Nokia C3 Touch and Type announced at Nokia World 2010

Nokia World 2010 sees the debut of yet another handset, the Nokia C3 Touch and Type this time around. As its name suggests, this model will merge both a traditional keyboard as well as a touchscreen display, bringing the best of both worlds to a single device. Looking pretty much like the Nokia 6700 classic and Nokia 6300 phones, it will deliver familiarity minus the contempt, where single-handed operation is of utmost importance. Those who have been rocking to smartphone operating systems might find the Series 40-powered device to be rather ancient and clunky, but beginners to the phone world would probably figure it out without batting an eyelid. Features include Wi-Fi connectivity, quad band support, 3G/HSPA support, Nokia Messaging 3.0, a 5-megapixel camera with flash. On the outside, the fully stainless steel case adds a touch of class as you choose from Silver, Warm grey and Khaki Gold colors. Just in case there isn’t enough storage space, a microSD memory card slot provides adequate expansion options. Expect to fork out €145 for the C3 Touch and Type prior to taxes or subsidies as the handset is set to ship in Q4 2010. [Press Release]
