Not to be confused with the similarly-titled C6, the C6-01 enters the crowded smartphone arena at the lower end, and is priced accordingly.

Review: Bell Nokia C6-01

The Nokia C6-01 is a small, compact, and durable device that suffers from sluggish and out-dated software in Symbiam^3. The touch screen is not adequately sized for daily web browsing and video playback. The structure of the OS is annoying and impractical, as it took constant navigation through nested menus to find desired locations. The media player continued to perform well, and the extended life of the 1050mAh battery was quite surprising. Hopefully, Nokia can accelerate their research and development for their upcoming Windows 7 devices, in order to prevent any delays, which might cause the release of an unnecessary Symbian^3 device. Overall, the Nokia C6-01 maintains Nokia’s continuing commitment to impressively designed devices, without any attention or changes to the out-dated, preloaded software. The $0.00 pricing on a 3-year contract is a great price point, but I am baffled as to why this device jumps to over $200 on a 2-year contract.
