Nokia c 6

| |

NOKIA C6 Looking from distance it seems like a black N97
but closely it`s possible to see the differences. The C6 creeps trying to run the Symbian
operating system that is increasingly overtaken
by Android and by the IOS. <!-- more -->
Open the box
It`s time to open the box and see what Nokia
offers. Besides the terminal we have the mobile
phone charger, headphones and a 2 GB card
memory already included. The Nokia C6 has a small but resistive 3.2 inch
screen and a full keyboard.
Performance
Allied to the low reactivity of the operating
system itself, there are times when we touch the
screen and we can`t be sure the instruction was
correctly perceived by the C6 and is being
processed or if simply we have to reload for
something to happen.

There is no stylus provided but it isn`t required
anyway. The tactile screen and the full QWERTY
keyboard are more than sufficient. Beside the keyboard that is hidden beneath the
screen, the C6 have six dedicated hard buttons
and a switch to quickly lock or unlock the
terminal. The usual red and green buttons with
the middle button for the menus can be found in
the bottom of the screen. On one side there is the volume control and a
button to "open" the camera. On the other side,
there`s a slot for the memory card. The 5 MP sensor does not produce the best
pictures ever seen on a smartphone but
nevertheless a good camera for less demanding
users who occasionally take some pictures.

Screen and sound
home screen can have widgets and is
customizable. However, we can only have a
panel with key shortcuts the competition already
has several panels for some time. I`m not sure if that`s intended to compensate for
the low sensitivity of the screen or not but you
can switch between widgets using the physical
keys. The speaker works fine and the sound is well
projected inside a room. It`s impossible to say the
same about the earphones provided as they
never performed well. If you want to use C6 as a portable music player
and fill the 2 GB memory card with music then it
is advisable to invest in some good headphones. During a phone call, both the microphone and
voice quality are average with no parasitic noise
to disturb communication. In the end the Nokia
C6 provides a crystal clear sound.
