We really liked the Nokia C6 when we got our hands on one. The touchscreen is every bit as good as that on its big brother, the N97 and the keypad is a minor marvel. For a mid-range phone it is packed with features. But what about everyone else? Lets see what other mobile sites made of the C6.

T3.com reckoned that the C6 was a "decent stab" at bringing the N97 magic to a lower price point.The reviewer agreed that the keyboard was a stand-out feature, saying, "It took us only a few minutes to get really up to speed with it, the keys offering a reassuring thunk every time they’re tapped, with a decent bobble on each one to ensure you don’t slip onto the wrong key while tapping out texts."

They did rasie some concerns about the placement of the D-Pad and Space bar, though, which the reviewer found to be uncomfortable to use.

Tech Radar had a very in-depth review which compared the C6 to the earlier C5 and thought that the newer phone "certainly has a step up in features to match its higher-numbered name".

The display was complemented for its appealingly natural look when displaying images and clear, readable text and the phone was praised for its easy to set up email, 'sensible' layout and for having such an impressive screen for the price point.

Tech Radar did feel that the phone was let down by a laggy OS and a rather unresponsive touchscreen but praised the overall robust feel of the operating system and apps.

My Nokia Blog felt that the C6 was closer to the 5800 XpressMusic than the N97, and was surprised at how hefty the phone felt copmared to other Nokia smartphones. The reviewer felt that call quality was "top notch" in common with many Nokia's and that sound quality from the media player and headphone jack was acceptable for the price.

The camera was not considered one of the C6's strongest features, but concluded "if you’re simply on a lookout for a capable and affordable device with one of the best physical qwerty keys out there, the C6 is hard bargain to match"
