It does not have a great keyboard, is GSM only and the OS is not the best. It is not configured to Rogers, but it is unlocked, so it will works on the network. You would still have to program in the data APN settings.

I would have high concerns in buying off brand junk from China. They sell too much unusable garbage to sort through the gems.

I still strongly recommend you look for a series 60 nokia phone, because of their build and price. The Nokia E63 and E5 also added to the list of keyboard phones I recommend.

Use one sim for speakout browsing use another for calls.

You can probably find a slider with a decent 3-4" screen similar to a droid and it will be a good browsing experience

Also a friend suggested a Samsung A187 available from Newegg unlocked for $50 and apparently configured for Rogers. Anyone know anything about that phone? Seems about comparable to the C3 hopefully more stable though.

My Nokia N8 only has 256mb memory. If you are surfing websites that don't have a mobile site, it can easily crash your browser, which I would assume only has 128mb.

Imagine surfing the web on a P3 600 laptop with 128mb ram. (Ok maybe 384mb ram. I forgot to consider windows 2000!)

That would crash pretty quickly and easily too. Rules for mobile browsers are to clear the cache quickly and often.

They are solid phones, and pretty cheap on Kijiji. The C3 is a series 40 phone, and it is one of Nokia's lemons

It is fully compatible with Rogers (i.e., SO) network.

Mostly the browser is my biggest complaint. What other phones out there will work with SOs UMB for browsing. I do not want anything other than a web browser, not interested in videos, social networking, downloading data or anything else. Don't care about 3G or anything else. Just want something reliable that works. I got the C3 because it seemed the most advanced of the SO offerings and I wanted something with a real keyboard not a screen one.

Just need to hit my webmail from my ISPs site, check weather/radar, read the news and financial sites when on the road. That's it. What is a cheap unlocked phone that will work for doing that simple bit of stuff?
