The Nokia X6 was the first Nokia smartphone to be launched with a capacitive touchscreen, making it the perfect smartphone for firing off quick messages. Naturally, if you looking to upgrade your Nokia X6 you'll be wanting the latest features, which is where the Nokia C6-01 comes into its own. Read on to find out why we think upgrading your Nokia X6 for a Nokia C6-01 is the ideal match...

The Nokia C6-01 has the potential to be one of the biggest selling Nokia handsets, with a brand new Symbian^3 operating system and a reasonable price tag, making it the perfect choice for anyone thinking of upgrading their Nokia X6.

As with the Nokia X6 there’s a 3.2-inch screen with a capacitive panel, however, the big change is that the Nokia C6-01 comes packing in AMOLED technology, so images look brighter and sharper and you'll be able to use it outdoors on even the shiniest of days.

What's more, with a screen resolution of 640 x 360 pixels, the Nokia C6-01 blows the image spots off the Nokia X6 and because it's capable of handling HD images with ease, watching movies is a pleasure on the Nokia C6-01.

The software also impresses. Symbian^3 is quick, polished and a lot more advanced than the S60 5th Edition OS found on current touchscreen Nokia devices. Storage space may be limited to 340MB of internal memory, but this helps to keep costs down, and you’ll also be able to upgrade to 32GB via microSD card.

The Nokia C6-01 comes with 3G/HSPA and Wi-Fi built-in, so staying in touch is easy. Packing in the latest 8-Megapixel CCD, topping the 5-Megapixel CCD of the Nokia X6, you'll find that multimedia is a must. Photos are top notch and with support for video recording in 720p HD. Movie footage sparkles too.

So, what are you waiting for, upgrading from the Nokia X6 to the Nokia C6-01 couldn't be easier, as it brings the latest Nokia features together in one great looking handset.

I think existing two basic components that keep me from C6, X6 user being, one is the lack of Macro Mode in the C6 in addition to the improved look and aesthetics of the X6. Only 340 of memory is a limiting factor, it is not the same as the phone\’s files from its internal memory to external memory.

You make it sound like the C6-01 has superior resolution, with 640×360. Actually, the 5800XM, X6, and C6-00 also boasted the very same resolution. I think the emphasis should be squarely on the C6-01′s advanced CBD AMOLED display, which does offer superior contrast, vibrant colors, power savings, and daylight performance.

Clearly, the C6-01 also brings the new owner into next gen Symbian territory, which promises a better UX going forward. The hardware has hi end graphics acceleration, solid RAM and NAND specs, and a decent CPU.

In the end, the only potential downgrade would be the C6-01′s EDoF camera…which cannot read barcodes nor scan business cards very effectively, like AF cameras on the 5800, X6, etc.
