms it stores...is there any limit on smss.... wat abt memory card.... some body plz help.. thanks on adv... :)

  • it does support 2 sim cards but not actually simultaneously, you have to change the active sim card when you want to use the other one.

  • can we use both the sims at one time???pls advice

  • This s nice phone,but the ear piece does not produce quality sound.I use Nokia 1208 and i like the sound,like the person talking to you is close by your side.I expected the C-100 to be the same but i am disappointed.

  • Do u think that this is phone ? This device is not for guys, but for ladies who don't want to spend much of their money in the phone world. but cost very hi plz normal prize issue

  • Do u think that this is phone ? This device is not for guys, but for ladies who don't want to spend much of their money in the phone world. but cost very hi plz normal prize issue

  • can both sims be run at once or one sim works at a time?

  • Do u think that this is phone ? This device is not for guys, but for ladies who don't want to spend much of their money in the phone world.

  • No doubt it is a nice phone but its loudspeaker and handset dnt produce a reasonable sound.. For easy switch store all the contacts in phone memory...

  • dgd

  • HOW to activate two sim at a time?

  • @ALL Stop complain plz! ================== - first of all where nokia said it's DUAL SIM? nokia said "two SIM cards in one phone - and switch between them" here is link: - it's basic phone. it's just for call and sms! why you talking about of 3g, edge, bluetooth,...etc! sorry for say this but some guys think with 30 usd can get all things. - if you looking for toy! it's not for you. it's for users like me that have camera, mp3 player and laptop in anywhere(home/office). i just need a phone why i should be pay more! it's clarify? Nokia is not stupid. they cover all groups user. it's 30 usd phone. and really i need phone such as this, not much.

  • i bought this phone 2 weeks ago as a secondary phone...it has excellent battery life..i charge it once weekly with about 7-8 hours calls through the week..really awesome!!! it's so light and handy..nice specifications(colour display,pwoerful torch,fm radio,converter etc)..good voice quality and the price is amazing The only drawback is the voice leakage from the back Finally,if you want a reliable basic phone with excellent battery life, marvellous price and above all with two sims switching between them so easily just go for nokia c1-00..the best value for money

  • sim card not properly installed. remove sim card from phone and then insert sim card again in mobile phone. your problem may be solved.

  • Can i buy this phone for chating

  • the phone keeps swithching on and off automatically .have same issue with the same phone that my friend has

  • outdoor calling capabilities is very weak volume... beacause it only have 1 speaker for both earpiece and loudspeaker....

  • How is the ringtone quality?(Is it loud enough ?) How is the voice leakage? How is the sim card switching feature? How is the voice call clarity?(Can we hear loud and clear the other person?)

  • does it have caller groups for sending bunch of sms??

  • resets randomly while sending messages.. any solutions??

  • got it a couple of days ago. I didn't know it's packed with FM radio. excellent work. love it. low price, nice specifications.

  • can you receive SMS sent to sim 2 while sim 1 is active?or should sim1 be constantly check for SMS?

  • the phone is light-handy and very reliable when it comes battery. its a travel phone

  • this phone is very reliable, good battery back up, good Quality, the keypad is soft but noisy.. clear & good voice calls but i noticed that the back speaker is louder than the front speaker, it means your phone conversation is for public to hear, hahahaha... no privacy...=(

  • no t bad but is not good

  • low voice quality for calls

  • Hey guy, I bought this mobile and it's soo working good and never tilts battAry life is awsome and it's too great for it's price Great fm radio Two sim cards working just well Even there r some ppl saying that the big rectangular button is very hard I'll tell them that its not a button aslan The original charger and 3.5 mm headset are like 3/4 the price of this phone So my advice is to by this phone cuz it's really great for spare phone

  • check the sim card first..properly insert it in the phone(c1).if it will not work,,insert it in other handset..if it works,then your phone has the problem.

  • i bought this phone yesterday..anyway,,if you just like sending sms or making calls..this phone has long battery life.

  • replace new with new sim card

  • Its not good at all...

  • I purchased this set few hours ago just as my secondary phone for messages.. Keys are so hard specialy the big rectangular one.I can see its imprint on my thumb after using some time. So do not buy this for messaging. Other features are good like clear bright screen, exellent battery timing.

  • can anybody help me? sim card registration failed message shows randomly

  • i want take ur upinion..buy or not this fon?

  • no it does not have middle button. i sugest u dont buy it. its call sound quality is very low.

  • YES

  • don buy dis phone no 2 antenna. dual sim only and u have to switch

  • No.

  • It does. I've had it for 5 days and may say that: 1) its keys are small & easily missed(softkeys and numbers) 2) Speaker is very weak & in loudspeaker mode may be heard by others 3) Battery is good 4) Flashlight is worse than in Nokia 1208

  • I will hav this phone nxt month.. does this phone have middle button?.. pls answer.. thanks

  • call cutts off while backlite off

  • can you receive SMS sent to sim 2 while sim 1 is active?or should sim1 be constantly check for SMS?

  • yes there's star key it will change b/w the sims

  • it fell into water and did not switch on again, pls help

  • just press and hold * (Star key)...

  • plz tell me that how to switch b/w the sim? Is there is a dedicated kay or something else? plz help

  • you have been using this for a year now??? Come on dude... this model was only released last quarter of 2010.... you kidding us??

  • its a nice set i m using this from a year battery time is very good

  • does these means you can only receive calls on one sim which is the active sim

  • For me this is a handy phone and cheap. Just got it form RM110. Agreed with the sound leakage through the back of the phone and it's even clearer to listen through the back of the phone which means there will be no privacy as people can hear what you're talking. Plus the ringing volume sucks when people call you. i set it to volume 4 and it takes 2 - 3 seconds to ring the volume to volume 4 (ascending ringing) and it cannot be changed perhaps it's made so. Keypad is sucky too especially the call, enter, back and off button as the spaces between those buttons were so small sometimes i even pressed call and enter together. Loudspeaker sucks kinda squeaky when i turn the radio on via Loudspeaker but it's much more better use the headset.

  • bettery problem its does not working stand by 1008hr its just one or two day standby other wise shut down.NOkia company plz check this?

  • Does not work two sim card together, use one or other. So whats the point? Brand new and restart when try to choose a ring tone. Trash your money buying it.

  • i think that the keypad is..............

  • Exactly

  • This phone is is useless, Ear piece sound is not clear. Keypad is really bad for messaging and no dual sim standby. Buy a china cell phone in same price having dual sims standby, memory card support and larger screen.

  • Due to design of this phone, when making a phone call sound comes out from the back of the phone (you can actually see the speaker if you remove the back cover) even if loudspeaker is set to off. Sound quality during phone call is actually better if you turn the phone over and stick your ear to the back of the phone, which makes you look like an idiot! I put some tape on the speaker under the back cover, and now the sound from the front is much better, louder and I don't have nearby people listening at my calls, but the ringtones are too low, because there seems to be just one speaker for ringtones and calls. This sucks! Also, I hate that during standby the screen turns off. Now clue on missed calls and missed messages. You have to press a button to turn screen on and check. This also sucks. And that's probably one of the reasons why battery lasts so long. But I still like the design, battery life and having 2 sims (even though only one at a time is active)

  • Sudden restart problem solved after keeping "Info Service" off from message settings.

  • nice basic phone.

  • I've been using HTC Wildfire and I just bought this Nokia C1 phone few hours ago as my secondary basic phone. Sometimes smart phone feels not smart enough for basic operations like make a phone call, change a SIM quickly, long talk & standby time etc.. This set seems have a good build quality. Didn't like the keypad though, a bit hard and rubber like. I'm glad it has a radio and flash light too. I think it'd be much better for rough use if it were water proof.

  • i agree 100% 1. Sudden restart while working with the phone 2. Signal dropping (abnormally) 3. poor sound quality 4. Bad loud speaker 5. super slow!! to read & delete one sms it takes about 40 seconds, driving you mad while having lots of messages, while the good old 1102 is so much faster and the keypad so much more comfortable.. 6. keypad is a night mare, you need to use your finger nail and really focus to get the right button pressed why not have use the good old black and white screen and keypad from the 1102??

  • i use as my spare phone, and it is very effective! it does not have fancy app's but it works well as a handset. it is very light, has not failed in function and the duel sim function came in very handy when i went on holidays. Both my girlfriend and i were both contactable through the one handset. The flashlight is also bright and usefull.

  • can you receive SMS sent to sim 2 while sim 1 is active?or should sim1 be constantly check for SMS?

  • It has some problem that mainly restarting

  • How we can use MP3 Rington?

  • it is good phone.

  • just bought c1 at one of the retail outlet in SM Val, 1,560 with Nokia Warranty, 1,440 (Gray Market) Store Warranty. 4 Days use still wd 3 bars battery. all in all nice simple Phone.dual sim(no problem)takes 3 secs to change sim via dedicated key.

  • enough type of phone. in this day and age? please. Most important it uses the greatest battery ever invented bl5c. I have tons of these and loads of extra batteries already. since 1100, n6600 and friends. this is what nokia does best. enough phone, long battery life, awesome.

  • where did you buy this phone worth 1,500?? thank you..

  • considering the price i think this phone is worth your money. i just bought this phone for 1,560.00 php pesos.so far im liking it.

  • its a really good phone *long battery life *awesome radio and back speaker *it comes with an earphone negative *voice leakage at the back. the person beside could hear you. its audible enough for them to understand what is being said. but still its a good phone for calling. you could put a tape at the inside part of the back lid of phone, problem solve. *no internal antenna. you have to put the earphone while using the back speaker for radio. *the sounds from the earphone is not load enough to overcome the sound of daily traffic. overall, if your looking for a handyphone for texting and calling with a long battery life. and radio for entertainment while jogging this is the phone for you.

  • Superb phone for those living in the real world and using an iPad or laptop for computer work. Beautiful shape, clear bright screen, outstanding radio and powerful inbuilt speaker, excellent battery life, wonderful torch and dual sim function. Comes with hands free and first class earphones. Does most things a smart phone can't do and hardly noticeable in the pocket. Then at about 5% of an iPhone cost. Way to go Nokia! A true winner.

  • the question about if the two sim will work at the same time, is a good question because i have been having same problem to know if the two sim can work at the same but i realised that is not posible because i have search all through the phone but no link for two sim but swaping of sim..if there is any short cut to activate two sim please do display the process to go about it. tnx

  • I'm using this phone almost 2 months and had following difficulties 1. Sudden restart while working with the phone 2. Signal dropping (abnormally) 3. poor sound quality 4. Bad loud speaker 5. Poor response time 6. Bad user experience while doing the contact searching But it has following good features as well 1. Superb extended battery life 2. Good FM Radio

  • will both sim work at a time?

  • My battery lasted 10 days!!!! The FONTS ARE HUGE for us wearing reading glasses, this is great!!!

  • not dual sandby dual sim only and u have to switch

  • It is a nice phone from nokia, I prefer it from Nokia 1616 because it has Dual SIM slot. So easly switch between two SIM's. Thanks to Nokia

  • i think so NOKIA 1st time launch this kind of cell-phone in the market but, i like very much this kind of cell u don't know that the battery timing is very awesome because its past 48 days in stand by and also 13hours in continues talking on any network in every country THANKS

  • nice phone good set c100 plz enjoy dis phone

  • Are you really sure it's not double stand-by (like for example Samsung D880 which I presently own and was one of the first DuoSims).

  • fone is good battary is excellent dual sim one active and other is capable of accommodating setting to tell you if another calling good

  • Exactly the phone i wanted,,, I dont think you can talk simultaneously on both the sim active. So why complaining of switching. You can switch to your personal number or common number according to your need. Battery is excellent, i have not charged phone since 4days ago i bought it although i talk almost 2hrs a day on phone...... It has everything in price Rs. 1400 and never compare Nokia with chinese or other phone. Just compare the network capablity for which i think mobile phone is meant for.......

  • this is totally insane! this nokia unit is full of crap! i js bought a night ago, they told that it is dual sim, but not dual stand-by! what's the point?! this is good if you're just want a very very cheap mobile unit!

  • If you are over 40 and wear reading glasses, this phone is for you - the TEXT can be adjusted to huge proportions and readable even with no glasses on.

  • Wait for Nokia C2-00 till March 11.

  • where did u buy this unit with that price? thanks

  • I just bought ONE yesterday for Php 1,790! Very light, love the flashlight! Dual SIM easy to switch. Awesome battery life! Why did Nokia take so long to make something like this! Great, handy phone!

  • I agree all of you.. this mobile is bullshit mobile.. I goT fooled by its dual catagery... I thought Nokia will never fool people.. At the time of buying it , he(shop owner) didnot give full demo.. In hurry I have taken... because just having believe on Nokia. 1 month back I have purchased it for 1799/- rupees.Now it only 1394.. What a huge difference in one month only :-( ... Really Nokia cheating the people now a days... Please go for SonyErrison or samsung.. Atleast Karbon or Micromax... Nokia mobiles are dabbbbaaaa mobiles

  • How does the dual sim work in this one? Can both the numbers be active together?

  • Hi, just bought this phone yesterday and I have 1280 also. in normal phone call,Voice should be hear from the front speaker, if you heard it from back speaker, then perhaps speakerphone is turned on. C1-00 voice is clear and loud enough, but due to the design of upper phone body is not flat, to hear the voice clearly we should press the phone to our ear tightly.

  • Where does voice come out in making calls for this phone? I want to replace my nokia1280 with this one because of the voice output in doing calls. It's hard to hear the voice of the caller beacause the sounds comes out from the back of the phone. Can someone answer this question for me? Thanks, ^_^.

  • 970mah hai yaar

  • 1020mah should be included

  • guys what battery included in the package? 800mAh(BL-5CB) or 1020mAh(BL-5CB)

  • Is the in-call sound quality good with this phone?

  • I was also fooled by the "Dual SIM" categorization. If at least it had incoming call SIM switching it would've been ok. As it is it is just a "SIM switcher" not a Dual SIM. There are cheap Chinese phones that are on dual sim active stand-by. Incoming outgoing from any SIM you like.

  • No dual standby options.it's foul

  • nno use of both sims at a time....so y called a dual sim mobile????

  • c1 no use just wastage of money same prize you get good mobile of china dual sim just drama.

  • C1-00 restarts automatically when in standby mode (not doing anything at all, just kept on table). Not a very useful mobile for dual-sim, only 1 sim is active at a time.

  • Ya, I support you - "You are appointed"

  • this phone is fully shit. it ugly response! it's very slow! very bad keys for typing! very bad keys that disturb everyone with its loud tap sound! very bad user interface! and so so so... and nokia is lying about is stand by time! i had 1202 as my second phone and i was compeletly good with it. but this is realy a peace of shit. don't buy it.

  • Nokia,Plz close this model as soon as possible & use the raw material of this fone in the other Nokia fones. This is the best idea,even the Nokia engineers could not give u such ideas.

  • i agree with you ....

  • ok no me escribas nada pues :S

  • Hola javi... escribime aqui

  • Men this fone isn't useful...whts d esence of puttin 2 sims when i cant use both @ d same time...Jst wasted my resources.

  • I agree with you

  • Fail Model. Wrong fone launched at wrong Time. Nokia,learn from me how & when is the time to launch a fone. This model should be launched 3 yrs before.

  • Is c1 creats network problem???

  • Please Launch Nokia C 2 immediately.

  • Can U use bouth SIM cards at the same time?

  • this sound leakage problem is same with the nokia 1616 also...

  • yes there is sound leakage from rear side.

  • the phone is good, but there is sound leakage problem. while you are talking every body can here you. because the sound is coming out from the front ear piece and the rear speaker. any body face this problem, or is it just me?

  • cellphone is good but the speaker and ringer is single.There is a sound leakage problem..

  • A bloody nonsense handeset frm nokia

  • i bought this fone. i have one prob. when ever i dial a no. the sound of beep started along with ringing sound. it continous until phone picked up at other side. plz tell me how to get rid from this prob . thanks in advance.

  • useless mobile, if we can't use dual sim card at a time.

  • how is d battery backup??

  • it has 2 slots only but u can't use both of them at a time.china phones r far better to give the service of dual sim like Symphony

  • I was fooled by this phone after purchase.i thought, i can use 2 SIM at a time but it just surprised me.just waste of money.

  • simple and classic...dis is a phone for down to earth people....but it is not a dual sim phone...has only 2 slots

  • Dual sim? I was fooled by this phone. It is just the basic phone with only two slots for sim. Only one sim will be active., the other is switched off, I repeat-switched off. Sims can be switched each other. The idea of using 2 sims in one phone was popular years back. Why a firm like Nokia bring it now?????

  • 100000000000000000% Bad phone from Nokia.......

  • this phone is awesome battery life its giving straight 12days battery backup .... really am satisfy with this phone ....

  • this phone is just a machine from making calls ONLY.....

  • any opinions about sound leakage??

  • I don't think that it is good for young guys & girls but i'll be suitable & cmfortable for my & your grannies

  • I want to know if there is sound leakage from the backside of the phone..i heard it from a mobile phone store owner. im interested in buying the phone but im a little confused now after hearing this..

  • it is the vv vorst phone in nokia suddenly the phone was hanging and gon to switchoff

  • it is cheap. long lasting battery but in all bad

  • if it is a bad phone, then NOKIA have to produce a new product which will benefit to all NOKIA customers.Bcoz i a Nokia user since 7years.Actually i want to buy a NOKIA phone in which i will get so many facility with dual sim which will work in same time.will i expect from NOKIA.I hope NOKIA will produce soon a good product which is also affordable for normal person.

  • nokia must have employed someone new,and iam certain it was not inspected,simcard bank.

  • Not enough information given

  • Not good

  • You have to Activate call divert in both sims ok?

  • Not good as expect, it is not full dual sim, very bad even compare to chines product....which is work in full dual sim.

  • correct

  • I think very soft, and this keypad is very best for sms.

  • I want know about the model...If sim1 is active and if a call comes to sim2..what ill happpen to that call..is it diverted automatically to sim1...?pls tell me some one..

  • ya it's very nice key pad for sms's fast and durable...

  • nice phone.not dual stand by.dont trust battery life.max of 4 days.i got 3.5 days in which i talked for 3.08 hrs

  • If this phone cant work standby i mean dual sims in one time so what is the benefit of this phone. I just want to tell the nokia to make a phone in slim design like nokia 1203 dual sim working in one time that woul be better. Thanks

  • How is its keypad for sms. either hard or soft ?

  • Nice Battery Backp In This Phone.. and ruff n tuff device

  • it is good, 2 sim cards inserts in it but not sandby in one time, if you change other sim just press * hardly then change your quickly without on/off its simple and better other nokia handsets like 1650 1661 1662 1616

  • for a cheap phone and it diverts call from main sim card to secondary sim card. I tell you it is worth every penny :-)

  • If you havent added +91 befor phone numbers. just add +91 befor the numbers you have stored.

  • This fone is son of bitch

  • This is dual sim for namesake. It works on only one sim at one time. This is fooling of customers. Nokia is afraid of cheap dual sim mobiles.

  • this phone, it can't use dual sim in one time, can use only one sim! if want to change sim, we need to restart it, so why do u need to make this phone?

  • i love nokia product but dual standby would have been lovely

  • how exactly the stand by time.i dont care dual stand by.someone with experiance please reply.beg u.....

  • 250

  • how is the battery ? really 1152h on standby ?!!?!?!?!

  • daul sim but not daul standbye sim means ,only one sim card is active at a time if u want to use other sim u have to switch ,not bad

  • guys in this cell phone how many msgs we can save it.. plz reply fast...

  • ***Guys before giving a comment b sure with definitions: Double Sim: Just holds 2 sims with only 1 being active (Nokia C1-00) Dual Sim: Holds 2 sims with 2 active at a time to receive info (call r msg) Dual Standby: Holds 2 sims with 2 sims active at a time to receive n send info (call r msg) Hot Swappable: 2nd Sim can b removed without the removal of battery n no need to switch-off while changing the sim in the slot. So NOKIA hasn't did any injustice to you.... it is just a prebasic phone meant for rural areas. So guyz plz b cool n wait for da NOKIA C2-00 which for sure will b a hot-cake in da market.

  • What is "no dual standby"? Available only in one SIM or not?

  • Hello everybody! I just wanted to ask if there is any way of reducing the display brightness?? There is no option in settings or anywhere to reduce brightness, searched it a 100 times..!! PLZ anyone out there can help me..!! Screen's too bright and it hurts..

  • I bought recently this phone and battery life is horrible. Talk time 4 hours. Standby time 6 days only. Disappointing. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.

  • i want to buy a set which coverage gsm &cdma network both.

  • it is like my old NOKIA 3310 with coverter for dual simcard :D

  • it is a nice phone man u know its battery backup is godgeous

  • I bought it thinking that it supports two sim cards simultaneously and its a piece of junk, it just supports one sim at a time, the only facility is that you can switch from one sim to other. Total waste of my 1800/-

  • just save all number with +91 and your problem will be solved.

  • let me know that is nokia c1-00 has the dawning tone ??? some 1 would like to tell me ???

  • good phone overall,Inbox capacity is 300 which is sufficient considering the budget..The Only con is that when you call somebody then you can hear his/her voice coming from the loudspeaker!! Strange isn't it??

  • This is the phone for me! No BS - It's all about calling, SMS and being robust, simple with an extremely long battery life (over 6 weeks).

  • im using C-100, its nice phone but the problem is that any one call me it just show phone numbers not names. even the names are saved. plz any one help me in it..

  • There are 5 ringtone composer, can I use those ringtones as a MP3 tones and how can I add a new tones? I mean live voice.

  • My C1 Battery powered 7 days in a row.

  • this is best phone.i like it.i hope it is largest saleing phone.thanks c-1 thanks nokia.

  • Nokia is still the best among low priced mobile phones. No other batt can withstand the batt life of nokia's. Durablity is at its best. I still prefer nokia.

  • Hey Nokia you have to grow up, if you want to make dual Sim phone, then you need to do lot of home work.. cuz the Chinese phones with dual Sim have already taking the market.. If you want to compete then you have to bring out something better

  • This mobile set is not good for me. Cause no way to previous contact list input.

  • nokia c1 sucks for a company so big dont u people ever go out in d market before u launch a product better not launch such a thing than make urself looking like big loosers.

  • Activate Call divert on Both sims

  • useless this dual sim phone one sim active. keypad very poor. i suggest not to buy.

  • the dad f all mbls nokiaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • he guys plz don't go for Nokia C1-00 it is a dual sim phone but it is not dual sim stand by phone its mean one phone is active and other is dead u have to swap between sim 1 and sim 2 .... just like double sim jacket.... so don't go for it....

  • I only use it for outgoing calls and hence no problem with dual standby

  • Gladys, you rather buy nokia 1616.

  • 1,900 only

  • for how many days the battery life?

  • if i want to use the other sim..what should i do?i will turn it off or wat?im planing to buy this because of the good review that it has a long life battery,but for how many days?,it costs 2,050p here in cotabato..pls do response..my email add [email protected]

  • I buy this on 19-10-2010. C1-00 keypad made from rubber but hard like plastic. There is no center button D-pad. I dont mind the 2sim but single active debate. I buy this because it got most powerful battery in entry level phone. I use this as spare phone and mostly for sms. Standby/sleep mode screen is blank. Actualy it is not complitly blank. Look deeply You will see the clock-date and missed call/sms. If the keypad is locked, just press the red button and the screen will on showing the clock-date and any missed call/sms. Interesting. In standby/sleep mode and keypad locked, only left softkey and red botton can turn on the screen. Vamos. Call on board: 3 games= bounce, sudoku, forbidden treasures. 5 ringtone composer. 10 reminder. 250 sms, 500 contact Sms can be send later on. Radio use head set. flash light, its very good feature. Cant ask for more. Good luck.

  • Not bad very cheap for comunication it is ok.

  • nokia best

  • This not good because this not on time both sim, you must off one sim instead of other sim when you want to on it.

  • according to me it's meanigless phone, hand set not prove dual sim it self.

  • bekar phn hai.... money waste its only dual sim holder not dual sim mobile.... u can only switch between two sims... both sim are not working at a same time.... only one sim works at a time....... that 3rd class china mobiles are far better den ur c100......

  • I would like to ask a question. Why people expect this model should be comparable to others? Well, if Nokia could give dual standby that would be better. I have used high end phones and the basic ones too. My experience is if the handset is basic it would be problem free. Not too many features, not too many problems. I am a travelling sales person. Yes I keep two sims. One number is circulated among business, personal contact and friends. the other one is limited only to family and close friends. I keep the regular one on generally. Whenever, I want to stay out of the routine and just be myself, I start the second sim. That way I always be in touch with family and close friends and generally in touch with business contacts. Hence, I find this just right for people like me. Moreover, unlike in chinese sets you do not have to worry about the battery life.

  • How much is The Battery Life?

  • it is a great gift of nokia family.but the keaypad is not so good,it make a sound while input.

  • the phone is not useless. this model is relevant to low income areas of the world where $45 is not a negligible amount

  • This is waste cel. It is nt useful. Please provide all kinds of dual sim cel

  • nokia phone have better voice clarity than china and other mobiles so nokia with dual sim have given chance to over come the china disturbed voice..............

  • this is actually a nice phone, extremely basic yes but its only $45 here in australia useful for us people that only need the two sim functionality for making calls & the battery life is amazing.

  • ghtiya phone hai

  • Keeping two sims in a mobile dosent mean it is dual sim. This is one of the useless phone from NOKIA. Even cheapest china mobiles deserve win over this looser.. :(

  • this is one of the usless phone from nokia

  • Thanks house,d reveiw on c1 ph has opened my eyes.If i ever think of getting a 2sim ph,i bet it nt nokia

  • how i set flight mode on C1-00

  • Nokia is a Best Compniy on Mobile Phone They give nice and Best Quality on the people But Nokia C1 is not Beautifull , No Budy Shine , No style this is a old Style and no camra , And Very imported Dule Sim, This is a Chithing No Dule sim as a time active.

  • toooooooooooootoooooooooooooooooooooooooo bed phnone yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • please Nokia don't make this useless phone in present and future also and flush this mobile in toilet because 1100 is better than C1-00.

  • This is an excelent phone for those who use 2 sims alternatly, no need to draw battery for insertion of 2nd SIM. its battery time is excellent. Nokia being a standard company doesnot cheat ever. i am nokia user and i always prefer Nokia.

  • Its of no use,since der is no dual sim standby mode,no EGSM ,no quad band,no EDGE and even no data transfer capabilities.

  • Too bad When we have a lot of other ph even from SAMSUNG its useless to buy this phone

  • nokia is a doing fraud with the customers..

  • yes u r write nokia is cheating with people 1 sim at a time.... this is cheating with open eyes

  • The only way you would know if theres an incoming call from the other network (SIM) , is to use the call divert.

  • nokia is cheating with with d people with a dual sim phone having so expensive cost.there also other handset available in d market with d low rates. nokia should reduce the rates of this handset

  • Nokia dual stanby kya aapki bund se lenge hum sb. Ise to nokia ko apni bund me le lena chahiye. Only one sim can on at a time. Are Nokia playing tricks with everybody. China is better than this mobile.

  • one drawback of dis phone,,, we can only use 1 sim at a time :(

  • No Bluetooth ? No Internal Memory ? No Card Slot for External Memory ? Nokia you are kidding, This Phone is just a piece of shit.

  • i have been using this phone since a week but battery is not as good as promissed. after 6 days of full charge battery is empty and i was expecting 4 to 5 weeks

  • Thats not really the best of options you have as of now. Why? Because 1110/12 is not more available. And regarding the C1-00 cons compared to 1110 is a only more than a couple. Now to take the pros, you better not compare both. But simply; you buythis phone because its 'nokia' dual sim with great talktime. Also, something you did not mention, the keypads are worse too, 1112 was better. :)

  • I have to NOT agree with your experienced opinion here. The voice leakage problems persists in the low-cost phone series from nokia, typically the 12XX series, including C1-00. It has a dedicated speaker for the rings and speaker phony but seems like the primary speaker itself acts like a loudspeaker with the lowest LS volume, if you know what i mean. So, if you are planning to get this phone considering the talktime and 'dual' sim facility, this probably wouldn't help you safe-guard your privacy. Especially is you are in a quiet environment, mind you, it won't matter if you are in a loudspeaker or not, you better use the headphones.

  • yes display is blank. but you can ON keypad auto lock. then press call end button, you can see time, date etc..in black and white format

  • with my experience there is no speaker leakage...

  • No need to panic,you can see the difference between C1 & C2. It's already specified.C1 is a dual sim but not dual standby while C2 is a dual standby.

  • But i presume Nokia told you this phone is a Dual Sim but not a Dual STANDBY; meaning both sims can't be active at same time,so stop blaming them.

  • Nok C1-00 Vs Nok 1110 basic functionality comparision: 1)case/cover C1-00 too slippery. 1110 better. 2)handfree speaker C1-00 low volume. 1110 better. 3)Ringing tone C1-00 too soft. 1110 better. 4)standby mode C1-00 screen blank,show nothing. 1110 shows time,date, missed call..etc you better try out c1-00 throughly first before handling over your hard earned money.

  • Bought C1-00 to replace my aging Nok 1100. Very disappointed with the low ringing tone. My fav Nostalgia ringing tune is not included. In standby mode the screen is blanked and cannot see the clock/date or missed call. Nokia should have use always-on monochrome display for this low end model. finally after 2 days using, decided to go back to 1100.

  • The Flashlight and the Loooooooonnnnnnnnggggggg battery life is very, very important. Major, major.

  • Avail now in Msia. cost RM145 (official set, not AP). Pros: -quite cheap Cons: -cover very slippery, hard to hold. -ringing volume too soft -clock and date display cannot stay on all the time.

  • Dear indians , nokia C1 is not a dual sim phone ,nokia is mis guiding the public . Plz dear nokia , u hav good reputution in india , kindly dont loose it. samsung is better as compare to nokia in dual sim phone.

  • how about 3sim

  • Makes sense to me. There is a huge market for very low cost Dual SIM. Driver is cost, cost, cost and in many deleloped markets the user have two SIM cards to be able to use the cheåest carrier at any one moment. So a more expensive phone is out of the question for these people.

  • oops!! sorry...i meant to say.. Please tell me does C1 has speaker leakage problem during the calls like 1202 and 1203??? or it has been eliminated to some extent?? thanks in advance!!!

  • What is this.were is dual sim running?

  • Thank you folks for guiding us

  • its only dual sim phone but both sim are not working at a time

  • brothers nokia has already made money from the dual sim that u guys said is bad.......forget,,,,one man food is another man's posoin.......am using nokia e71 nokia phones are gud ???? I don't need the nokia c1-00 because it was not made 4 me,i knew of many persons that has that fone that are very happy,nt that that it was made 4 them but they just like the fone cos it is cheap.....is good for us to ve a chioce and stop making stupid noise.if it is easy go and make ur own fone and see if somebody will buy....

  • I purchased this set yesterday.It is slim light and easy use set.dual sim is a useless function

  • if you are looking for dual sim/dual standby phones, look at the samsung ones. i have been using a samsung c3212 since january and it is great!

  • This phone is now readily available here in Philippines and it cost only Php1,980. They also have promo for Buy 1 Get 1 for Php3,640. Very cheap mobile phone. The target users of this phone is those who love texting and calling only including listening to FM Radio. The only convenience of this phone is you don't need to turn off the phone when you are inserting another SIM. Don't blame NOKIA because this only their stepping-stone in creating dual sims handset and more phones to come. But I want to Nokia C2-00, I am waiting for it!!!

  • Dear indians , nokia C1 is not a dual sim phone ,nokia is mis guiding the public . Plz dear nokia , u hav good reputution in india , kindly dont loose it .

  • Having dual sim phone without dual standy? what the heck will i buy this phone? I rather have 2 phones then! Hello Nokia? what were you thinking??!?! Your sales is going down to the grave! Samsung rules!

  • Nokia Please try to make a better one......with some more features and long battery life

  • it not a dual sim phone,,,

  • Nokia was really left behind...

  • Samsung is still the best and really the Number 1!!!! They've already proved it!!!! Nokia, no way.... Nokia you are fooling yourself and the rest of the world!!!

  • Nokia.... boooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....... What are you doing hah?...... Going backwards.... je je je.....

  • nokia please do not make this type of mobiles

  • c1 is a failure mobile phone it is been advertised as dual sim but it is not

  • i ever heard nokia will also launch such type of dual sim ,after seeing so much of china models operation.....if it doesnt work both sim at at time then what is the reason to get dual sim in nokia .........well and good samsung is too good in dual sim but one thing i use nokia always but not dual

  • how change sim 1 to sim 2 and sms one time to sim one or sim two

  • can any one tel me about ring tone volume

  • man it hasent a very good battry life

  • Heyy thomas... This is a basic phone from nokia... Its cost is 1750INR. This phn does not have wifi or ny other internet features.... other then calling znd texting its main features include fm anfd its a dual sim.

  • Congratulations for Nokia the world leader in mobile phones to launch such a wonderful phone. Thanks for the latest technology they adopted for making this phone. We use this feature in 2000. Please wait all of us for Nokia to lauch such a wonderful, rediculas, poor technology phone. its better to use a non-branded phone.

  • this is an ordinary phone without wlan, etc

  • Does anyone know whther this phone has WI-FI and is it S40/S60 opeating systm. Thnks.

  • we expect duel stndby phone.this product is very disappointing one.

  • be careful of not only dual sim it should be an dual stand by.........

  • Can anyone pls tell that does it has volume leakage problem like nokia 1661, 1800 and similar models of this range.??

  • Nokia is releasing 3 other dual STANDBY phones.Go by one of them.This phones reception is very good.Check review of gsmarena.Here in india i can buy a second prepaid sim for 10 rupees in which i will get 40 rupees talktime.Now this phone will come handy in this situation.Gsmarena could not come with a real life situation where this phone will be useful.Now i have given them a real life situation.If i get a missed call or if my second sim to other persons sim is free then i will just press * and there will be an easy solution.

  • How can you be so ignorant of people living in poorer countries where dual SIMS are needed for different reasons, and where GSM 900/1800 is the only GSM frequencies there? You do realise it probably wasn't meant for you, so go enjoy your iPhone or whatever phone you are using.

  • C1.00 Model dualsim phone is unuseful because peoples like call waiting option.in this model better than china phone dualsim and camera bluetooth M card price rang Rs.1300 Nokia company compre with which company????????.......... regards jeeva Erode

  • This is not even a Quad band phone, and furthermore it is not S40, not S60 operating system, but some old Nokia OS. I think I will skip this.

  • how can u make a dual sim phone and its not QUAD BAND, whats the use? worst it doesnt have standby....a fail if u ask me. The Chinese phone market are putting out cheap phones which can pick up over the air TV, radio, quad band dual sim dual standby phones....y is it so difficult to get these features from those NAME BRAND companies

  • I was seriously haunting for a dual sim phone a couple of years back. I got on a site where practically people from all over the world were begging Nokia to make a dual sim phone. I got a samsung D980 and it worled so well. The flex of the touch screen went bad because it fell from my hand. I decided to sell it off. Now I want another one. I was told Nokia has announced a dual sim phone. I decided to buy it just to test it. Oh! what a horrible experience. Horrible!! Aside from the fact that it is no dual sim - it is no dual sim if the 2 sim are not on standby-, it's network reception is poor. In fact, for me, it is not worth paying a dime for. A friend bought would pass for a full blackberry set for next to nothing, china phone and the 2 sim works perfectly. Nokia, this is a failure. You have just lost a customer. I was going to buy HTC Touch pro 2 and a friend was suggesting I should consider the Nokia N900, but with this experience and having read online it's network reception is poor, for me it is bye bye to nokia. My love for you has drive away (forever?, time will tell)

  • How is it?

  • yes i agree with u

  • I used it, it is worth less phone. Now I decide to buy Samsung Guru 26 dual sim of Rs. 2000/- which has dual sim and dual standby.

  • ur i phne is beta than this...ofcourse it is u muppet...

  • Its definitely one worthless cellphone at its price

  • No dual standby. No dual standby!!!! What is this, a paperweight?

  • There are 4 new nokia 2 sim phones.C1-00 C1-01 C1-02 C2-00.

  • what?!!! no wi-fi? my i-phone is better than this.

  • a utter useless phone in dual sim class!!!!!!!!1

  • though it has only one sim standby, it is really, really inexpensive.

  • Love this phone from the first sight. Just accomodate my needs.

  • Very good fone. Nokia always make good fones.

  • simple dual sim phone. Its gonna be my next phone

  • What is the reason for Nokia to market this useless phone while Samsung has dual sim phones with dual stand by and great specifications?

  • dual sim but only one on standby! china brand phone should teach nokia how to make dual sim phone. nokia is going downhill. they can't even make a cheap dual sim phone. they are losing the smartphone market to samsung, htc, iphone and blackberry. while in the low end segment they are losing to the china brand phone.

  • dual sim phone but single stand by why?

  • Instead of C1-00 being based on 1616 Nokia should have based it on the hugely successfull 1100.

  • C1-00 will be a huge hit like the 1100.

  • i havent purchase the phone yet. but im planning to get it for my father who needs a phone for basic usage.( txting and calling ). i think this one is just perfect if you want a phone that doesnt have a lot of extra features. and its very affordable.

  • very very bad mobile in nokia

  • No dual standy?it's not worth being called dual sim.its only a sim phone + a sim pouch(redundant sim slot)

  • Yes,you'r right

  • It's no1 useless waste mobile in the world .

  • No.1 waste mobile C1 00

  • On C1 just press * to switch between sims.(put sim 1 on and divert sim 2 calls to sim 1)

  • plzs dont risk yourself by taking nokia dual sim mobile c1-00. its one of the worst phone from NOKIA. both the sims doesnt work at a time.

  • C1 is a idiot phone. C2 is ok.

  • Actully is it a dual sim...? No...its juz caryin 2sims..both sims dsnt work at same time...one work at one time..then switch off and on..then the sim2 works...but samsg hav the actual dual sim...bth works at same time... B4 buyin it..,is ur conspt abt the dual sim..

  • Idiots C2 is dual standby

  • u r wrong dear....actually it is the real dual standby, you must say that "no dual active"

  • its just great but only its not dual standby...

  • infact i was so disappointed in this nokia dual sim product even Nokia 3320 is more better than this. well try to improve your standard on the dual sim product, because people are waiting for the best of nokia in dual sim.

  • excellent phone, great features

  • first time lanch dual but not satified people

  • there is no battery backup in basic phone also.there is no worth by taking this phone..........................................p­lz dont go for this

  • Really disappointed with this NOKIA c1 Features.... No dual stand by .... utter waste ... samsung is the best in the dual sim mobiles .......

  • c2 have multimedia

  • does it has a voice leakage problem like nokia 1800, 1661, etc.. do reply

  • I was waiting for a dual SIM Dual standby NOKIA phone. Finally launched but what a garbage phone.

  • hi all, nokia has launched a great phone only for talk time not for dual sim,please think before buying.

  • bought this phone two days back and so far satisfied with it, battery only one bar gone and five bars left after 1 hr and 30 minutes of talk, its never switched off so far as i am checking the battery backup. call quality is very good and other side also getting my voice excellently. signal reception is also perfect so far, no problem.Switching the sims also very simple just holding the * key does the trick ,and it takes just a few seconds to switch on the other Sim. Ok it doesn't have dual sim facility but it never said its dual sim its a double sim mobile ,which carries two sims ,and thats written outside the box ,so don't cry saying that its not a dual sim etc, read before you buy and then complain.

  • I dont think Nokia make a stupid phone with this C1-00. Nokia already provide enough information about this phone. It is you the stupid one who bought this phone and complained after that. You have a very high expectation base on an known facts. So stop complaining. Buy something else that will meet your requirement ok.

  • great fone long time battery dual sim change in 5 second.i am very happy with it.clear voice. very good nokia. .

  • Set call divert from 1 SIM to the other, on both SIMs

  • stupid fone

  • It has Dual SIM but no dual standby, hence it is no use. Please think before buying it

  • I bought this mobile but I am not satisfied with the features

  • By the way, great phone for the stand-by time and talk-time it provides. Although no dual stand-by mode, the dual-sim is a nice feature to have, just that you really dont need to open the whole rear assembly, including battery to switch to another sim. What? Think of a normal phone with great talktime that can hold a sim more. How about that. Now stop complaining about Nokia not making the perfect phone, like having all the features you ask for, just assembling your personal computer. Stop dreaming of such a phone. Obviously NO company is gonna make it. Why should they have the others models if people can get the 'perfect phone'. Maybe, we can dream, that we can order our phone as per the 'configuration', and 'they' will make it.

  • "Why is nokia making such stupid phones...." If you need a phone with camera, there are plenty out there. Pick one. Don't complain on the low-end economic models that meets the needs of a lot others who really don't care about certain features like camera and bluetooth and so on. And who are 'pensioners'? They were people like you and me from the past and we'll just be people like them in the future. Respect people. But grow up before you grow old.

  • Im waiting for the mobile but it dont have multimedia features in less cost.. it would be better launching in multimedia

  • Im waiting for the mobile but it dont have multimedia features in less cost.. it would be better launching in multimedia

  • i think u r right

  • Am satisfied.but am not satisfied perfectly because am expected more features.but dis phone is ordinary only dual sim and one problem dis is not dual standby mode.u see the china mobile phones is given all features and no gaurantee.then i want u wl beat the china mobile.all over india only sale nokia.ok.bye

  • better we can keep one sim in the pocket and use this phone...!We didint epect this from nokia.!

  • I have bought this phone and thought dual sims wrok at the same time, to my surprise they do not!! It is not a good phone at all. I was expecting far better from Nokia, even if I have to pay extra.

  • i had bought this model ... last few day's am waiting eagerly... but this is not a such kind of mobile for my expectations i thought nokia will rock with dual sim but they can't rock these kind of model.be a nokia fan am not satisfied,there is no dual standby,we expect dual standby soon?

  • I am eger to buy nokia c 1 oo as early as possible.

  • The real great thing of all is stand by time It's superb!!

  • this is nokia's most worst product that i have ever seen... actually nokia cheating with the people by telling that it's a dual sim mobile,but it's actually not.

  • your absuletly right... and i accept it.... send your comments to nokia company.....

  • both sims will not work simultaneously you have to choose any one from them to work at a time, ohh this is not good. should work simultaneously...

  • dual sim but not dual standby. no use. launce dual sim dual standby mobiles with all specifications.like bluetooth , fm recording.

  • i have old 1112 white disply is a evergreen 4 indian vilege. i reqvest to nokia please re-lounch this model. nokia can breake high record of other model sale.

  • Nokia people are afraid of the competition that they are facing from other phone manufacturers.. i think nokia has already lost its place in the market... being a true nokia fan.. now thinking to go to samsung...

  • Its a chip product not like a name Nokia

  • No. I think that option is not available.

  • It is not a dual sim phone because any one sim we can use at a time. so this is not a dual sim phone actully.

  • People waited for Nokia dual sim for long time,mean while samsung has launched its beautiful dual sims,and these phone are really good n doing good.Ill prefer only samsung

  • if you can produce a better phone for less than 30 usd(-the price of nokia C1-00), then go ahead. you will become a rich man :D

  • This is not Dual SIM phone....Any one of the SIM's will only be active at time...youi need to select manually for the other So, this phone dont have any feature for dual SIM usage

  • plz confirm..... when the phone is on standby mode with sim1 active then the phone allow sim2 to get ring???

  • I am just stunned to see the specifications. What has happened to nokias IT Professionals? I think they wish to spoil nokias reliability by their foolish acts like no dual standby, no dual active, no gprs, no edge, no card slot etc etc. THEY SHOULD BE FIRED as soon as possible if nokia wish to save its image. We all love nokia and can not tolerate such experiments. If somebody is disagree with me, means he does not emotionally attached with nokia.

  • nokia is always the best.phone c1 also is good and whats the price when is getting the stock

  • 1152hours? 48 days? 1 1/2 months on standby? It is true??

  • To Nokia: I would love to have a simple phone positioned between the 1616/1800 and the 2690. Design: like 1616 simple,sturdy, big keys.(2690 keys not comfortable) Features: 1616(3.5mm jack, flash light) plus mp3 player, decent loud speaker, fm transmitter, bluetooth, card slot. priced at INR2200 would be ideal.

  • nokia is always the best.this phone is ok 4 me.

  • by intelligent settings you can attend calls from sim 2 when your sim no 1 is active for this make the following settings you activate call divert to a no in sim no 1 when you are busy or not reachable(to your no. in sin no 2) similarly activate to a no in sin no2 when you are busy or not reachable to a no in sin no 1

  • very touchy phone ,good! its the first time that nokia has launched a double sim mobile which i was looking for.No doubt battery timing is superb

  • yes this is available here in the philippines. this is around 1900php to 2190php

  • very very bad phone ya Nokia C1-00 is very worst phone ya? not dual standby, and not active in 2 sim in at time [email protected] (9940952699)

  • This phone is great because two sim use at a time by sim selection but not dual standby.Its battery back up verry good.

  • some operator's sim card not work properly. such as grameenphone, aktel, banglalink, teletalk work but waridtel not work when switch to warid sim card. customer care manager of warid said that its limitation of device, because their sim is very much updated. Shishir Dhaka, Bangladesh 008801911940074

  • Really from specification the phone is totally sounds hitch. Apart In Indian Market all DUAL SIM Phones are Dual Standby and this one from Nokia is a Single Standby. Don�t know why this big brand is experimenting the childish things for big guys.

  • You nitwit, this is something for military personnel like me who cannot use a camera phone in camp!

  • How about battery of C1-00? if i buy it in Cambodia, where does product make?

  • Hello!! I want to know about C1-00 whether it's have any special?

  • Is it original Nokia? I just searched Nokia website but only C1-01 and C1-02 are available. There is not any C1-00. Plz let us know

  • Why is nokia making such stupid phones these days,sumting wid no camera,wich person is going 2 use a phn wid no camera,dis phn is 4 PENSIONERS

  • Have you hear of C2?? If not simple "Nokia dual sim" keywords search in google will open you eyes ... hopefully.

  • mine is made in india but you should all note that its not dual stand by, ie you can not use both sims in the same time

  • Yes it has the option to screen unwanted msgs.

  • quite non sense..no dual stand by activity. better china phones.

  • Guyz help me. Does this phone has number screening (blacklisting) for unwanted calls and text spam?

  • it will be a great phone, if nokia will come out with a bar type dual sim phone (dual active standby) that features a 5 mega pixel or more, 2000 entries in phonebook, expandable memory up to 32 gigabyte with micro sd card, number screening for unwanted messaging and calls, series 30 or 40 operating system (because these series have a larger font size that are readable), calendar, and alarm. the shape, and appearance that will looks like the nokia e52 or nokia 6700. if this happen, this kind of phone will be selling like a hotcake in the philippines and other countries. guys do you agree?

  • Very very bad mobile guy plz dnt by this phone bcoz this phone u cant call from sim 2 go for samsung guru 2152 thats better mobile

  • i think the only missing in this phone is the dual standby of both sim of this phone.. i bought it yesterday i thought this phone is dual standby then when i turn it on it like only nokia 1616

  • Does It Mean That two sims can be active at the same time

  • stop guys to saying nokia c1 is bad!!!its too good just see its price im in pakistan and price is only 3,000 rs.so what u want in this price ???hannnn???? in this price what u want u want 5 mega pixel camera?touch? ohhh shut up guys dont waste ur time here go other company.ok?in this price nokia c1 is damn good i have nokia e72 but i mostly like my nokia c1.its so easy so nice and see seee seeee its standby time.if u dont like so go away and stop saying bad comments!!nokia is the bestest cell company in world.if u dont like so go i.d.i.o.t samsung,and b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t lg.hah u guys really wrost.!!!in this price im toooo satisfied with my nokia c1.its nice and go away if u dont like this.

  • It looks alot like the Nokia 1616.

  • Please is it that Nokia can not produce a dual sim phone that will make both SIM active or what? Thank you.

  • did you see the STAND-BY TIME AND TALK TIME? wow this is a real usefull and budget phone

  • well.... if it comes wid 2 sims active at a tym den its dam gud... n am sure vl go for dis. hope so nokia upgrades it wid 2.

  • good but basic features; switchable dual sim is totally pointless

  • I have bought Nokia C1-00 as my extra standby set last week. Bought it from Singapore Plaza Rawalpindi Pakistan for 3200 RS. Its colour is blue. Its a good phone for its price. Build quality is good. The battery timing is awesome. I charged it when I bought it and used it a lot for 6 days(Texting and flash light use)and still 3 bars are remaining. Its not a dual SIM, its a double SIM set. Means that only one SIM will be ON at a time. It absolutely serves my purpose. Pressing asterisk button switches the SIM and it takes very less time in switching.

  • i guess its called nokia 1616 in india and its proce is 1400 when i purchased it 1 month back..but definitely the phone sucks coz its very slow and reboots very often..!!

  • its beautiful mobile available in Lahore.

  • Who can say this dual sim phone? Only one sim can use at atime any body can say this is a dual sim mobile?no use.

  • it's a cheapest reliable technology from nokia which is a dual sim.

  • Am so very disappoint about this particular product. It is the worst from nokia. This phone is just like carry one phone. China phone is better than this product. Pls improve on this.

  • Hey is this phone launched in Delhi ? or anywhere in India ? Plz reply

  • hi there. can someone tell me what is the real world battery life for this model, with moderate usage( 10 min. calls pers day + 3 minutes of flashlight) ? + does it have the sound leakage problem?

  • hi/ would mind ,posting a short video of this nokia, please. as to me it looks cheap and nice as a second phone with basic useful goodies...peace

  • Battry is too much good I'll take this if its range is 1600/-

  • You are right Dear without mmc 3.5mm jack is useless But I Still Love Nokia I'll wait 4 something new

  • You are right Dear without mmc 3.5mm jack is useless

  • its for the good and much clear sound you.. faGGS!

  • 3.5 mm jack can be used to listen fm radio with headphone or amplified speaker.

  • when i first this phone,i thought samsung and LG are in trouble bt buying it was the worst av bought in my life.the is useless.the dual is nt standby,even u call the se

  • I don't know what is 3.5mm jack when this phone has not internal memory or memory card.

  • this phone is for those who are engaged in retail credit loading esp. in the philippines. the convenience of lugging a single phone instead of two is very much appreciated. it's a better alternative to the ubiquitous china made phones of poor quality and after-sales service. i can't understand why there are violent reactions in this page, if they don't like it it's fine. they should find something which satisfies their fantasy.

  • good battery life

  • Its very good to see Nokia with dual sim,astoninshing long battery life. Now we can beat chinese,samsung,any other mobiles

  • useless Dual Sim Phone!!! u can active either one at time.. old technology used in this phone!!!!!

  • I saw this phone yesterday...its launched in pakistan,cost is Rs.3200...but i must say such a crap fone by nokia. Its not dual standby,everytime u have to switch to different network.

  • Very Basic Phone ; Model of 1980s.In Late 2000s with Dual SIM, It's childish idea type cell in the market. whether Nokia dare to release this cell in Europian / US markets ? Whose Marketing Idea Is this ?

  • Its available in Pakistan for Rs 3200 (39 USD). Boths SIMs are not active, You have to select the SIM you want to use. Very Bad. Its like the SIM Card Jacket, a cheap method to use 2 SIMs in one phone. Shame on Nokia. Motorolla and Samsung RULE.

  • it's happy to see that nokia will provide dual sim.

  • Good Phone!! Gr8 btry lyf.... i like this one..... and also samsung e2370xcover and e1160 are also good phones.......

  • no dual standby!!!!!!!!!! bad idea of nokia....there are a lots of phones having dual sim & dual standby price ranging from 1000 rs to 1500 rs but this phone will cost u around 2000 rs in india shame on nokia guys

  • at last nokia give us a sim reader....isn't it ppl?

  • It would have being better if Nokia did not come out with this phone. Dual phone that counlt not receive except yu switched. Bad phone.

  • Hey guys Nokia C3, X2, C1 & C2 Going to launch first week of September i just read one article from Unwiredview website.

  • Not being a Dual on standby made this phone a complete error. A major error from nokia.

  • does this model has voice leakage problem too like nokia 1661, 1662, 1800 and 1616??? kindly reply

  • hate this phone bec its not dual standby

  • It would be good if it had dual standby

  • long waited... available in sri lanka for just usd 50.00.... but useless phone!!. at last nokia failed to provide latest features.

  • Phone is already released in Pakistan. Sale on 3100 PKR (38 USD)

  • at last its now available in philippines... but i want nokia c2-00

  • this phone is looking good ... am waiting for the realese of this phone should have to try this phone..... its nothing but 1616.... its the same model but it is dual sim thats all nothing different..

  • that phone have no any advantage, just like nokia 1661, 3150, 2600. nokia nothing do different

  • In this era, dual sim should mean dual standby, else its only a facility to hold 2 sims, nothing more than that... So still Nokia cant boast of a dual sim mobile.... Once again.... Nokia SUCKS...

  • This phone is good for chatting only(Calls) otherwise issn,t good for youth or the feauter. anyway good work. keep it up.

  • this phone is like a vangari phone. No dual stand by, ishhh

  • it's so inferior, it's not wat i expected from Nokia.

  • Please correct your post, The C1 is now released. It's on my hand. 3100 PKR (Pakistani rupees)

  • We have used duel sim device with Nokia phone before 5 years ago. This phone in not capable to standby both SIM at a time. SSHHSSHSHSHSH......

  • I support kaliprasanna in this matter.NOKIA,the bigest and rich technology based company down by china companies.It is very very insult to NOKIA.

  • It has no facility of dual standby.Atleast this facility should be in this phone.I aspect more adventages from nokia.

  • excellent , verygood, wonderful perforamance,elakiri,superb,

  • I hate This Quality

  • u can get calls to sim2 also while ur on sim1 u can keep calldivert on it once ur busy on sim1 the call will be diverted from sim2.

  • This is not actual dual sim phone. Only one SIM is connected. You have to select a SIM.

  • This phone is of so low quqlity. there is no camera, dual sim standby option etc. ar least it must contain standby mode. shshshhhh!!

  • fathima your opinion is good.i support to you

  • this is phone is bad phone

  • compare it with chinese phone?i don't think so.it's useless phone.chinese phone,has a lot from this phone,from gprs to wifi,dual sim also.

  • its not a good cell by Nokia coz we cant use dual sim at a time. in Dual sim just 1 brand available in world that is Samsung its best in Dual sim. we can handle our problems after taking Samsung Dual sim. In samsung dual sim cell both sims work toghter.

  • both sims are active at the same time or only talk on one sim

  • No...U cant use 2 sim in one time....worst type of thinking by nokia...

  • This is far below expectaations. Nokia the original design owner cannot claim to find it difficult to produce a real dual SIM phone. Chinese imitations are far better than this. It is too basic for my money.

  • Can I receive a call on 2 sims inserted in a nokia c1 or I have to keep switching from one network to the other before I receive my call ......in a nutshell, is it like that of those china phones that u can be reachable on both sims at a time

  • all this time we wait from Nokia Dual sim ! u cant say that C1 dual sim its only 1616

  • how use dual sim with out dual standby?

  • i dont thinkso the phone is to good bt the battrybckup are good

  • Very poor...

  • why not?Dual Sim Standby.

  • but i m not happy bcoz in this set we can use only one sim at a time ,by selection ,

  • Dual SIM but can not be used both sim at the same time. Have to select SIM 1 or SIM 2

  • 1700 rs only by last week of august it will be on the market.....

  • m happy dat NOKIA has taken step about duel sim.

  • can GSMARENA make a review of this?XD

  • it s 1616

  • Third Class Cell Phone this is no dual standby C-1 Is fail cellphone no feuture this is a basic cellphone

  • How it will work?

  • Check the batteries: Stand-by Up to 1152 h Vs Stand-by Up to 396 h it really matters for many users

  • Wow, 1152 hours of battery life. Probably the highest hours in standby-phone.

  • its not good look

  • can it show waiting when one sim is used in calling and coll comes on other.

  • any one who buy this phone plz gv me ur views abt it coz it is new one n most of people dnt nkw dat is it gud or bad............?so plz plz rply truly

  • yup faST one but not comfortable ..juST dual SimS at time same as samsung but no more thing ...rather boguS!

  • can't believed it this phone was designed by nokia. why made this one if got the better like C2-00?

  • i will not buy this i promise even if u dash it to me

  • Is it Siemens???

  • too bad it can not support 2 sim card at same time . at china is hard to get 2 sim card phones that does not have camera and memory card. Most factory is not allowing camera and memory card support phone to be carry in to factory . Can you imaging how big the market will be if there is mid/ high end phone that have internal memory , big screen , no camera and no cmemory card . I think that is a market for that ..hope to see a better phone that does not have camera & memory card

  • who got this one?? the standby time is great. is it real?

  • fine

  • good phone to compete with the chinese phones

  • Sure guys, the C1-00 is not a dual-sim stand-by phone ... it is not meant to be. Nokia has another model, the C2-00; this is the one meant to have dual stand-by. If you need the dual stand-by, don't criticize this, just pick the C2-00 when it is released! Nokia has YOU in mind too.

  • dual sim very good

  • a long awaited one, but little bit disappointed, because it does not suuport dual standby. We can rather call it a Dual Sim Holder which can be utilised when required

  • the new nokia c100 coming soon i realy like it but some problemz... The dual sim is not a standby and its style is old

  • Hi good for mobil

  • ineed this mobil naw

  • ineed this mobil naw

  • ineed this mobil naw

  • good mobil for 2 sim

  • good mobil for 2 sim

  • How much will it cost me if I will buy this unit?

  • it can use only 1 sim at a time. long press * key is the short cut to swap active sim. ...

  • C1-00 Same Look Is Nokia 1616. This look Also Old Fast U Fast Chang C1-00 look & Chang Specification Be Cose Chaina Loot A Boot Gsm Mobile Best specificaion In low Price U r Hand Set specificaion Is Not Good This specificaion Soo Soo Pooooor & This Hand Set is Lunching Price Only Rs.1500/=PKR.

  • is hot swappable = dual active? or is it dual active sim phone that can receive call or text on the 2 sim cards?

  • c1 00 same 1616 model i am very happy duile set nokia.

  • The Nokia C2 does that, 2 active SIMs, one of them is even hot swappable.

  • now what would be cool is if you could receive and send sms/calls at the same time through both sim cards without needing to reboot to switch the sim in use

  • ya

  • the design is the same of nokia 1616, but this one is dual sim.

  • Will i be able to receive calls n sms from both sims?

  • it may be having the same problem of network fluctuation as like 1661,1662

  • hy, this is not better than 1661. its keypad is too much bad.no new tones and loud speaker has noy such a good voice.

  • The C2 is the one that has both sims active.

  • its no dual standby u hv to switching both

  • it says no dual stand by which means user has to switch between sims also if you c da pic u can easily realiz the fact. I'll definitely like to purchase this set but nokia needs to understand dat users r going to need dual stand by.

  • The best is if the dual sim card can run on both on primary and secondary ... better

  • Hi, my concern & question is that,,both sim will be activate at atime or i have to switch on sim1 or sim2 one by one . I thing nokia should mention these things in their specification.

  • Switching between SIMs is a bad option. Both SIMs should run same time

  • if you want SMS, go for Nokia C2-00. I have the nokia 1616 which looks like this one, and the keypad is very bad for sms. or should i say the keypad were optimize for durability... :)

  • Oh c'mon, are you kidding me? I mean bl-5c li-ion battery has that great quality of battery life? lyers!!!...

  • but we need dual standby mode....

  • Me too. Same keypad, same design, same display but with a better battery and 2 sim-holders.

  • looks like 1616...

  • finally! nokia did it again! good move! while other company is busy with touch mobile... nokia did it on a different way! i cant carry 2 mobile all the times..

  • Hi' Good news nokia lunch dual sim c1 basic phone with fm.so finally nokia made dual sim phone world's no...1 company still working great...mayur from dhegam.

  • I think nokia c1 will broke nokia 1100 records

  • You're right but my calls per day are less than 5 minutes. SMS is my main usage, and normally i send/receive 20 sms per day at maximum. I'm interested in C1-00 because, i don't like charging battery more than once a week and actually i charge my 6288 almost every 2 days. Sorry about my bad English!

  • its depends 2 u that how u use ur mbl. listening fm (if any),calling up to 1 hours/day, sending sms etc will make battery so weaker and it will hardly goes 2 maximum 3 to 4 days. d btry standby will b checked in superior conditions. ok

  • its not nokia's work 2 build dual sim handsets becoz nokia is achieving their goals by making professional handsets like c5,n97,n900 etc and dual sims in nokia r only optional.

  • C2-00 has dual sim, dual standby but only with 396hr standby time. C1-00 has dual sim, single standby with 1152hr standby time. There's certainly a trade off between standby time and dual standby feature.

  • If you want dual standby, then get the C2-00 instead

  • Xactly? :O

  • Dual SIM (no dual standby) ?!!? it's mean, only 1 sim active ?

  • if the first sim card used is the other one will be off whene some one call? that mean if im using the first sim card and some one call me through the othe one what is going to be (busy or waiting or off)?

  • If the dual-sim was been hotswappable like C1-00, the battery wouldn't be so fantastic.

  • Hi, I thing the main draw back is it dosent have dual standby, it's good to see nokia wt dual sim models but i think it is not like a samsung C3212 bcoz it is a bit confusion those who seperate there mobiles for personal & official.

  • If its battery is going to last 2/3 weeks with some SMS and one or another 1/2 call per day, i will be interested in this terminal and will forget extras.

  • i wonder what's the 3.5mm jack doing in this phone,.. hmm. nevermind. :))

  • i cannot belief this 1152 hours standby time?there must be some typing mistake.not possible using 1020 mAh battery.

  • nokia has beaten samsung E2370 handset with higher battery back up time.samsung had 2000mAh battery with 1040 hours of standby time where has this nokia model has 1152 hours standby time using just 1020mAh battery. I will among the first to buy this handset when it releases in india and i will buy two of them. nokia please realease this in india NOW!!

  • wow. less than 2000 pesos. it's not a dual standby sim. you have to switch the sim by pressing, i think, the asterisk key. like what is in the picture. it will be a great simple phone.

  • nop, is 1616

  • it is the same as nokia 1616

  • This is gonna BREAK and SHAKE the markets.. Nokia should launch it first in Indian markets, where cheap quality mobiles are selling high, just because they've got dual sim slots.

  • It is lock like china mobile

  • it kinda reminded me of the old nokia 2600...

  • wowzzz... about 13 hours of talk time, dual sim cards..

  • gr8 talk time nd one thing nokia should add in there next model with dual sim, is call & msg blocking option with unlimited inputs OR simply make a symbian 12hr talk time dual sim,,,,,,,,,

  • the rumour about Nokia C1 is already around for about two months. how can gsm arena missed this?

  • nokia c1 + a digicam + an mp3 player = better than having a high-end cp. =) since i already have a laptop and a psp!

  • time talk 13 hours ??? if this sure plz any one give more information

  • im from phils and im surely gonna wait for this phone to come out! you know guys, as a student and a gadget geek, ive always wanted a very good phone like those high-end ones with high res cam, huge memory, and best audio. but when i saw this thing, i know that il be gettin a unit asap! the best of its battery life plus nokia has the most user friendly u.intrface despite of some complex operating system!

  • Android, Meego or Symbian, it's up to Nokia. But I believe whatever OS they'll use together with the specifications you've mentioned, it will be surely the most powerful mobile phone Nokia had produced. & it will be a reality within next year. By that time, Nokia will be able to produced a cameraphone hovering somewhere between 15MP - 20MP with variable aperture, 28mm wide sensor & xenon flash with video light..

  • Any OS is not a problem, as long as Nokia will be able to produce specifications mentioned earlier, they'll gonna make it to the top...

  • For your information, All the '9' as in N9, X9, C9, E9 were reserved for Meego. Symbian^3/Symbian^4 is only up to '8' as in N8, C8, E8, X8. No Android, as android is not better than Meego/Symbian.

  • Not to mention maximum standby period of your Nokia N9 at least 1 month, with 60hrs of music playing at loudspeaker mode, 24hrs of talk-time, 20hrs of wifi/internet surfing & last, 15hrs of video streaming...

  • If I were Nokia, I'll make the next Nseries phone a dual-sim unit. Who know? It will gonna make it to the top just like Nokia N95 when it was first introduced more than 3yrs. ago & still got respect from everyone until now. For example: Nokia N9 - Dual sim unit - capacitive touchscreen - 480 x 800 4" Super AMOLED display - atleast 800mhz CPU - Android or Symbian^4 OS - 64GB on-board memory w/ microSD support to to 32GB - atleast 1800mah battery power - 12MP, 28mm wide angle Camera w/ Xenon Flash - material same as Nokia N8 It will be a new N95 in the making if Nokia will make this phone. Go, Nokia!! I know you can make this phone not now, maybe in the coming years. We'll wait for Nokia N98 or N9..

  • Here comes the china mobile phone killer!! Go, Nokia!! We'll wait for higher-end dual sim units from you..

  • Rare Specification: - dual sim unit - Nokia C-series phone - 3.5mm jack - flashlight - max. standy by time clock to almost 1 & half month - only 30Euro or Php1,900.00 What you're looking for?? Nokia rock!! First step to make more dual sim units.. Nokia, pls make more dual sim units ranging from low-end to high-end mobile phones. This will have untouchable lead in mobile phone industry..

  • looks like Nokia 1616

  • For those who want higher end unit, do not post your message here... Nokia rock... How thoughtful Nokia to make units w/ rare specifications that can afford to buy... Rare specifications made for the masses... Keep up your good works, Nokia... We'll stay connected...

  • If you're looking for wi-fi, 12mp Camera & touchscreen, then you're in the wrong unit to post message...

  • Finally, a dual sim cellphone from a major phone maker... Excited to grab one of these unit later this year.. Will be available for almost Php 2,000.00 Way cheaper than crap china phones..

  • what???? no wi-fi??? no 12 mp camera??? no touchscreen???

  • Nokia C1-00 Standy by time = 1.5 month Dual sim unit colored display w/ 3.5mm headphone jack Awesome cellphhone. Nokia rock...

  • You lack any trace of brain severely. This phone is meant to be cheap, in the very low market position, and Dual-SiM. And probably 10 times cheaper than the samsung you are talking about. If you want 8 Mp and any other gadgets, look at different versions of Nokia. but remember, some people just need a cheap phone and only use it for voice and for text messages. Now K thanks and bye, please eject yourself from this topic and preferably from this planet.

  • (( LG GX200 Smart VS Nokia C1-00 Baby Doll ))

  • very good battrey life

  • Whtz dis nokia????? plz invent mobiles like samsung s8300 tocco it hv all da features fm,oled,8mp camera,touch screen+keypad i love samsung s8300 tocco

  • I was really suprised when i look at 1100h in standby hour, extremelly long than any phone i ever met. It also have fm radio, color screen and ... dual sim. although sim 2 can't run in standby mode but most of us use sim 2 just to make a call to another person, so it can be acceptable. Very good phone from Nokia.

  • Dual Sim and with this price. I am sold. I don't need a fancy phone but a phone can call/sms also have a long standby time.:)

  • these nokia dual sim phones will kill chinese market ,,i hate china mobiles, great work nokia

  • Oh this is good as its a dual SIM!

  • watz diz ?? a joke ??

  • At last dual sim from Nokia.

  • oh , today we have 3 more C serie phone from Nokia C1-00 : 30 EUR , Dual sim , S30 OS , No Camera C1-02 : 35 EUR , , S40 OS , No Camera C1-01 : 39 EUR , , S40 OS , VGA Camera C2-00 : 45 EUR , Dual sim , S40 OS , VGA Camera , GPRS

  • This is a new start for Nokia in developing markets like India where everything is captured by chienese products and cheap dual SIM fake chienese imitations of original branded phones, they are everywhere. Nokia's market share in India has fallen from 63% to 58% during last single quarter because of those cheap dual SIM chienese debranded phones. These two phones, C1 and C2 should bring things to normal.

  • oh no , just 30 EUR for this one , amazing

  • finally nokia made us adual-sim device it is agreat thing but i hope it is just abiggining of ahigh quality good feachers devices from nokia

  • there is another two

  • Oh, dual SIM! Should be targeting Indian market. Price I expect around 20 USD or 1000 Rs (yeah only!). Nokia does produce very cheap phones too.

  • awsom!!! release more dual sim phones nokia!!!

  • This could seriously dent the Chinaphone market base in Malaysia with its dual SIM option. I can see good use for it as a basic phone for the road support personals who usually carry two phones, one personal SIM and another for company line. Looks sturdy too.

  • First dual sim phone from nokia!!!! cool!!!! Definitely will buy one!!!!!

  • Wow, awesome stand by time!
