If you are currently uncertain determine QWERTY mobile phones, WiFi and a decent cheap buy, maybe you can wait this Nokia C3. Beside rich advanced features, Nokia’s brand could be a consideration. But is it worth waiting for?

When a few days ago I wrote about cheap QWERTY WiFi Mobile Phone , a friend who gave comments to wait for Nokia C3. I actually know in advance of the mailing list. And I checked it is correct. Just going out around the end of quarter 2 (Q2).

But the friend was informed that the phone is already visible in Roxy. Roxy is the largest mobile phone sales in Jakarta or Indonesia. Although I doubt the veracity of this, this phone deserves scrutiny.

In addition to the QWERTY keypad a certain model, already equipped with WiFi features. And for this affordable price, around 1.1 million (exchange rates announced by Nokia). Though phones like this usually is a local brand/China. And indeed in that article, I wrote 10, all in local/China brand mobile phone. More details can read the article this 10 Cheap WiFi QWERTY phone (Less than million).

In addition to facilities, there are features of messaging, chat and even push email. This feature is claimed to not fail with Blackberry mobile phones. So cheap, it’s really worth to own.

Does this type, Nokia can shine again? Because since the existence of a local/China phone, Nokia is pressed. Due to the QWERTY model and the price is cheap, the people of Indonesia welcomed with enthusiasm. Maybe now Nokia will win its market that had been taken by them. There’s even hope to be popular models, such as type 5510 or 8310.

Several years ago, Nokia launched a phone with advanced features, cover a replaceable but cheap. He was the 5510. Indonesian people welcome it, and make this phone sold well, so many who have it. So that was named as the a million people’ mobile phone.

Is Nokia C3 will wind up like that? It is time we wait…
