So okay, it’s obvious that Nokia’s sale of the Nokia C6 is in direct competition with the LG Optimus One we reported earlier. Same date, same time, same locations and even almost same price.
So, why don’t we put it to a vote? Who’s lining up for which sale this Saturday? Is it the LG sale or is it the Nokia sale? Just leave a comment below to be counted.
But if you’re still undecided, here’s a run-down of their features.

If you’re asking for my opinion, go grab both units if you have the money. Then, you can sell the other one if you don’t like it — at a profit too! *heh*
Minsan lang kasi yung ganitong sale kahit siguro mag christmas sale di ganito kababa ang prices. Yeah
LG! pag hindi nakaabot, sa Nokia na lang. :)
Well, it’s really comparing Apples (pun intended) to Oranges. The iPhone 4 and the Optimus One as well as the Nokia C6 are on different price points and feature levels. Now I won’t call people who buy inexpensive phones “cheapipoys” as it is definitely wise and practical to only live within your means. If that’s what you can afford, then good for you that you’ve gotten something that would normally be out of your reach, whatever you pick.
But by the same token, please don’t call iPhone owners like me as “nagpa-uto”. We can afford to buy it. And for those in the know, we can maximize the capability and potential of our investment. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.
To return to the topic at hand, I will be trying my hand at getting an Optimus One. I’ve tried Symbian phones already so I’ll pass on the C6 (although it definitely beats the N73 which was the last Symbian OS device I owned). I’ve heard a lot of good things about Android so I’m willing to part with my 6,500 to get a good entry level unit with Froyo.
wow, LG parin ako coz it’s 2.2 Android and capacitive vs. C6 w/c is resistive.. pero if you are asking which brand is better, obviously Nokia parin.
ok back to topic..
@Pulubi
You missed the “if” there. “IF” he can afford it, good for him. :))
Pero am I the only one who noticed this? Na may gusto lang mamahiya at sumira dun sa Paolo Lumadao by using his name and even going too far as to post his FB page and email address.
Oh well. At the very least, I’m not buying that person’s mediocrity. :)
tama ka Pach Pach, good advice
@boyboy
If you want free offline navigation via Ovi Maps then go for the C6. It is relatively painless.
The GPS unit of the LG Optimus One can also display GPS locations and maps, presumably using Google Maps, or a third party app. Nokia’s Ovi Maps are preloaded so you save on bandwidth (that is, 3G/Internet rates), unlike in Google Maps where they need to be downloaded.
karamihan sa atin mga Pinoy pa-sosyal kahit gutom, mahilig sa Apple pero hanggang doon lang ang pera wala na pang “rainy days”. dapat practical tayo para di tayo mamulubi.
c6… for the camera…the qwerty…
^ well he can afford it, good for him, huwag nalang nya sanang tawaging “CHEAPIPOYS” yung mga taong hindi nagpa-uto kay iPhone . . buying cheaper phones that can match or even outdo the capability of iPhones is not being CHEAP, its called being practical and giving value to your money even if you can afford buying a hundred iPhones . . ^_^
back to the topic . . Froyo FTW! ^_^
Obvious naman na loser yung nagpapanggap na Paolo Lumadao. I can see him using the name only to defame the person. How low can one go? Ask the person behind the post. You’ll get a definite answer.
Of course the iPhone 4 is miles apart from this phone, kasi I believe this is an ENTRY LEVEL Android phone from LG, whereas iPhone 4 is a “premium” device (or so they claim).
I bet you don’t even have an iPhone 4. Dream on, bub.
Android Froyo is definitely beating Apple iOS!!!

@Paolo Lumadao (Bentong Look-a-like)
Eeeeeeewwww! Bumili ka ng iPhone 4?! Bro, “Price is what you pay, value is what you get”. Isa ka sa mga taong na-uto ni Steve Jobs. LULZ! You had to pay around 45k just to get that “overly-hyped” smartphone, well guess what? I’ll be getting mine for 6.5k. HAHAHAHAHA! Android 2.2 FROYO FOR YAH KID!!!
