New low-cost messaging phones &#8211; Nokia C3, C6 and E5

New low-cost messaging phones – Nokia C3, C6 and E5

Following Nokia C5, which we covered a few weeks ago on the blog, the giant mobile manufacturer comes back with 3 new mobiles that have the same style and concept as the first one: Simple, Social, Affordable.

The three new phones focus on maintaining social connections with a low price point. C3, C6 and E5 are each equipped with a full QWERTY keyboard which will enable the users to email and chat faster than on any other S40 device. Also all the devices have the ability to support up to ten email accounts and download thousands of applications from Nokia’s Ovi store. The new mobiles are designed to fit the needs of the growing economies and to raise Ovi’s download rate from 1.6 Million apps per day to point where it can compete with the App Store.

Below you can see the specs of each mobile and the presentation clip:

Nokia is killing the blackberry ,

I was wondering why in C6 and E5 there were a word “for FREE chating…. “, but in C3, there were no “FREE”, only “for chat and file sharing”???

I know that C3 is not symbian! but i don’t know the difference as I don’t have S40 device. In fact I don’t know if Nimbuzz for iphone is different as the one for blackbery or for nokia or for generic java phone. please enlighten me. or maybe nimbuzz need to create a matrix comparison table for this.

as the word “killing blackbery”. I think it’s not really appropriate. because in year 2009 Nokia E72 alone sell more than all type of blackbery combined together. FYI, nokia sold around 160 million E+N series, where’s blackbery only sold around 30 million beries.

What appropriate is the word “chalanging samsung”, as samsung sold more qwerty based phone corby than blackbery.

What the different between
a) for chat and file sharing (C3)
b) for free calling, chating and file sharing (E5)

If I used C3 and connected the internet through wifi, can I call(free) people on my MSN or Skype contact list?

Jom October 10th, 2010
@Jom
The Nokia C3 uses a Java version of Nimbuzz which does not include the calling feature, so receiving or placing calls won’t be possible.

queralt escrich October 11th, 2010
my phone nokia E5 is supposed to be compatible with free calls but there are no instructions on how to do this. i have downloaded Nimbuzz 3 times and none of the downloads match the pretty little web images I’m supposed to get from the home page.
I am also experiencing messages I receive disappearing before I get a chance to read them and messages I send disappear before the next message I receive appears. It is terribly frustrating!!

I have problems installing nimbuzz on my nokia E5.00. Certificate erro or expired certificate, invalid date and/or incorrect date.

I have back dated my phone to 2010 yet same problem still arises. I also checked my application setting to see if it was only sign, thus, making sure “All” is selected, the “Online checking” is turned off yet same problem. Please what will I do to get it (nimbuzz) installed on nokia e5.00?

kaycii July 8th, 2011
@kaycii
On your phone go to MENU- TOOLS – APPLICATION MANAGER. Check your setting by going to OPTIONS – SETTINGS and your will see Software Certification, set this to ALL if it isn’t already set. And if you also see the option ONLINE CERT CHECK set it to off.
Now make sure your phone date is correct. As the latest Nimbuzz was released about 2-3 weeks ago if your phone date is earlier then 3weeks ago you will get a certification error telling you to check your phone date or something like that.
So just be sure your phone date is correct and that you downloaded the most recent version of Nimbuzz.

Now make sure your phone date is correct. As the latest Nimbuzz was released about 2-3 weeks ago if your phone date is earlier then 3weeks ago you will get a certification error telling you to check your phone date or something like that.

if you r using any voip application on your mobile just uninstall it and then try to install nimbuzz i hope it will not give an error.

Ashfaq December 13th, 2011
@ashfaq
thanks dear. I removed all VOIP items and now nimbuzz is working. So, the problem may be because of the conflict between voip drivers of nimbuzz and other caller softwares. Anyway thanks ashfaq.

vigil December 14th, 2011
@Vigil,
i knew this error is occurring only when u have voip application installed.
After installing nimbuzz u can install the voip applications too try to install the voip application u used before.
Nimbuzz should look in this matter seriously.
