The Nokia C6-01 comes in as a reasonably priced and well-built smartphone with great all-
round connectivity and a unique feature to set it apart from rivals. The ClearBlack display can
actually give Nokia quite an edge if it lives up to the expectations.
The Nokia C6-01 has got a tall task on its hands. It comes to replace an iconic phone like the
5800 XpressMusic. The Nokia 5800 (despite all its imperfections) introduced Nokia to the
touchscreen game with a winning move but now it’s time for it to bow out of the way with
dignity.
Final words
Nokia C6-01 feature pack and capabilities are almost the same as the previous Symbian^3-
powered C7. The thing that makes C6-01 special is its elegant and unique look plus it’s
compact form factor. We guess the lower price will be a factor too.
This time Nokia has bet on a smaller AMOLED screen in order to give us a more pocket
friendly phone. Of course, shrinking the phone has made an impact on the thickness, but
most users won’t have problems with that additional 3mm.
At the time being Nokia C6-01 can be yours for around 300 euro, which is close to the price
announced initially by Nokia. As things stand right now, the Nokia C6-01 is too close to C7.
The only differences are in the slightly bigger screen and the FM transmitter.

For a few more bucks you could get the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, which has just got its
long awaited update to Android 2.1 or the Motorola MILESTONE XT720, which runs Eclair as
well. Both of them pack 8MP snappers with autofocus and 720p HD video recording.

In case you’re into the Bada thing or want to bet on another relatively new OS, you should
definitely check the two Waves. The Bada pioneer Samsung S8500 Wave offers 3.3-inches of
Super AMOLED screen, Hummingbird processor and 5 megapixel camera with HD video
recording. It costs 50 euro less than Nokia C6-01.
The recently unveiled Samsung S8530 Wave II should start selling later this month for about
the same price as Nokia C6-01. It is also based on Samsung’s Bada (v1.2) platform but this
time around, you get a 3.7” LCD display instead of a 3.3” Super AMOLED.
