We said in our post that we estimate the phone will cost somewhere between $500-600. Well, we were wrong, at least for Indonesia!
Thanks to a friend of ours, Lionel from Indonesia, who bought the phone from store, now we have the proof of the bill and we can say it loud and clear: Nokia C6 cost $315(without a contract), in Indonesia at least. Here are the pictures with the phone and the bill, paid in Indonesian national currency(rupiah).

2.850.000 Indonesian rupiah = $316.35

At the Apple last conference(July 16) Steve Jobs accused Samsung, HTC, Rim and Nokia for having the same problems that they’ve got on iPhone 4 smart-phone: antenna problems.
Expanding the problem towards four other big mobile producers was not a smart choice for Apple and the time will surely prove that.
All four blamed companies filled press releases where they explained about their antennas and some(Samsung) claimed as “unacceptable” the decision of Apple. RIM made it clear that they are a global leader in antenna design and the they always avoided the designs like the ones Apple used on iPhone 4. HTC responded through a PR voice that they had just 0.016% users complaining about antenna issues. Nokia, one of the largest mobile producers ensured customers that they put antenna design on top of their priorities when they design a new phone.
Yesterday at Cupertino, California Apple gathered the press to hold up a conference where Steve Jobs will discuss one of the hottest issue: iPhone 4 Antenna Problem.
The conference begun in Apple way: “We are not perfect” “We want to make all our users happy”, said Steve.
Then Steve admit that antenna issue is real, but this problem is on all smartphones(Nokia, BlackBerry, HTC, Samsung). This thing may be possible, but why is Apple quoting other companies when they should have mind their own problem and solve it !? We think Apple point of view was shameless regarding this issue. +Continue Reading
