Nokia C2-01 is a small but more feature pack compared to Nokia X2-01. The main difference between C2 and X2 is that the C2 has 3g connection (lets discuss this later) and X2 has only GPRS, and, X2 has a QWERTY keypad while C2 has the classic t9 keypad format.
Technical specs
240 x 320 px , 2" display
43mb storage, expandable up to 16gb using microsd cards
bluetooth
3.2mp, 2048 x 1536 pixels
Stereo FM with RDS
MP3 player
3.5mm stero jack
Just like any typical s40 phone from nokia, this phone is simple yet functional. It can basically call and text contacts. Capture 3.2mp images using the camera on its back (dont expect too much from this though). Play MP3 files or even stero FM. It also has bluetooth which can be used to transfer files conveniently or use other bluetooth pheriperals such as wireless headset/headphones easily. BUT, the main selling point of this device is the 3g connection. Don't be confused though, that 3g necessarily means fast. Although this device sports a 3g connectivity, it doesnt support HSPA/HSDPA which are able to download at 1mbps or more. The maximum download speed this phone can achieve is around 384kbps.
For the record, 384kbps bandwidth is more than enough to handle mobile sites but don't plan on using this phone as a modem and then tethering it to laptop or other computers. Since the max speed it can get is around 384kbps (and the market benchmark = 500kbps), there's no problem dealing with small pages such as m.facebook.com it will be painfully slow to visit website such as engadget and other slow loading sites not optimized for mobile consumption.
