Nokia C6-00: Writer's Opinion

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Alhamdulillah. After using Nokia C6-00 for a while, since September 2010, let me share my thought about this Symbian S60v5 (also known as Symbian^1) mobile phone.

Yes:

[+] Quran software is available to install.

[+] Symbian S60v5 (since it has tons of installable apps)

[+] touchscreen (insyaAllah, none will say "sshhh,, be quiet" when we do fast-typing)

[+] physical QWERTY keyboard (4 rows, for faster typewriting)

[+] 5 Megapixels camera with autofocus (although not a Carl-Zeiss lens as embedded on Nokia N97)

[+] secondary camera for video call

[+] LED flash (single, but quite usable for spotlighting)

[+] WLAN (b/g, still miss the "n")

[+] 3G (fast internet connection, at least faster than GPRS-only)

[+] built-in accelerometer (for auto-rotate display)

[+] synchronizable with Nokia Ovi (store Contacts, favourite locations in Ovi Maps, Calendar entries, Notes, over the internet)

[+] GPS

[+] easy-to-use Email client, Adobe Flash-Lite


No:

[-] Arabic language unfortunately unsupported, nor writing and reading (even my old S40 devices supported it) <-- alhamdulillah, solved by using Nokia Pure font.

[-] Symbian S60v5 has its own negative sides (e.g. requires double tap to flow down the menus)

[-] USB does not charge (so we have to "rely" on the charging cable)

[-] doesn't support BlackBerry(R) Messaging (of course)

[-] a little of medical applicatons available

[-] no IM client pre-installed (except for Ovi Contacts which supports Ovi Chat and GTalk; but third party IM client, alhamdulillah, can be installed easily)

[-] functional keys on the QWERTY keyboard are limited

[-] display: poor sunlight legibility

[-] no magnetometer (cannot be used as a digital compass)


--- الحمد لله ---
