Sale Vote: LG Optimus One vs. Nokia C6

Listen to article

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.

LG Optimus One P500
3.2″ capacitive display @ 320×480 pixels
600 MHz Processor
512MB RAM
170MB internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD
HSDPA 7.2Mbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth 2.1
3.15MP autofocus camera
Stereo FM Radio
GPS w/ aGPS support
1500mAh Li-Ion battery
Android 2.2 Froyo
Sale Price: Php6,495

Nokia C6
ARM 11 434MHz processor
3.2″ resistive touchscreen @ 360×640 pixels
QWERTY slider keyboard
240MB internal memory
up to 16GB via microSD (2GB included)
HSDPA 3.6Mbps
WiFI 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth 2.0
5MP autofocus camera w/ LED flash
FM Radio
GPS w/ aGPS support
Li-Ion 1200mAh battery
Symbian OS v9.4, Series 60 rel. 5
Sale Price: Php6,490

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*

Where is the pole? Hehe! Siyempre Optimus Prime tayo. Ume-epal lang ang Nokia kase ayaw nilang magpatalo kahit obvious naman sa screen technology at OS pa lang, olats na sila. Hehehe!

LG does have the advantage here. But we have to give credit to Nokia. It’ll take a bit more time for that unit to drop its price to that level. Hehe.

Anyhow, para sa mga hindi papalarin sa LG sale (but I do hope palarin lahat), you have the option to buy the C6. :)

It’s a good thing Nokia came up with something to compete with the price drop promotion, but for someone so familiar and bored with Symbian I think I want something fresh and new, and that’s Android! LG Optimus One for me…

Nice strategy by Nokia. But LG has the advantage since it is releasing a new phone than Nokia C6.

Nokia might be useful for a car-mounted Ovi Maps device as opposed to a dedicated device, but for overall I’ll go with LG’s Android.

Great advise, Abe. Get both and sell the other one. But be sure to be on time at the same place. Good thing is that Nokia’s sale duration is longer than LG’s – pretty good lead time yun para lumipat sa isa pang shop. Best thing to do is to ask someone to line up for you at the other shop. Lol!

As for me, I’d pick the Nokia C6.

LG. I’m kind of wondering why Nokia still chooses to have a Symbian OS when everybody else is going for app-loaded operating systems. =|

There’s absolutely no contest.

Symbian and Nokia are dying and it would take a miracle to turn things around.
