I do not use my cell phone actually just to make phone calls, listen to music and texting so I will not comment on the Web functions here as the phone for probably, based on the "small" display's, is particularly suitable.
I judge here just things that are personally important to me.
Habtik:
The mobile phone is very well made and looks very classy and chic, but this of course is a matter of opinion. The pictures I've watched en masse here in the Net could not convey nearly as as as if you hold the phone itself in the hands of the. The battery cover is made entirely of metal and can be opened or closed easily. Nothing is loose and nothing creaks, yes exactly would that be.
Display:
Well, the size of 2.4 inches is sufficient for my needs particularly as it takes already more than half of mobile phone size. The touch function works very quickly and accurately. Had I not known it before I would have rather suspected that a capacitive touch panel is installed here. Furthermore, the display is sufficiently bright and easy to read.
Camera:
Really only a Knipse no longer. Who is expected to quality pictures here unfortunately on the wrong track. But since I do not need something like that anyway I consider it only as a nice accessory.
Music Player:
Plain and simple music player with no frills but with good sound. For my needs perfectly adequate.
Pictures:
Detailed wealth can be based on the size of the display's naturally not recognize. But to show a friend NEN image that is quite OK.
Also for example. rotating an image goes with me without delay after pressing the corresponding button's of equip.
Call:
I certify the C3-01 good, intelligible voice quality, so just like I am used to from Nokia to date.
General operation:
I find the S40 version very well matched to the Touch and Type mobile phone even if some functions are a little convoluted and ever since it has to search for something. Since then helps even the manual does not really. But when you even know how it works, it is almost all self explanatory.
Battery:
Last but not least, we come to the most important things which I think is a good phone accounts, Namely the battery life.
And since I can only report positive. I have my cell phone the last fully charged 5 time ago and to this day I therefore telephoned something tested the mobile games extensively, looked at pictures and watched a couple of videos and my battery is full yet to 2/3.
If I then on my last phone what think so after 5 days standby, no joke and a nice greeting to Korea, the sail has removed the power from the Nokia battery almost like water from a tap.
The few users here have problems with the battery of the C3-01 I can not understand at all. Either because the battery or even the phone is defective.
So, and where the sun is there, of course, is also shadow.
What I personally do not like so:
A question that concerns me why Nokia was not even accompanied by a USB data cable supplied with the able? If the mobile phone thus become about so much more expensive?
The headset can also be forgotten. Ordinary 0815 earphones that fall after each wrong move from the ears.
For a software CD, it has unfortunately probably no longer enough.
On the operation of the mobile's I only suspend it's hard to press the button of the key lock on the side of the phone's. One must always look for the button only with the eyes as it is to feel my fingers. I guess because Nokia has had ever better ways to enable or disable a key lock.
My Conclusion:
So based on my experience so far I would like to recommend the phone without hesitation. Although the delivery is somewhat lean and the camera delivers more moderate image quality that the phone but compensates by its excellent processing, usability and the excellent battery.

Addendum:
Oops, just found by chance. The unblocking also works simply by pressing the red lay-up OnOff switch key (OnOff button then press release).
