Nokia C1-01

I bought this as second phone as my BB got corrupted:

1. UI response is too slow for a sane person. You have to wait for 'seconds' before it starts showing contacts. Even older generation phones respond faster. If I had used this phone for 5 minutes before ordering it, I would have never ever bought it

2. SMS editor is absolutely pathetic. I have stopped sending SMS's altogether for the fear of agonizing experience you have to endure to type few numbers in it. I have tried tweaking the settings/options but to no effect. May be there is something that can be done with settings, but if a co... (Expand)

I've bought it before 6 months @Rs. 2700 when it's in market for first time & using till now. This device is really satisfying in case of value for money. The gray one is more cool than the white one (i've). The short-cut feature is amazing; u can place 3 different size of transparent menu bar in the front display screan area with many shortcuts. I use to keep the time & date at the top; email, chat, gallary, browser, at the middle; & music player, radio at the bottom shortcut bar! Coz that looks prettier & gives u easy access to browse ur C1.
But, for amature users it's qui... (Expand)

Really a heck of a device. If you think its bad, IT IS NOT BAD AT ALL. Its got features you would want in some of its competitors at the same price range but you won't ever get that elsewhere. The first thing mentionable is the Series 40 OS by Nokia which by no means needs any introduction. If you've ever used one of THE NOKIA's then you might understand what I'm talking about. It has a nice looking outer body with soft touch feel on the battery cover but plastic by no doubt, 1.8 inch screen, a 0.3mp camera GPRS, FM Radio with recording expandable memory up to 32GB, 1020mAh battery, a dece...

After long research on internet and flipkart, I bought this phone for my mother. She was using old nokia phone, So did't want to confuse her with other brand (wanted to reduce learning curve).

Bought the phone on 28-March-2012, From the day two, I have visited nokia service centre many times to correct the signal drop and "no sim card error", it works for few hours and again the same. Now, I am fighting for replacement or other model. (I didn't buy it from flipkart, I should have bought it flipkart, errr.., flipkart is very friendly, they would have accepted to return my money)...

After my Nokia XPress Music stopped working (seawater had entered the system at the beach). I decided to go in for a simple, no frills Nokia C1-01.. This was my 3rd Nokia phone and my expectation was it would be a strong phone, with lesser OS/Firmware issues than Nokia XPress!

Less than a year after buying the phone I have started experiencing these problems:
1. Many messages have turned blank! So text is visible, and when I try to delete them the phone restarts.
2. After trying a soft-reset with no success I am now struggling to backup all the contacts before trying the hard reset that mi... (Expand)
