C6 Articles

Last week, we got a chance to see the next Nokia smarthphone: C6. We found out that the phone features: 5 megapixel camera, QWERTY keyboard, 434 MHz ARM 11 processor, Symbian 9.4 OS, Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi and GPS.

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).

It’s been a while since Nokia lost the battle of smartphones and Apple, HTC, RIM or Motorola are now some of the leaders in this mobile phone niche. Now more than never, the finnish mobile manufacturer want to keep up with the trend and will release soon a QWERTY smartphone.

Nokia C6 is the name of the phone that is scheduled to be released this summer, but till now we haven’t found any official to confirm this.

The phone comes with a 3.2-inches resistant touch screen with a 360 x 640 pixel resolution. Display is featuring: brightness control, orientation sensor, proximity sensor and ambient light detector. Just under the display are 3 keys: Call/Menu/End Call.

The QWERTY keyboard that we’ve talk about is unveiled if you slide the phone on the right side and is featuring a navigation key.
