Nokia C1-02 Unboxing Review (Photo Heavy)

The Nokia C1-02 is a budget priced mobile phone with a nice bright screen, big buttons, Bluetooth packed away inside, as well as access to Ovi Mail and Ovi Chat. Want to know what you get for your not-very much money spent? Join us after the jump as we reveal all with our Nokia C102 unboxing review.

We were recently asking whatever happened to the Nokia C1-02 as it had been announced but never launched. Well, it seems Nokia UK has answered our call as the Nokia C1-02 just landed on our doorstep.

The first thing you notice about the Nokia C1-02 is how small the box is. Gone are the days of over-sized packaging, as this eco-friendly approach creates less of an impact on your carbon footprint. That's not to say you won't find everything you need stuffed away inside the box.

The Nokia C1-02 sits nicely packed at the back of the fold-in tap, which when you pull open reveals the charger and user manual. The handset itself feels amazing solid in the hand for such an entry-level mobile phone. Weighing in at 77g and measuring 108 x 45 x 14mm it's a nice and compact phone.

The backplate and battery of the Nokia C1-02 fit snugly and once you've powered it up you'll find a nice and bright 1.8-inch screen. The Nokia S40 OS chgs along at a decent rate and while there isn't much to see on the Homescreen, other than time and date and the wallpaper, press the Menu button and you'll find a wide array of apps to plug into.

Flip the Nokia C1-02 over and the first thing you notice, or don't notice, is there is no camera, just a speaker! Odd in this day and age of multimedia but it helps to keep the price down and the battery life up! We'll be testing out the Nokia C1-02 over the next couple of weeks, so we'll find out exactly how long the battery lasts. In the meantime, Nokia is quoting the Nokia C1-02 with over 10 hours talk-time and 22 days in standby mode, which is pretty good in our book.

We're waiting for Nokia UK to let us know how much the Nokia C1-02 will cost, as it's not officially launched yet but with an expected price of around 34 Euros, it's going to be a bargain!

    Hi,

    This is the first halfway-decent phone I’ve come across that would suit my dad (whose workplace doesn’t allow camera phones). I was wondering if you could cover the phone’s software and operation. Is it the same as every other Series 40 phone? He hates having to use low-budget phones because they don’t even have basic stuff like text size readjustment.

    Thanks!

    @Charvi. It comes with S40 6th Edition Lit, so you’ll find everything you need for messaging and texting. We’ll give it a going through in our software review but not spotted any way to make text size bigger yet.

    don’t like big clock how to change…

    good for college students where camera phones are not allowed……..

    Wow! I wasn’t even expecting a reply. So the text size remains tiny? I guess I’ll have to go with the BlackBerry 8830 WE then. Thanks a lot though. :-)
