Review and Specs of Nokia C6-00

C6-00 Nokia Review

Nokia C6-00 is the elder brother of Nokia C3-00, Nokia C6-01 will be hitting the market very soon as well. C6-00 is playing a very important role in Nokia's dooms day game plan.

We all know Symbian is badly beaten by Apple iOS, Google propelled Android (Andy), RIM's Blackberry OS. Most probably Windows Phone 7 will join the club soon, at least that's what Microsoft's propaganda machine is trying us to believe in.

The C6-00 features a slide out QWERTY keyboard, and a 3.2 inches touch screen. Although, its not capacitive touch but still its better than Nokia's C3-00. Nokia C3-00 features an awesome 5 mega pixels camera as well, and the result is pretty nice. Camera is accompanied with an LED flash, the C6-00 also makes geo-tagging a possibility. Camera software sports face and smile detection system.

Nokia C6-00 also supports the all time well known OVi app store, and allows you to install various applications.
What are the available colors for Nokia C6-00?
Black, and White and believe me both are awesome.
Nokia C6-00 has got the looks, but the software it runs on is pretty old and nothing comparable to iOS or Android etc. And the processor is very week, a 437 MHz of muscle is nothing comparable to Snapdragons hidden inside Windows Phone 7 and many Andy(Android) devices. Snapdragon is a 1 GHz processon, more than double.

There is a major difference between C3-00 and C6-00, it is that C6-00 is a Symbian S60 based device whereas C3-00 is a less capable S40 series device.
Nokia C6-00 contains many other interesting features which are  front-facing camera for video calling, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, Assisted-GPS and stereo Bluetooth. An accelerometer is also built in to do automatic screen rotation, alarm snoozing and call silencing.
The 128 MB memory combined with the limited processing power inside the box appears to worsen matters, as soon as the new device charm factor ends the user finds that the phone is not good at even opening images and going though video galleries.
Nokia C6-00 runs on a 1200 mAH Li-ion batter, which gives up to seven hours of talk time and can stay on standby for 17 days. 
An overview of Nokia C6-00 Specifications or specs is given below.
Nokia C6-00 definitely supports Micro SD memory card up to 16 GB.
One very good decision by Nokia people is that they are now making phone with standard 3.5 mm audio jack, that means you can plug any stereo and any head phone in your home into Nokia C3-00 or Nokia C6-00 or Nokia E72.

The Nokia C6-00 Poem 

Real friendship isn't a big thing, it's a million little things
Like the little things that get us through the day
Nokia C6, staying close has never been so easy
Experience the joy of being close and in touch even when apart
Bring your closest friends and family to your homescreen
Priortise 4 or up to 8 contacts
Be in sync, know instantly what's going on
With updates on your homescreen
So you know when someone needs your attention, and a little boost
All your favorite chat accounts in one place
Choose your preferred way to respond spontaneously
Setup all your favourite email accounts
Homescreen widgets to help you stay connected
Convenience of touch screen, with easy to use QWERTY keyboard for quick typing
So you can stay in touch with your friends and family, whenever, wherever
Because what matters most in life is Close Friendship


Nokia C6: Staying close has never been so easy :)

Alternatively, The Nokia C6 poem can be called Nokia C6 Song or some might like to call it The Nokia C 6 Rhythm :)

My Personal Nokia C3-00 Review 

BCM2157 Chipset, Less than $100 Smart Phones Will Be Possible

I'm not kidding folks, this is really truly possilble. According to Jim Tran, VP/GM – Handset Line of Business for Broadcom, some of Broadcom’s bullet points are:

• The BCM2157 baseband, since it combines many functions on one chip, is able to run more efficiently, meaning less battery power will be needed than on current basic handsets. Low-cost, low-power, 65 nm digital CMOS process means the silicon will be cheap. The dual-core processors will run at 500-800mhz. Supports portable Wifi hotspot and Android 2.2 and up
• According to the company, the new Broadcom BCM2157 Android platform targets mass market smartphones mainly, as it provides high-end smartphone features on more affordable 3G Android handsets.

Nokia C3-00, and Samsung Corby Line Up The Mid Range Hot Shots

My Personal Nokia C3-00 Review

This post is a personal Nokia C3 00 review, I've used Nokia C3-00 myself. Looks like Nokia has identified the market need correctly. And it has come up with an economic hand set, Nokia C3-00. This phone gets you very close to a smart phone, in half the price of popular iPhone/Windows Phone 7/Android gadgets. Still there are many good Nokia C3-00 apps out there, and Nokia C3-00 wifi capability is nice. Although Noki C3-00 wifi is not as strong as the wifi in a lap top, but still people after all Nokia C3 00 is an entry level fone(you can gift Nokia C3 to your papa easily). And there are many many Nokia C3-00 free themes also available.

Buy Nokia C3-00 Unlocked

The Good:

Wifi: The coolest thing is Nokia C3-00 wifi capability is awesome, and by awesome I mean "literally awesome". I bought a Nokia C3 00 just because I knew the Nokia C3-00 wifi is solid.

Nokia OVi Suite and store connectivity: Every thing in Nokia C3-00 can be synchronized with a PC using Nokia's free OVi Suite application. It is also possible to back up your contacts, photos, music, and even phone state using OVi Suite. You can send/read received messages from OVi Suite as well.

Then comes in the OVi App store, which is a nice app store though nothing comparable to Apple's App store. You'll find many good games and productivity software for free. OVi suite works good just because of the solid Nokia C3-00 wifi capability, you can easily download Nokia c3-00 apps over Nokia c3-00 wifi. It is also possible to do Nokia C3-00 update using Nokia C3-00 wifi. Anyways, I keep downloading Nokia C3-00 themes over Nokia C3-00 wifi ;)

Built in messenger software: lets you log-on to MsN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, GTalk, and Nokia OVi chat. Good thing, this messenger can be minimized and you can continue fiddling with music or photos after it gets online.

Mail Client: An application which has built in support for Hotmail(Windows Live Mail, Yahoo Mail, GMail, and Nokia OVi Mail).

There's a build in application for facebook and twitter as well, but at least on my C3-00 its not working. I am using Snaptu (free)for checking out Facebook and Twitter. This application works well on Wifi and EDGE/GPRS connections.

The Bad:
The phone often crashes when you try to forward MP4 files.
Not all MP4 files are supported, the picture disappears for some files.
2 mega pixel camera is totally crap.
When you're typing a long tweet or facebook status update, or in my case even blog draft :p and there's music playing in the background the phone becomes dead slow, letters appear slowly on screen while you type.
I tried to perform Nokia c3-00 update many times but it failed. I currently have version 4 of the OS.

Samsung Corby:


Buy Samsung CorbyPro


Earlier this year(2010) Samsung introduced its amazing line up of budget "Almost Smart Phones" called Samsung Corby. Corby line up included Corby TXT, Corby, and Corby Pro. All the Corbies had 2.0 megapixel camera. And there were Wi-Fi capable versions as well. A Corby Txt is pictured below, this one seems to be closest competitor of Nokia C3-00

Corby Pro was all about touch touch. I think Samsung wanted to steal some of iPhone lovers. Or lure in people who got iPhone on their wish list, but don't have enough bucks to buy one.

Samsung Pro sports a nice slide out keypad as well, an attempt to bring in high end Nokia phones look and feel, I think.

 

But I think Nokia's OVi store has played an important role in success of Nokia C3-00. Because OVi store contains a whole lot of applications, which can be easily downloaded for free or maybe purchased.

Nokia C3-00 Wish List:

Before specs I think a wish list is much more important, cause you'll find specs on many other sites as well.

• A browser app which could be minimized just like Messenger, and Media Player. In fact, the capability to hide any running application and move out to other applications. The number of concurrent user applications can be limited.
• S60 like home key, which would make switching between applications much easier.
• Pop up alerts about new call and SMS on PC when a C3-00 is connected to PC via OVi suite.
• An easily customizable  grid/list view background
• A Blackberry style scroll wheel.

Say hello to World's First 23 Inch... full HD... Naked Eye... 3D Display

Eizo intros 'world’s first' 23-inch full HD naked-eye 3D display

Eizo just introduced their long rumored 23-inch full High Definition 3D display, the 3D goggles free version A.K.A "Naked Eye" one.

Here are the images!!!

The Eizo LCD panel sports a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. Intended for the industrial marketplace, the FDF2301-3D uses several methods to bring 3D to viewers without active-shutter specs, such as directional backlight towards the viewer’s left and right eyes as well as a time lag.

Pricing will vary by country, and a base price hasn’t been published yet. But the DuraVision FDF2301-3D is scheduled to roll out during the second quarter of 2011.

3D technology has truly exploded since this time last year, but it still requires the use of 3D glasses for the most part. Will 2011 bring us more 3D-enabled goodies that don’t require any additional spectacles?

• It’s available on all four U.S. carriers: Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile.

And Here's a comparison between Galaxy Tab and iPad

Samsung stressed the ease in which applications could be formatted for the Tab without lots of additional coding, but the size suggests that the device may be more appropriate for the things users do with smartphones and the iPod touch — web browsing, game-playing, news reading via apps — versus the things the iPad hints at doing in the future, such as reading full-bleed magazines, interacting with textbooks and creating content.

All in all, versatility is one of the things that makes the iPad great. You can use it to read big PDFs, look at business reports and dashboards, view video clips, quickly scan through emails and calendars, and pull up full Web pages - all in the palm of your hand. The problem is that the iPad is not necessarily fantastic at any one function. As a result, the iPad and other touch tablets like it will need to make the ROI case to businesses and IT departments based on ease-of-use, which could possibly save on training and troubleshooting, for example.

 The Dell Streak has two things going for it: 1.) It’s technically the first Android tablet from one of the big PC vendors so it has first-mover advantage, and 2.) When you get it your hands, it feels very usable and likeable. But, the Dell Streak is much more like a smartphone than a tablet and when you compare it to the other top-of-the-line smartphones, it becomes much less attractive. If you really want an Android device with a big screen that feels like a small tablet, I’d recommend the 4.3-inch HTC EVO 4G over the Dell Streak.

"Everybody should be able to take a look at a Windows Phone and say, 'I can represent me in this device,'" at Monday's formal unveiling of Windows Phone 7 Ballmer explained.

border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcNKfNDb3lop3XMsZw4Sxn0bZD1P7W99Oh-McMpfLrU1w0kiXRraYOfNdrojSbS13FUujmySkfKr5fh5dt9jwpc216APEZgFt9cMr17qd9rK3As0rYJ87g3xZN4MjBj17WDHHFt89t9fo/s144/Windows-Mobile.png" />To that end, there are nine Windows Phone 7 devices that will be available in the U.S., from manufacturers Dell, HTC, Samsung, and LG. "You see phones with keyboards," Ballmer said, gesturing to a row of all nine devices in front of him. "You see phones like the LG phones that can play to TV, you'll see super beautiful screens like the beautiful screen on this Samsung...very large screen as you see on this HTC device right here and of course rugged, for-the-hardest-use-type phones like this Dell device."

Close ties to existing Microsoft products, from Bing search to Bing Maps to Xbox games (including an EA Mobile partnership to bring Xbox Live-enabled games to the phone) and Zune music, were played up too, as was a tight integration with Facebook

Seven new things to know about Windows Phone 7

1. When can I buy a Windows Phone 7 in the U.S.?

 One model — the Samsung Focus on AT&T, will be available on November 8. “A few weeks” later, expect the LG Quantum and HTC Surround (both on AT&T).

3. Who is the target audience for these phones?

the main target is the feature phone user. There are a lot more of those folks out there who aren’t wedded to a particular smartphone platform/carrier yet. The question is — as it was with the discontinued Kin — will these users be willing to pay $200-plus for a smartphone. (That’s the price AT&T has said it will charge for its first three Windows Phone 7 phones.)

• 720p HD video
• SRS WOW HD™ sound

4. If I already subsubscribe to ZunePass, do I need to buy another subscription for my Windows Phone 7 device?

No. The same ZunePass subscription, activated by the same Windows Live ID, that works on your media player or Xbox will work on Windows Phone 7. If you don’t want to subscribe to the $15-per-month ZunePass, you’ll still be able to buy individual songs, movies and TV shows for your phone via ZunePass. You also will be able to get music/video content from third-party providers, including Netflix, YouTube, Slacker, Spotify and more on Windows Phone 7s.
