Tired of switching between IM services to chat with your mates? The Nokia C3 gives you Yahoo messenger, Google Talk, Ovi Chat and more in a clever thing called Multi IM. Log in once - then chat to everyone from a single place.
Socialising made simple
Get all your buddies together
Not everyone uses the same IM services. So the Nokia C3 has Multi IM. Login to one service, and chat to buddies on Yahoo! Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, Ovi Chat and more.
Connect to social networks quickly
Facebook, Twitter, Bebo and others are just a click away. And all your friends’ updates, tweets, pokes and more appear on your home screen – no need to login to each of your favourite sites.
See your texts as chats
The Nokia C3 puts all texts between you and each of your friends into a conversation style layout &ndash so you can see easily everything you’ve been chatting about.
Great for email
Quick to set up – and to type
Get email fast with Nokia Messaging. You can add up to 10 email accounts with ease – everything from Hotmail to Gmail. And writing email is quick too – there’s a full QWERTY keypad.
