jervz, 30 Oct 2010can i ask..?? im from Philippines. at this rate.?? is... moreHi jervz

I was just wondering, how can anyone tell you the pros and cons of this handset. User experiences vary over space and time. User priorities also vary a lot from one person to another. One feature that someone likes might be a +ve point for him/her, while for you that particular feature might actually be a -ve aspect. Thus, it is very hard to straightaway point out the pros and cons of this (or any) device.
However, I'll try to just put some points, which according to me are the -ve/+ve aspects of this handset.

+ve points

1. A good all-round performer. According to me, the C6 packs the punch with almost all the features a normal smartphone user might want from a decent handset in the middle segment.
2. Price point. This is possible the strongest positive point of the C6-00. being a sub $300 smartphone, Nokia has hit the sweet spot in the mobile phone market, with the launch of the C6-00.
3. Features. The C6-00 is an all-round performer, packed with decent features. Some of it's features are pointed below.
a) A 3.2 Inch full touchscreen display with decent resolution of 360x640 px.
b) Slideout hardware QWERTY keyboard.
C) 5 Mpx camera with flash, capable of shooting VGA videos @ 30fps.
d) A-GPS/Wifi(802.11 b/g) add to the features of this offering.
e) Bundled Lifetime voice guided navigation license from Nokia is also an added advantage for frequent travellers.
f) Decent music/video playback performance.
g) The most important - The price

Negative Points
There are certain negative aspects of the C6, which might refrain you from buying it.

a) Hanging issues that have followed the handset from the time it was launched in the markets. Although it seems that Nokia has figured out the cause and has worked out a solution for this severe problem.
b) Low device RAM. Only a meagre 128 MB.
c) Low battery backup.
d) The Screen. I can't figure out why Nokia has done this, but, one more negative point of the C6-00 is the touchscreen technology used. The C6-00 uses Resistive touchscreen technology, which, I suppose is far more inferior than its Capacitive counterpart.

Some points for your consideration, you can head on to your local Nokia site to compare the C6-00 with some other handsets you like. Alternatively, you can also make some comparisions here in gsmarena only.

Whatever conclusion you come at, please post it here for the benefit of other users. And it's upto you, which handset you'd like to buy.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm gonna get the C6-00 only!

Sid, 29 Oct 2010Hi all,, i am pllaning to purchase this phone in indore,... moreHi, Sid,
I'm from Delhi.
As of now, the problem seems to have been resolved. Thus, any new handsets now manufactured will be, I suppose, free from the problem. However, you will not be able to find any C6-00's in any of the stores, as it seems that Nokia has recalled all (obviously, the unsold ones) from the markets. So, wait for a while, (some more if you are already waiting for this one for a past couple of months). I'm also waiting for this one.
Best of luck!

There is no official statement on either the problem or the solution, but the related thread on discussions.nokia-asia.com, is indicating that the problem has been temporarily resolved. Customers are required to send their phones to the Nokia Care points in their respective countries. As of now, no firmware upgrade is available. This seems to be a hardware issue. Those who are still suffering from the C6, please submit ur sets to the Nokia Care for (i pray) the last time.
