The Nokia C6-01 bests its basic touchscreen predecessor
The Nokia 5800
In pretty much every way possible. The screen is capacitive rather than resistive
Meaning it’s more assured when you’re prodding and poking it. It also means there’s no pesky stylus in sight
With your digits able to do all the work. The phone sits comfortably in your mitts
With a neat metal finish that is so much classier
The 3.2-inch screen on the Nokia C6-01 is one of the best we've seen on a Nokia smartphone. It features the company's new CBD (ClearBlack Display) technology
Offering deeper and more vivid colours. It also suits the phone perfectly
Giving it a small footprint than no other Symbian ^3 can match. It's much more pocket friendly than the Nokia N8
Proving both shorter and narrower

Camera
Symbian 3 still isn't competitive
Symbian 3 still clunky and awkward compared to rivals
Ugly web browser
Touch sensitivity on screen not the best
Heavy and thick
Some UI oddities
No converter app
Needs larger memory card
The 8 megapixel camera should be something to sing from the roof tops abut
Especially on a phone which is billed as budget. But frankly the pictures are a real let down and lack the kind of crisp detail we’ve come to expect on even the most average of mobile phones. Symbian 3 is still not good enough to call itself a smartphone winner either and is hamstrung by the same quirks as its S60 predece
The smaller screen on the Nokia C6-01 makes it slightly more fiddly to use than the Nokia N8 – especially when trying to tap something in the very bottom corner of the screen. That said
It's more than usable
And very rarely a problem. iPhone and Android users may find the Symbian ^3 OS a little clunky and time consuming to get used to
But it's very customisable and easy to set up in a way that

Overall, we like the Nokia C6-01. It may not set the world alight with its features, but it's comprehensively equipped, looks great and is affordable. There's very little to dislike. Nokia C6-01 is tagged with The 3.2-inch screen on the Nokia C6-01 is ...

There’s no denying the Nokia C6-01 pushes basic phones into new territory. With HD video, a neat touchscreen and features that until a couple of years ago were the preserve of super-pricey cells, this is a great phone if you can only manage around £20 ...

There’s no denying the Nokia C6 is a charming little handset, and it’ll certainly cope with the rigours of a contract better than the puny 5800 that proved so popular in 2009. That Nokia is still able to snag awesome AMOLED screens while the oasis has ...
The Nokia C6-01 is a very nice budget smartphone option, if you want a Symbian smartphone but can't get the Nokia C7. It offers almost everything you would need in a smartphone. You could also look at the Samsung Wave, if you are OK with Bada OS...

The Nokia C601 comes with that durable, reliable feel that only Nokia phones can exude. The phone is covered in a matt metal jacket and the battery cover is a single piece of metal that gracefully slides off and clicks back into place. The volume rocker,
Our main gripes with the Nokia C601 correlate with problems we've had with other recent Nokia phones. The build quality of the Nokia C601 itself is great. It feels solid, reliable and is nice looking. But the reverse is true of the software; it's often sl
The Nokia C6-01 should overshadow the C7: it’s cheaper, has much the same functionality and, while smaller, a higher-quality display. The software on both is identical, and on paper the cameras are also the same. However, while the slick, sturdy C7 le...
