Featured S60 5th Edition Mobile Phone: C6

C6 is the newly added member to mobile phones running Symbian OS 9.4 + S60 5th Edition platform.

The Nokia C6 is a smartphone and portable entertainment device by Nokia. It was announced on April 13, 2010. It is similar to the Nokia Nuron or 5230 with a sliding QWERTY keypad. It can also be compared to the N97 mini, but the sliding in this phone is straight, unlike the angled one in the N97 mini, and hence allows a 4 row QWERTY keypad, bringing a slightly enhanced typing experience to the table. The phone has a 5 mega pixel camera, along with a secondary camera for video calls.

All application and games for similar handsets like N97, N97 mini, 5800, 5230, etc will be compatible with this handset.
