Nokia C6

No Comments

What is it?
This is very preliminary, but the Nokia C6 is the next phone to be introduced in the C series. The C6 is just an update to Nokia slider phones, nothing ground breaking.

What it has?
- 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
- 3G Network HSDPA 2100
- 3.2″ TFT touchscreen with 16M colors
- Size 360 x 640 pixels, 3.2 inches
- Full QWERTY keyboard
- Internal 256 MB storage
- Card slot microSD, up to 32GB
- WiFi 802.11 b/g
- Bluetooth Yes, v2.1 with A2DP
- OS Symbian OS v9.4, Series 60 rel. 5
- Radio Stereo FM radio with RDS
- GPS Yes, with A-GPS support; Nokia Maps

What it needs?
The specs listed here may change somewhat when the Nokia C6 is available, so it is hard to tell what it is lacking. Two things it needs for sure if it wants to compete in this market – a updated, smooth interface and lots of cool new apps. Symbian has been around for a while, but it definitely need a united delivery channel with support from developers.

Nokia C5 Smartphone

No Comments

What is it?
In the sea of iPhone-styled cell phones, it is refreshing to see a simple-looking candy-bar styled. The Nokia C5 is a slim “classic” cell phone with larger buttons. However, do not be fooled, it comes with a lot of modern features and a Symbian operation system.

What it has?
- 2.2″ TFT screen with 16M colors at 240 x 320 pixels
- 50MB of internal memory
- microSD slot capable of 16GB
- 3.15MP camera with LED flash
- Symbian OS v9.3, Series 60 rel. 3.2
- Stereo FM radio with RDS
- A-GPS with Ovi Maps 3.0
- Facebook (linked to contacts), YouTube, Flickr, and MySpace
- 112 x 46 x 12.3 mm at 89.3 grams

What it needs?
When available, the Nokia C5 will costs a little under $200 USD unlocked, therefore, it does not need much of anything else for the market it is going after. One thing that I can point out is the lack of WiFi. Being a low-end, classic cell phone, you cannot expect people to be subscribed to 3G data plans. Therefore the ability to jump WiFi networks to post Facebook updates would be much appreciated.
