Nokia C6-01 Unlocked GSM Phone with 8 MP Camera, 720p Video Recording Vouchers

SJ (Quito, Ecuador):
Before buying this phone I did some research; decided on a Nokia C6-01 because price was right, it had most of the features I was looking for and it looked great. I'm really happy I bought it, this is just an excellent phone with lots of good things to like: it's fast, Nokia HW quality, good battery life (can't expect a lot more if I browse the Internet, listen to music and play a lot with it... ;-) ), granted ovi store does not have as many apps as android but it's actually ok, call quality is excellent, the screen is unbelievable, very clear both outdoors and indoors; 8MP camera.... It feels solid in your hand, like it will last forever; and again, it just looks great!!

Highly recommended.

Layman:
Waited for a compact smart phone that fits in the palm and in the pocket, with a stand alone GPS (Works without Data Plan) and i was happy to buy the c6-01. Though there is a delay in getting the Satellite connection, the map works very well once the connection is established (though there are some errors like in some places it asks you stay on the left and take exit from the freeway, while you have to stay on the right actually). The other features like synch, backup are good and even the APPs are ok ( I am not a gamer). The camera is reasonably good. Even the upgrade to Belle was smooth and Belle looks better. All these positives are neutralized by the single problem of the phone hanging often (Freezes and no keys work) and I have to remove the battery to reset / restart to get the phone working. This happened with all three operating system (This came with Symbian 3 and i updated to Anna and latter to Belle). The battery life too short.

I wouldn't recommend this phone to anybody though the price is little less compared to other smart phones.

Jim:
Pros: The phone feels great. It's heavy, but that's because it's really solid construction. The navigation works well. There are more apps than expected in the OVI store.
Cons: It's processor seems slower than other smart phones I've seen. It's also somewhat buggy and becomes unresponsive once or twice a day.
I think I'm going to return it and get something else.
