Initial impression of the Nokia C6-01 is almost all good. It's solid, looks good, easy to use, battery life is remarkable.

Problems, perhaps unavoidable: a bit too chunky/heavy (for its size), the screen is not really big enough for mail and web reading, and the on-screen non-Querty keyboard is very 20th century (to get the letter C, you press the ABC key three times... oh, please!)

To its credit, Nokia made enlarging the font easy enough, but then you have to keep going back and forth to continue reading.

I can't blame the C6 for not being a tablet, but I wonder if I should just rely on my Kindle Fire for web & mail, and not bother with a smartphone.

Another problem, a big one: the screen does not respond to fingernail or stylus, only fingertips - this is stated in the user guide, but I didn't think much of it...until now.

Just spent 15 very frustrating minutes at Starbucks, trying to go on WiFi, unable to click on the box required to accept the AT&T terms. I finally had to give up because nothing worked; if fingernails were acceptable, there wouldn't have been a problem.

For anyone with "normal" fingers, this could be a deal-breaker.
