Come on nokia ! we want some dual core tegra phones !
No we don’t. This is an entry level basic phones. It is not meant to be a smartphone. It does what it was designed to do very well. It also probably costs 1/10th the price of a Tegra2 phone.
just dont think that higer ram and cpu will result in best performance we have seen lagging in htc hd,galaxy and benchmark result which even at 680mhz n8 beat these phones by 75%.its all about how synchronise os with hardware and i believe only nokia know how to do that.
Dual core phones will be release in nokia world in september.
For ur information nokia has used dual cpu in n95,n95 8gb,n82 and e90.just go to forum.nokia.com and then click device and smartphones .
Is it possible to get wifi-tethering in this C3-01 model? If so, how? Thanks in Advance.
Has anyone else had difficulty removing the back cover of their C3-01? I’ve just received (via amazon.com) an unlocked C3-01, and despite following your excellent youtube unboxing video, and the manual instructions, cannot get the bloody back cover off!
After an hour and a half of futile googling, spraining my thumb and cursing Nokia for making such a stupid phone. I put a pair of rubber gloves on for extra friction and that did the trick.
Very glad to find hubby and I weren’t the only ones struggling with this – what a rubbish phone. I ended up using a tiny key – the sort that comes with cheap suitcases, small padlocks, little girls’ lockable diaries. On the top there is a tiny gap next to the headphone jack. I used the key to prise the back off. Not the best way but it worked. Well done Nokia!! My last Nokia phone was also a nightmare for getting the back cover off – used to drop it on the floor to make it happen.
The rubber glove trick worked a treat, thanks – top tip!
The rubber glove worked! My sanity is intact tanks to this website. Why can’t they include that in the instruction manual? Better still, why not have a phone that opens easily? Small wonder Nokia are losing ground to their rivals.
Grrrr, i should have waited for the C3-01, i got the C3-00 with the crappy Qwerty interface.
Would be a good marketing strategy to give away free rubber gloves with the Nokia C3-01. Bizarre, but absolutely true!!! 30 minutes of swearing resolved in 10 secs wearing rubber gloves!!!!
Well done Sarah for suggestion!!!!!!!!!!!
