HTC ChaCha
Nokia E6
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.
HTC is the King Of Smartphones.
ReplyDeleteHTC ChaCha is looking good, but Nokia is an well known Brand, That's why I'll go for Nokia E6...
ReplyDelete@DJ ARIF
ReplyDeleteNokia is popular brand only in Pakistan now. HTC is better option than nokia These days.
e6 gets the job done. Whether indoor or outside
ReplyDeleteu r wrong e6 is more slim than cha cha, but i agree cha cha is better than e6!
ReplyDeletegreat post... thanks
ReplyDeletemissed 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.
ReplyDeletealso missed the advantage of a better maps and gprs system nokia owns.
but i love to buy htc chacha
ReplyDeletecha cha is great phone
ReplyDeleteyou forgot to mention the talk time in 2g where nokia has a huge lead: 14 h vs chacha with 7,5
ReplyDeletealso 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
what a crap competition nokia e6 is far better then htc cha-cha
ReplyDeletenokia 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

Sahil, although you did a good review and I appreciate it. However you probably didn't read my post well.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
sorry yasir bro i dissagreed again i think good video quality made from 2 quality 1st its resolution 2nd its codec and last
ReplyDeletei 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

@Sahil
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy. Your point is stronger than that of mine. I would appriciate if you write for my blog on technology and smartphones topics.
dj phenom Nigeria, no knowledge is absolute... I agree with sahil in all ramifications.
ReplyDeleteDj phenom. Nigeria, no knowledge is absolute... I agree with sahil in all ramifications
ReplyDelete@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.
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
@mahendra - dude
ReplyDelete1st 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
the sahil-india

ReplyDeletego for E6
ReplyDeletei like E6 much more than Chacha
