One of the most exciting QWERTY handsets by Nokia ‘C6’ has become a major focus of attention for lots of people just from the time when it was showed up to the whole world. The company has recently announced that the C6 is now available for sale in the online shops in UK and thus this amazing handsets has landed on the shores of Britain’s online market.

This mobile phone was actually some days ago and now the company has made it completely official so that the further rumors can be prevented. The price as announced for the handset without sim is £289.

The C6 is one of the very beautiful handsets by Nokia which is coming with a large and bright display screen and along with QWERTY keyboard and according to the company’s promises the handset will support all kind of email services.

Mark Loughran, managing director, Nokia UK while discussing about this new handsets said that “The Nokia C6 offers style and connectivity. Whether it’s via email, the web, social networks or IM, you are always connected”.

The providers of Nokia C6 are going to be Vodafone, T-Mobile and Carphone Warehouse and it is also promised that some more promoters will be announced very soon.

Apart from Apple, Nokia is a major developer that brings mobile phones with internal antenna, in the response to Apple’s claim Nokia came out quite defensive and in a statement it was said that “As we’ve all seen, Apple had mentioned Nokia in their press conference today regarding the iPhone 4”.

Further this statement came from Nokia’s side that “Antenna design is a complex subject and has been a core competence at Nokia for decades, across hundreds of phone models. Nokia was the pioneer in internal antennas; the Nokia 8810, launched in 1998, was the first commercial phone with this feature”.

This claim by Apple has also hit the HTC and from their side this statement came that “We have had very few complaints about signal or antenna problems on the Eris”. Thus a single statement by Apple has made all the other antenna mobile developers quite defensive for their devices and they all have tried to prove Apple wrong that other phones in the market are also having antenna problem.

According to a research from IDG, almost 12.2 million mobile phones have been sold in Q1 and Nokia has seen its sales down to 9.1million which is really surprising. The Nokia’s sale decline is really strange as this company has always being the leading one in the industry and this year due to any reason it has came down from Samsung.

This was the story of Samsung and Nokia but after a closer look towards the sale of other companies you’ll come to know that most of them like Sony Ericson and LG re struggling to regain their high sale rate which was once the glory of those companies. Though a little downside is faced by some companies still we can’t say that the overall sales rate of mobile phones in the world is not falling in fact it is increasing almost 8% per year.

Recently, more and more mobile phone manufacturing companies are selecting Android operating system instead of any other rival OS. The open source nature of Android apps is one basic reason for this selection. Samsung has been doing the same for some time, and now it has come up with one of the best smartphones ever made; the Galaxy S. This 4” big screen has a lot to boast at; let us have a look at its specs and features.
