Nokia Launches New Symbian Smartphones

from WSJ:

>>Nokia Corp. (NOK) Tuesday launched three new smartphones to join its flagship N8 model, and announced upgrades to its developer tools as it looks to regain ground lost against rivals in the high-end phone market.

The world's biggest handset maker announced details of the E7, C7 and new C6, alongside the N8, at its annual Nokia World event, all based on its new Symbian operating platform, which Nokia said has more than 250 new features and improvements compared with the old system.

We’ve had the Nokia C6 – Nokia’s new mid-range smartphone – for a couple of days now, and the more we use it the more it impresses. It had a lot to live up to, following in the footsteps of the Nokia N97 Mini, but we think it delivers. Find out why in our Nokia C6 review…

The Nokia C6 is a 3.2-inch touchscreen smartphone with a sliding QWERTY keyboard. It sits in the middle of Nokia’s smartphone range, so it’s packed with features, but uses slightly cheaper materials to keep costs down. As such, it’s a bit of a bargain.

The 3.2-inch screen is the same panel as you’ll find on the Nokia N97 Mini, with bright colours and sharp images. It’s great for web browsing, and we also found it responsive – although the haptic feedback – with the handset vibrating when you tap the screen – won’t suit everybody.
