  Not bad, with a few quirks.

  by originalsoul31 on March 15, 2012

  Pros: Responsive and crystal clear touchscreen display, stylish, applications load with decent response time.

  Cons: Some applications hard to find; case too slippery, which makes phone seem fragile; loudspeaker slightly weak.

  Summary: I ordered this phone last week and have somewhat gotten used to it. It is replacing my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, hopefully. So far, so good. I am still getting used to using my fingertips as opposed to my fingernails to maneuver through applications and for texting, which will take some time. The touchscreen is very responsive and applications seem fairly swift in comparison to the 5800. However, the 5800 was superior as far as sound quality of the loudspeaker. The C6-01 sounds good but doesnt sound as full or as strong. Also, the slide lock function on the C6-01 seems very hard to use without holding the phone with both hands--which may be welcomed, because the slidelock on the 5800 over time is what eventually caused me to order the C6-01, as the slidelock seemed to be worn out. Many of the applications that I used on the 5800 are included on the C6-01, but are in a lot of different places. The camera takes excellent pictures, but the one thing I dislike about this phone and the 5800 is the ability to disable camera sounds altogether. So far, I am pleased with the C6-01, but it will take a little time to get used to.

  So, it's been about a week and I'm enjoying a lot of the functionality of the phone, but it does have some flaws. First, I'm still having trouble adjusting to the capacitive touchscreen, so I'm still finding my groove there. Second, the notification light seems very dim in comparison to the 5800, so you really have to pay attention to see if a message comes through when the phone is on silent. Lastly, sending a multimedia file--and sometimes receiving one--seems to take way longer than the 5800, so I'm hoping it's just a setting that I have not found to adjust yet. However, review of this phone remains positive.

  So, it's been about a month with this phone. It's holding up pretty well. The slidelock function has become easier to use. Updated the software to run Symbian Anna, and I'm not exceptionally fond of it but I can live with it. I'm also not fond of the battery life, as I'm charging my phone every day, or maybe a day and a half. Sometimes it freezes up but I cant determine why that happens just yet. Also still having trouble with sending multimedia files, as they seem to take forever for the smallest of files. However, this phone is still a wonderful upgrade.

  Welp, it didnt last very long, and probably is the first Nokia phone that didnt last longer than any of the others I've ever purchased before replacing it or upgrading. I'm actually kinda disappointed because of it. I tried to get used to texting with it but never got used to it. I always had troubles sending a picture or video message. It froze too much. The web browser was slow. And the battery life was not great, plus the battery got too hot on long calls. Granted, I got used to how this phone reacted compared to the Nokia 5800, the C6-01 seemed inferior. It has now been downgraded to backup, and replaced by the Nokia Lumia 900. I'm hoping Nokia keeps me thrilled with this phone and their product, cause I almost bought an iPhone, and I'm reluctant to switch the playing field right now. The C6-01 is not a bad phone, but it's got issues that can be problematic.
