Nokia C3 Hands-on Preview (Photo Heavy!) The Nokia C3 seems to really have caught the imagination of those looking for an entry-level answer to the Nokia E72. We've managed to get our hands on a fresh and funky pink prototype version for a quick preview and yes, it's as good as we'd hoped. Read on to find our more, and check out, the Nokia C3...

The Nokia C3 is the first QWERTY device to be powered by the S40 OS, which means texting and messaging just got a whole lot more affordable for most people. There’s Nokia Messaging installed by default, accessible via a single click, and the built-in Wi-Fi means you don’t need to eat through your mobile data tarriff in order to access the web. You'll also find a 2-Megapixel camera on-board and storage for up to 8GB courtesy of  the microSD slot.

We managed to get our hands on a prototype of the Nokia C3 at this morning's exclusive ‘Show’n'Tell’ in Central London with the Head of Nokia Design, Marko Ahtisaari. It's a great little handset that comes with a Communities client built into the Nokia C3’s homescreen, making it easier to access your favourite social networking applications – such as MSN Messenger – and keep up to date with what your friends are up to.

Ahead of its launch on Vodafone in June, we're happy to report the Nokia C3 looks like being something a little special. Check out what the Nokia C3 looks like and let us know what you think in the Comments below.

    Nokia c3 looks too good for the price, 1 thing i wanted to know was if the keypad was plastic and hard to type?? or does it have rubber keys that are smooth to type? how is the qwerty keyboard compared to e71.
    did they say anything about when they r going to launch.
