The Nokia C3 is the first QWERTY Series 40 phone to launch from Nokia and what's more you can now bag it for as little as £80 PAYG! We always knew it was going to be a cheap budget device but that's a cracking price for such a slab of messaging fun. Join us after the jump to find out where you can get the Nokia C3 for just £80.

The Nokia C3 caused queues of Beatles-eque proportions when it launching in Indonesia earlier this month and while we're not expecting the same here in the UK, you can now get your hands on the QWERTY messenger.

The Nokia C3 has landed and pretty much on time. It was reported that Vodafone would start to ship the Nokia C3 on the 22nd of June, so two days isn't too late in our book. Vodafone has the phone up for just £80 on PAYG. It's thought that O2, Phones 4 U and The Carphone Warehouse will all be stocking the handset from August.

The Nokia C3 is a cracking little handset that uses a non-touchscreen display measuring in at 2.4 inches. The 320 x 240-pixel resolution is the same as most other devices of this size, providing a good compromise between cost, image quality and usability.

If you want to get your hands on the Nokia C3 SIM free then the best place to hit is Nokia Online, where you can pick up said handset for £119 (inc. VAT).

So, are you going PAYG with the Nokia C3 or SIM free? Then again, will you be looking at a monthly contract when they start to roll out? Let us know what you plan to do with the Nokia C3 in the Comments below.
