Nokia C3 goes on sale today at Php1,000 off!

Nokia Philippines yesterday announced that the new Nokia C3 will be officially available nationwide on August 1 but added that they are doing a 1-day sale today (Saturday, July 31).

The Nokia C3 is the Finnish handset manufacturer’s cheapest full QWERTY phone with a suggested retail price of Php7,295.

However, Nokia Philippines is putting out a sale with a Php1,000 discount on the handset when you buy it today (and today only). Nokia Stores should be selling them for Php6,295. The purchase also includes a free 2GB microSD card and a 1-week free Smart internet (also applicable on other newly-bought Nokia handsets).

Was thinking of doing rounds in mall stores just to see if there are huge lines like what happened in Indonesia when it was launched there. Early reports from today indicate that the units have been selling fast though. Read first impressions of the Nokia C3 here.

Anybody out there bought one of these today?

lined up in a Nokia store at 10am, i was already the 10th person in queue. only one unit is allowable for purchase per person. definitely the best valued wi-fi Nokia phone yet! web browsing is pretty decent, much better than Samsung Corby and any other entry-level wi-fi capable phones.

It would be better if its OS is Symbian instead of S40.

I checked it out but held off. It looks really plasticky, more than I expected, and might break with rugged use. Same with the C5.

i just bought nokia c3 in MOA around 2pm and guess what most of the stores that i ask for this unit is sold out. but lucky i found one store which they still have the unit. so far i am really loving this phone..

my question is. when i open the box i just have a charger and headset. i am wondering where the hell is the usb cable? for those who bought this unit do you have the usb cable when you open the box or maybe the sale person forget to add or misplace the usb cable.

Nokia C3 didn’t come with a USB Cable.

i have trouble with the Ovi Store, it’s hard to get in. i use the built-in browser instead. dont see much interesting apps, for some reason.
