Review: Nokia C2-03 and C2-06

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Both Nokia C2-03 and C2-06 the handsets look very much similar to Nokia C2-02, and carry features to draw attention of the low budget mobile buyers.

Nokia C2-03 and C2-06 are touch and type enabled and come in attractive colors with chrome finish with a slide-out keypad. Both the models come with 2.6 inches TFT resistive touchscreen and dual SIM with easy swap function for both SIMs, allowing users to change their SIM cards without actually having to switch off their mobile phone or remove the battery which make call from either SIM very easy.

The basic features of these two phones are a 2 MP camera, video recording at QCIF@15fps, 10 MB internal storage and microSD up to 32GB with 2GB included. Both the phones have the same talk time of up to 5 hrs. On the connectivity front, both Nokia C2-03 and Nokia C2-06 have the latest 2G Internet access technologies like GPRS and EDGE. However, you have to keep in mind that both the models lack high speed 3G and Wi-Fi Internet connectivity. 

So you might be thinking why they put different model numbers as both the phones have same facility? Well that's indeed a big question, we got very less to choose between these two models of Nokia. Only notable difference is that C2-06 has a built-in 106 phone speaker with music play time of up to 35 hours, whereas C2-03 lacks a built-in speaker. Little confusing about the policy why Nokia lunched two identical devices together. In the price front as well, there isn't much difference.

Price:  Rs 4,099 for Nokia C2-03, and Rs 4,807 for Nokia C2-06.

Nokia C2-06 Specifications:

Dual SIM(GSM+GSM), Dual Standby, 2.6 inches Resistive Touch Screen, Handwriting recognition, 2 MP Camera, FM Radio with Recording, Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP, Video Player, Maps and location services, Email and messaging.
