Nokia C6-01, available for 12,618 from Letsbuy after a 1000 discount.

nimitbhardwaj · May 31, 2011

Uh Actually i missed out on something,

I would also appreciate if the phone supported good apps

agantuk · May 31, 2011

Still the same reco. Some of the QT apps for S^3 are outstanding.

nimitbhardwaj · May 31, 2011

ok Thanks,Btw is x6 available in the market?

smalltiger_s · May 31, 2011

you can get X6 on ebay!! it is going cheap as well!!! you might get a 16 gb version at 12 or 13k

One of my friends is having X6 and he's not giving positive feedbacks about his mobile. And C6-01 has AMOLED display if I'm not mistaken. It'd be a better choice than X6

@agantuk - wow superb recommendation. i didn't know that c6-01 is available at 13.5K. A great piece of hardware for that price.
@OP - if you want a phone with excellent VIDEO camera recording (720p), go for C6-01. It's quality is astounding! Else if you are looking for a superb user interface(android) go for Wildfire S.
There are also some advantages and disadvantages in these phones. The Nokia, Clear-Black display is considered to be on one of the best! But not sure whether you'll find considerable difference b/w the display of C6 and Wildfire. And for the Application list - Wildfire S.

Common PLUSes among the two phones - bluetooth 3.0/ wifi n / gorilla glass / Camera flash

I would RECOMMEND the C6-01 over X6.

smalltiger_s · Jun 1, 2011

C6-01 is a good buy, with the rider that you'd have to add your own memory to the phone

comp@ddict · Jun 1, 2011

Yeah, but at Rs. 499 for 8GB I think it's a fair deal to get new hardware, new OS and all the other features that C6-01 has over X6(note, all)

How much memory does the phone have ? Does it not have a memory card in the box ?

agantuk · Jun 2, 2011

AFAIK, it doesn't come with a memory card in the box

For camera and music, C6-01 over wildfire S. And also way better screen,Both resolution wise and tech

nimitbhardwaj · Jun 6, 2011

Hmm Thanks to all,i think i ll go for c6-01 then.

I also considered Galaxy Fit but now i think c6-01 is better in all features(except Apps)

thenoob · Jun 6, 2011

In my opinion I prefer HTC Wildfire S over Nokia C6-01, the main reason being the OS (Symbian is going to be obsolete, where as android has the future) moreover, if you go for touch screens then, you will hate the feel that the Nokia phones offer, believe me I even tried the N8 and E7 but even there touch experience is nowhere near to Samsung or HTC phones.

comp@ddict · Jun 6, 2011

Nokia C6-01:

1. CBD based AMOLED display
2. Higher resolution crisp display for better video viewing experience and better browsing experience
3. Great choice of HD games
4. Availability of every essential app you'll need
5. no-nonsense easy to use UI

emmarbee · Jun 8, 2011

@nimitbhardwaj - decided so quickly?
Did you see the videos these phones on youtube? If not, first do that.
You can see Wildfire S flying through the menus and all the user interface. And installing APPs is simple and easy!
Are you sure you don't want those eye candies?
