Symbian is still fighting its case against the more popular Android and iOS operating systems. Nokia have added to there C series roster with the Nokia C6; it is a full touch screen phone with a slide out QWERTY keyboard for messaging. The C6 has been set up for e-mail and IM compatibility and the interface integrates your social networks with your contacts. There is plenty of support for multi format media, an FM radio tuner is also in place so users can listen to there favourite radio shows. Navigation has also been handled with an integrated A-GPS receiver and a number of features including Ovi Maps

The screen is 3.2 inches corner-to-corner and utilises resistive touch technology as the main interface navigation tool, it is very bright and has 640 x 360 (nHD) pixel resolutions. An in-built orientation sensor enables you to flip the phone into messaging mode where you can access the slide out keyboard which has be sturdily mounted behind the screen.
Nokias C6 could well be the last Nokia smartphone to pack the Symbian S60 operating system. yes it is a little dated, and yes it can be a little sticky, but it is what Nokia user are used to, and people buy Nokia phones for there simplified usability.

Nokia have loaded the C6 with 3G and Wi Fi for speedy downloading and reliable web connectivity; this is important as the device has been packed out with tons of online features with the Ovi Store, full compatibility with sites like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. The phones web browser is well equipped for a pretty decent browsing experience, simple controls allow for zooming and scrolling while bookmarks can be saved for later viewing. Web pages tend to look quite nice on the nHD display and using the browser in landscape mode will give you a wider perspective on proceedings.
With what seems to be the standard these days the C6 is in the same boat as everybody else with its 5MP digital snapper; it will comfortably capture those special in both photo and video form for immediate upload to your social networks and also YouTube. Mp4 videos are captured in VGA quality at 30fps or 3gp if you wish to include them in MMS messages. The music player will handle all of your tunes, organise them and have them ready for playback via either the in-built speakers or the 3.5mm audio jack for headphone use, and you have the Ovi Music Store available for downloading. The Nokia C6 has a microSD slot which will take cards up to 16GB, there is a microUSB slot for synch and access to the Ovi Suite, and finally the phone has been equipped with Bluetooth for compatible device communication.
Nokia have chosen a pretty good phone for the probable swan song of the Symbian S60 on Nokia smartphones. The C6 is a fully loaded smartphone; it has a user familiar interface which is easy to navigate with the responsive touch screen. The widget based smartphone has been focused towards business users with the e-mail compatibility and professional look, but the device will also be appealing to younger users as there has been alot more demand for QWERTY messaging devices from the younger demographic.
