HOCHIMINH, Vietnam – The Nokia C3 launched in Vietnam on Monday to a rather positive reception. All of the devices prepared for the launch day sold out way ahead of schedule. Crowds gathered from 5am in four cities – Hochiminh, Hanoi, Danang and Cantho – for the launch at 8am. What was intended as a full-day event had to end three hours later when the shelves ran empty. Check below for pictures from the event.

You’ll recall that the Nokia C3 received a similar reception when it was launched in Indonesia earlier this summer.

In Hochiminh, over a thousand people gathered before 7am.
