Which is better Smartphone HTC ChaCha or Nokia E6

HTC ChaCha vs Nokia E6

HTC ChaCha and Nokia E6 are the smartphones that are very close in their specification and features but different in brands. Both of them have similar look, similar QWERTY keyboard and screen sizes. Both of them were announced during very close time period, i.e. early in 2011. As I am also a big fan of QWERTY keyboard as I have hands on experience on Nokia E71 and E72, so I thought to compare latest offers from HTC and Nokia with each other. The comparison would not go long in speach but it would be a specification comparison like the one I did for iPhone 4 and Desire HD.

This time I have tried a new format. Below is the table that shows specification of both smartphones ChaCha and E6 and in the next column you will find my comments. You will find a shade of green color in the row where I gave more rating to HTC ChaCha and Where Nokia E6 has more rating the row color would be a shade of pink. However where row color is white or no-color, it means none of the smartphones have any advantage over other one. Finally I must say, it is a Human compiled comparison so there might be a chance of error. So please correct me if you find something to correct.

Beside a few advantages of Nokia E6 over HTC ChaCha I must say HTC ChaCha is a better smartphone than Nokia E6. The best thing in ChaCha is Operating system advantage. Android operating system is growing quickly these days. It has a huge collection of apps at Android market. That is much much better than Nokia Ovi Store as per my opinion. Nokia must think of improving their operating system to something that is now in. Let's see what nokia will do in future. At the end I must say thanks to GSM Arena for providing me the specification of both these devices.

  6. missed the pentaband advantage which puts e6 over the top. also the keyboard is tried and true beating BB for 3 years now. All the required business apps are the same between android and Anna so there is no advantage for either in that department.

    also missed the advantage of a better maps and gprs system nokia owns.

  7. you forgot to mention the talk time in 2g where nokia has a huge lead: 14 h vs chacha with 7,5
    also nokia has better quality components. for example wireless signal is much stronger on the e6 than chacha, voice quality also is better. i tested both, you type easier on the chacha because there are spaces between the buttons. as for apps, the android market has endeed a lot of them in comparison with ovi, but most of them are customizations stuff. if you use your phone for texting navigation and talking i believe the e6 is the better option. also battery lasts longer on the e6 (symbian be it dying, has years of developmnet and is optimized for battery saving) and it feels nicer

  8. what a crap competition nokia e6 is far better then htc cha-cha

    nokia e6 beat this crap phone in every ground i prove it in my comment and personally i think yasir bhai your are not techie

    because you said cha-cha has big screen but i prove nokia e6 screen is far better to this crap phone

    prove no.1
    can you remember what the meaning of low screen size to big resolution it mean any photo and video are more clear in nokia e6

    prove no.2
    nokia e6 16M Colors means 16,777,216 colors in tech language its mean 16 million

    htc cha-cha 256K Colors means 262,144 colors in tech language its mean 256 thousand

    example just change angle from both side then you know what i was saying

    you also said that At 30fps video recording gives better results.

    now i think you are not knowledgeable because nokia e6 video recording is 720p @25fps mean hd recording means 1280x720 pixels and with h264 codec like bluray
    which means again in video recording nokia e6 beats htc

    and now sadly you are zero in mathematics because you only said that

    Dimensions:

    ChaCha is 114.4 x 64.6 x 10.7 mm

    nokia e6 is 115.5 x 59 x 10.5 mm
    then how you said ChaCha is slim and compact.

    and wifi hotspot app is freely preinstalled in my e6 it means e6 has wifi hotspot even nokia website also write that

    nokia e6 has even better office document editor ok

    and you not notice one thing like pc nokia e6 has gpu means graphic card and htc cha-cha not had so its not good graphics on photo and video

    one thing i whish to tell you you said dying symbian can u tell me that can you listen about virus malware torjans are effects faster on android but not in symbian belle os

    htc has only two things is which is better than nokia e6
    1 processor 2 ram

    but nokia has almost better in 1 screen, 2 camra, 3 video recording, 4 memory storage, 5 3g intenet speed, 6 more slim and compact, 7 battery, 8 and main price

    and dude 1st you get full information then write it

  9. Sahil, although you did a good review and I appreciate it. However you probably didn't read my post well.

    I mentioned about High Screen resolution of Nokia E6 above. Also 30fps means less flickering. Only a high resolution video is not the proof of a better quality video.

    HTC ChaCha has a little bend in middle of it. When you hold it in your hands Vs Nokia E6 you will find it compact and it is also light weight.

  10. sorry yasir bro i dissagreed again i think good video quality made from 2 quality 1st its resolution 2nd its codec and last

    i told 720p @25fps mean hd recording means 1280x720 pixels and with h264 codec like bluray

    1st h264 is a father off all codec
    2nd 720p means 1280x720 pixels hd
    3rd the where you watch the stuff

    yasir bro trust me or not what ever
    if video written 720p hd @25 fps resolution with h264 codec then

    its far better than the video file which written in 720x480 pixels @ 30fps called sd a normal mp4 not h264 never beat

    and the phone is holding in my hand has a terrific build qaulity that feel good for me

    and at last

    bro in india a quote is very popular for build quality of phone maybe its same popular in pakistaan.....!

    when a mobile is fall to ground then people's are asking that the mobile is nokia then don't worry if not then check it its proper working or not

    if i hurt you in my review of language then i'am verry sorry

  14. @Sahil - Dude watever you know - whether right or wrong - everything must be present in a good impressive and in a decent way. So before going to write for any post, better you learn some writing skills.

    Your attitude is saying it all tht you own nokia E6 and you cannot hear anethin less for it. This attitude should be change first of all.

    This blog is just for basic comparison ignoring the fact tht who owns chacha and who owns nokia E6.

    And last any comparison is not completed widout its price range. You better check the price range of both phones and then learn to rate the product. If you ever read the tech magazines (digit etc), they just dont rate any product higher just for higher specs, rating is to be done considering all facts. Wats d use suppose nokia introduce a smartphone beating every other phone in world but costs for 2Lac. It wont be a hit rather a big big flop.

    So try to put your knowledge and opinion widout ane biasing.

  15. @mahendra - dude
    1st of all dude i'am not rating the product even i'am not reviewing any product i'am just proving that nokia e6 is far better than htc chacha as per technical aspect because the admin didn't compare properly and may wrong in technical basis

    and bro u r saying about reviewing or rating website u are thinking right i'am never read those webs because those are giving paid reviews

    i'am in IT field and i have a lot tech knowledge so when the talks about technology i believe in me

    and sorry to say u that u guys are not tech knowledgeable people's so that's why you going website's for getting knowledge

    and if u have problem with my camparison then prove me wrong but please don't divert the topic

    and the topic is Which is better Smartphone HTC ChaCha or Nokia E6

    bye and allah hafiz
