Nokia C6 Part 2: Multimedia and Camera

Published by at

In the second part of his review of Nokia's new C6 (here's part 1), David Gilson looks at its camera and multimedia software bundle. Although there's little here that's actually new, what's surprising is the C6's speed - it seems that S60 5th Edition is now pretty well optimised in this regard.

"The C6 comes with the standard S60 5th Edition Music application. The first screen offers links into sub-applications for audio playback. The first of which is of course the main Music player. This is followed by a link to Nokia's "Ovi Music" store, allowing users to purchase either individual tracks or whole albums for direct delivery to their phone. However, Ovi Music still sells music with DRM, something I hope Nokia will move away from as soon as is practical. Finally, there is the radio receiver application; as ever though, a wired headset is required to act as an antenna. Also disappointing here is the lack of any internet radio application for streaming audio from the internet. This isn't specific to the C6, as Internet Radio has been missing from all of Nokia's S60 5th Edition (and some Eseries 3rd Edition) devices."
