Nokia C6 Unlocked GSM Phone with Easy E-mail Setup, Side-Sliding Touchscreen, QWERTY, 5 MP Camera

Unlocked Gsm Phone

This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider. It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. When paired with a compatible 3G network, you’ll enjoy a high-speed connection offering a variety of feature-rich wireless services–from data connectivity to your office to multimedia streaming, and take advantage of simultaneous voice and data services. In areas not served by a 3G network, you’ll continue to receive data service via EDGE network (depending on network compatibility).

What people says

I purchased this phone almost a month ago. I was a bit skeptical at first to try it, because of some other reviews I saw. I decided to give this phone a try anyway, just to go with my own instinct. I am very glad I did. The Nokia C6 is a wonderful touchscreen phone. This is my third nokia and I must say that I have never been let down by the brand. I pretty much love everything about this phone.

PROS:
Nice size touchscreen, very bright and vibrant.
Disregard what the previous reviewer said about the blue stripe on the bottom of the phone because THERE IS NONE. The plastic cover on the screen has a blue stripe but the actual phone is COMPLETELY WHITE.
Camera quality is great and shutter speed is super quick.
Keyboard is easy to use and keys are big.
Interface is simple and easy to understand.

CONS:
A little bulky.
Camera could get scratched easily since there is nothing to cover it.
Definitely will need a screen protector.

One other thing that I found to be more of a nuisance than anything else is that the GPS positioning option was turned on by default so every couple of minutes it would activate itself and eat up a few cents of the money on my phone. Luckily it was easy to turn off so nothing to worry about anymore.

Overall I really like this phone. I’ve only had it for a short time but so far I haven’t had any problems with it. I would definitely recommend this for someone looking for a touchscreen phone with full keyboard that is also budget-friendly.
