Why is the Nokia C3 very slippery like an eel?

Relax, complaining about a product will sometimes do wonders for the next iteration of the product. We focus this time of tne smooth plastic and back metal casing of the C3 or C3-0o its official name. The smoothness is so extreme, it make the cellphone so slippery!

We hope that users dont have to buy those silly accessories which may in total cost more than the original phone itself. Maybe it would be nice if the manufacturer offers a much more solid non-slip casing. The phone can drop off your finger into Neverland, possibly cracking the clear transparent screen or even shatter the electronics inside.

Nokia C3 phone has a laughable scientific calculator and the world can laugh at me.

I was excited when I bought home my new Nokia C3 phone only to discover that
my calculator has a very weak scientific mode calculator built in! (Add a square root function and call a basic calculator a scientific one!)

I browsed the Internet for a more advanced scientific calculator with trig functions but
when I visited the Ovi store, the blasted page at http://store.ovi.com/content/9030?clickSource=publisher+channel told me


Sorry, this item is not available for your country.

For those who have not yet a C3 phone, save your 6K pesos to buy a genuine Iphone or
subscribe to Globe.

I am not enthusiastic anymore about this phone, but I may change my mind if something develops
positively. As I said in our first article, the redeeming value in this phone is its WIFI capability.

Ah, just today I was shocked to see the trig functions in my calc in scientific mode!

The following functions are available:


xy SIN  COS TAN SIN  pi SIN⁻1
COS⁻1 TAN⁻1 LN LOG n!

But where is ex? and the hyperbolic functions? Is it hard to reprogram the calculator to add more functions?

determining MAC address of your C3 phone

The Nokia C3 outstanding feature is its Wifi capability. There are cheaper phones which may on the surface shame the C3 such as dual or triple sims, tv, or touchscreen but the name alone bespeaks of quality and reliability. My fake PekingPhone which terribly emulates an Iphone has its glass cover cracked when it was inadvertently dropped and I was not able to access its features again!

Some wireless networks with the simplest secutity settings insists that the hardware Mac Address of any client must be inserted in the list of filtered MAC addresses. So if you know that the wireless network requires MAC address filtering, here are the steps:

1. Goto Settings/Connectivity/WLAN/Available WLANS
The phone will detect any nearby wifi stations, choose the wifi to connect to, then select Options/Details. When you press the select button, it will give you the following information:

SSID:
Security:
Channel:
Access point MAC:
Phone MAC:
Connection time:
IP:

The connection time and IP fields are only available when you are already connected to the WLAN.
If your wifi system you are interested have a MAC filtering address system, copy the Phone MAC address and give it to the WIFI station administrator who shall then enter the
MAC address in the filtered list.

When you choose the WLAN again, and press the select button, it should connect automatically and you can use the phoneÅ› Opera browser to access the Internet virtually free!
