According to recent news, the Nokia C6 smart phone is finally available in the Finnish manufacturer’s UK based online store. The device can be bought for a very low price of only 289 Pounds Sterling, SIM free. The device is also available on varying contract plans from both Vodafone UK and T-Mobile. The offers on both networks are pretty close so it all falls under the consideration of which coverage users would prefer to have.
But why the Nokia C6 –because the handset is actually everything that a budget limited user would need from a current generation smart phone. In this day and age of Android devices and BlackBerry smart phones, sticking to a tried and tested operating system like Symbian is still a good option.
Despite the firmware still based on the older S60 OS, the features are excellent and users are able to adapt easily to controlling the system. At 160 grams, this smart phone is also a little light.
The handset itself is a pretty great smart phone. It lacks any distinguishing marks on the casing, and the simple button layout on the front does not take the focus away from the screen. Speaking of the screen, this handset comes with a 3.2 inch TFT resistive touch screen display. Despite using resistive technology, the phone still manages to provide quick and accurate touch controls to users.
The ARM 11 CPU might be considered slow, but even at 434 MHz, users will be able to run most apps without any significant problems in performance.
For a camera, the device wields a nice 5 mega pixel snapper –pretty standard for a touch screen smart phone. It is packed with autofocus, LED flash, face and smile detection, and geo tagging capabilities. The handset supports GPS, WiFi, 3G, 2G, Bluetooth and all the usual smart phone features.
