      Whenever I play MP4 File a message is appearing “this video may not play well in this device”.
      This is useless. I want to sell it immediately.

    Never buy this model, this has several complaints about coating peeling off. I purchased c2-03 from Cochin 2 months before. After one month of use the front panel (around Display) black colour started peeling off from all corners. This happens due to company uses cheap and low quality materials like paint for this coating. After 2 months it starts all around. I complained about this to nokia and sent several mails to them about this manufacturing defect. But they said that “the Display Screen, Keypad or External Panel would be considered as Cosmetic Items which would not be covered under warranty.” Can you expect this kind of things from a world leader in mobile making.

    Think twice before buying this model. You will get a good dualism from Samsung, LG or Chinese in this price.
