Nokia C6-01 is a small yet stylish smartphone that sports a 3.2-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display with Nokia ClearBlack technology; providing improved outdoor visibility. This handset features the best of mobile entertainment and social networking -- all wrapped in an elegant stainless-steel-and-glass-clad enclosure.

Truly a capable multimedia device, Nokia C6-01 packs an 8 MegaPixel full focus camera with 2x digital zoom and dual led flash. This same camera also shoots high-definition 720p videos. As for mobile entertainment, the phone supports WebTV and Ovi Suite (for games and applications) and has a Music player and Stereo FM radio.

Like Nokia C7, the strongest points of Nokia C6-01 are its social networking and messaging capabilities. Just hook up to a Wifi or 3G network and you can already get live feeds from favorite social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter via Social client and access your email account (Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, Hotmail, Windows Live and Ovi Mail) straight from C6-01's homescreen.
