The Nokia C6-01 is an impressive refresh of the earlier C6. The C6-01 eliminates the QWERTY keyboard, improves the camera to 8MP and offers the newer Symbian^3 OS.
The Nokia C6-01 is a powerful and sleek candybar-style smartphone featuring a 3.2 inch 360 x 640 pixel resolution capacitive touch screen that utilizes a new technology called ClearBlack, designed to improve outdoor visibility.
The many attractive features include an 8MP camera with dual LED flash, face detection and Geo tagging, HD quality video record, and an additional, front-facing camera that allows for video calling.
The C6-01 provides for an excellent full internet browsing experience that supports HTML, XHTML, Flash Lite, RSS and more. Bottom line on browsing: web pages are rendered beautifully and look great on the high resolution display.
Other features include built-in Facebook and Twitter, FM radio, Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi, 3.5mm headset jack, tethering capability, memory expansion via microSD (up to 32GB), and much more.
Rounding out the feature set is GPS, A-GPS, a powerful document viewer and a full suite of basic phone features. The Nokia C6-01 is both powerful and good looking. Running on the Symbian^3 OS, this phone is definitely ready for whatever you have in mind.
