Nokia C2-05: reviews, review, technical specifications

In order to fully appreciate the work of the Finnish company Nokia, it is necessary to study at least two or three devices for its production. As a testing device, you can take the popular Nokia phone (button) C2-05. This model is quite interesting in terms of external parameters, and is also unusual for its internal stuffing.

What goes in the kit?

When buying this phone in the box, the consumer will find a charger, a headset, the device itself and an instruction manual.

Design

The device is small in size, it is compact enough and convenient. If you compare with the male palm, the phone completely "drowns" in it. The weight of the device is 98 grams, the size is 9.9x4.7 x 1.6 cm. Many potential buyers are frightened off by the fact that the device is slightly thick. However, it must be remembered that this device is a slider, so this thickness is normal for it.

By design, we can conclude that the Nokia C2-05 phone is more designed for the younger generation, rather than for older people. The fact is that the dominant colors are bright and juicy. In the market you can find just three versions of the device: black, pink and blue.

This review will affect the black version. The panel is made of high-quality plastic. Gloss almost none (there is only near the screen and the keys for the call). The advantage was given to the matte coating. He also has his pluses. For example:

• Less often, it is subjected to mechanical action, as a result of which a scratch or dent may appear.
• Cleanliness is the main friend of this surface.

Colors are arranged in this way: black from the bottom of the body panel, above it is used a dark gray hue. Nokia C2-02 deserves a solid five for the quality of assembly and materials. There is no loophole, no squeaks and no swaying either. Although the design itself has a sliding mechanism, there is still a monolithic effect. Closing and opening, the phone gives a barely audible click. There is an auto-advance, which halfway already makes itself felt.

Screen

The Nokia phone (push-button) is equipped with a liquid crystal display. Its diagonal is 2 inches. It supports about 65 thousand colors. The resolution is 240x320 pixels. The brightness is not strong, does not change in the settings, and the colors are not very bright. Blind spaces appear under the sun's rays, but the text remains readable.

If you believe the reviews of people who have been using this device for a long time, scratches on the screen appear rarely, as it is covered with a special protective plastic.

Internal interface

Phone Nokia C2-05, firmware in an updated form for which is freely available, operates on the Series 40. The desktop is equipped with a label for mobile communication and charging. In addition, there you can see the date and time. Widgets are not uncommon on the screen of this device. It can freely set the timer, stopwatch, links, chat, multimedia, mail, search, call log and other applications. The menu is called up using the special navigation key.

On the locked screen, nothing new will be seen by the host, since nothing is displayed on it. The design of standard themes for Nokia C2-05 changes at the discretion of the buyer, as is the background image of the display.

Book of rooms

The phone memory allows you to have about a thousand contacts. In each of them a person can save no more than 5 phones. When you enter a last name and a name, you can notice that there are only 50 text symbols per field, which, in principle, is always enough. For a specific subscriber, they show their own melody and picture. The numbers are stored both on the card and in the Nokia C2-05 memory.

The list can be completed alphabetically by first or last name. There is also a search, with which it is easier to find the necessary contact.

Call history

This section of the menu includes all calls: incoming, missed, outgoing, dialed. You can find here the total duration of calls, the duration of the conversation with some individual subscriber, the number of sent messages and other connections. In addition, there is a speakerphone. It is quite high-quality, it's legible. Recording a conversation is another feature that Nokia C2-05 supports. It was not superfluous to introduce a speed dial. Thanks to this, up to 8 numbers can be recorded for each key. Judging by the feedback of consumers, this function is quite in demand.

Posts

Several years ago, a unified design for messages was introduced. Correspondence with a specific contact is grouped into a folder or dialog. So it's much more convenient to view the conversation history, to search for the necessary information. The phone supports receiving SMS and MMS messages. To create the second variant, you need to insert a melody, a photo, a video into the usual message. The device itself will change the format of the message to MMS. Font, or rather its size, can be changed in the settings.

From SMS, you can transfer data to the calendar, contacts, etc. You can send them to e-mail or to a regular phone number.

Email

In order for e-mail work to be correct and do not show failures, it is necessary to use the "native" application installed by the manufacturer. It supports the resources of all known mail servers, in particular Mail.ru and Gmail.com. Already with them there will be no problems. The phone is capable of receiving any message, but there may be problems viewing it. Best of all, the device is given the opening of graphic images.

Camera

There is a camera, but it is rather weak - only 0.3 megapixels. Find it easily through the menu of the device. The design is intuitive, so it will be easy to understand it. You can save pictures both on the phone and on microSD. The image will be named either as the owner wishes, or automatically. It is possible to set some effects.

Player

The list of melodies is sorted by alphabet, genre, number of plays, album and singer. It is possible to create playlists in which you can include songs sequentially or randomly. During the playback of the melody, the picture of the album (if specified) is displayed on the screen, the artist's name, year of release. You can change the sound and flip through the songs with the help of a special key.

Radio

The phone has support for radio stations. A list of all possible waves can contain no more than 20 pieces. They are added there after the automatic search and manually. Moreover, this menu section is placed on the desktop.

Video and photo album

"My photos" is a folder in which all the pictures taken are placed on the camera. There is a function of slideshow, the speed of which can be adjusted by the user (from 3 to 10 seconds). In order to enlarge the picture, you need to click on it, in this case it will open on the whole screen. To return to the usual position, you need to do the same manipulations.

Video can be viewed in any position: vertical and horizontal. It is possible to transfer files by mail, MMS and Bluetooth.

Browser

Browser is a program for the Nokia C2-05 phone that is installed by the provider. This machine is Opera Mini. It is installed on various techniques of this company. The phone does not have 3G, so you do not even have to start talking about downloading pages quickly. The browser itself has a good number of settings. Although the downloading is very slow, the phone enhances the display of even the heaviest sites with the maximum number of graphic elements. For those to whom the Internet in the phone is not the main thing, this option is quite suitable.

Results

When talking, the speaker shows himself on the advantageous side - the interlocutor is audible well, as evidenced by the feedback from customers. The melody is also loud, but if the phone rings in a noisy place, it still can not be heard. There is a vibration function (its power is average).

The most advantageous aspects of all Nokia devices are the popularity of the company, good assembly, quality materials, and a simple and intuitive interface. The price of this device is only 3 thousand rubles. Its firmware update at home is very easy, so do not contact the service for help when downloading the software for Nokia C2-05. RM 724 is the version that is most suitable for this model.
