Nokia announces fair and square X5-01 plus Nokia X6 8GB

14 June, 2010
Today at Nokia Connection event in Singapore Nokia presented Nokia X5-01 - a rather unusually shaped squarish slider with a full QWERTY keyboard. Nokia also refreshed Nokia X6 with a new 8GB version.

ladies and gentlemen, the razzie awards of the mobile industry presents, the top three ugliest phones of the year:
1. the "bold" but not-so-beautiful blackberry clamshell.
2. the X10 divided by half = X5.
3. the microsoft kin one - truly goes to show that appearance is indicative of substance sometimes.
there's a very fine line between a groundbreaking design and an awkward one, which designers tread dangerously and then just end up plunging, or rather, slipping into one of the pools.

    Anonymous, 14 Jun 2010I'm sorry but how did Nokia follow apple by making 8GB,16GB... moreno apple did not invent those numbers, first mobile phone with internal memory as from Nokia N91, and samsung 8gb. apple wasnt in mobile market in those days.

              I think X6 is best ever design from Nokia , although i personally use Xperia X10 , but in the range of Nokia, No doubt it is the best ever design i have seen these days,If u have to blame anything, it is
              1)Old hardware
              2)Orthodox OS
              3)Slow touch responce
              4)Limited Software
              5)Slow gallery.
              Otherwise its Good.
              No doubt the after sale service in Kolkata is awesome.

                      It looks like a squished X3...

                      But feature wise it seems ok. Considering this is going cheaper than the X6 it does not seem bad with the QWERTY and 5mp and all.

                          Nokia N91 4GB and Nokia N91 8GB...

                            Nokia X5-01 reminds me a Ritter Sport chocolate commercial on german TV - quadratisch, praktisch, gut ;-)))

                                  Did apple invented those numbers? Those numbers are inevitable in memory.
