Nokia X6 review: Going up the ladder

18 January 2010
In the world of Nokia it's all about evolution, rather than revolution. So don't expect the specs on the X6 to blow your mind. The handset is the next step for the market leader scrambling to make up for a late start in touch- screens. To be honest, the Symbian S60 touch...

      The Nokia X6 is has a large memory of 16GB and thus this allows you to store a lot of music to listen to, store photos and also movies to get you entertained for a very long time. Another thing that makes this phone very navigable while browsing the internet is that it comes with a touch-capable screen. http://www.techsoft.org/category/gadgets

                Its not a worth giving phone. I am using it for last 4 months.
                Battery life just ok. Drains out in a day with normal uses.

                Main disappointing thing: It hangs here and there.When browsing it automatically closes applications. you will not be able to listen music so longer when browsing. User interface is same as in 5800 and E series phones.
                GPRS very slow and hangs alot.

                music is just ok.
                You will get much better phones in the same price.

                  I've been using a Palm Pre for the past year so have fallen in love with its fabulous WebOS system - as good as that of the IPhone - but the hardware was suspect, even with its really useful REAL typepad and almost perfect "swipe" system.

                  The volume rocker knob finally died, but the final straw for me however was the absolutely terrible battery life.

                  I was due an upgrade and couldn't afford an IPhone so felt that I'd give Symbian one more try with the X6.

                  The things I miss most are the pinch-to-zoom feature, the swipe system and a true typepad. Scrolling is a little slow and clunky but not too bad. Most of all you never quite know when to single or double-click......


                  The BIG BIG issue for me was no threaded SMS program. Going back to the default Symbian way of texting felt like going back to the Dark Ages so I've bought a perfect app called Thread SMS which solves ALL the problems and cost £4. Shame Nokia seems to have given up on this idea for the time being.

                  Things I love:
                  1/ having free satnav with OviMaps
                  2/ MailForExchange for my Google calendar sync (although there are just as good clients for other systems out there)
                  3/ Opera Mini is a damn good browser once you customize it and get used to it
                  4/ Shazam as standard
                  5/ Really good battery life
                  6/ Generally it works better at making/taking calls (an underestimated feature these days!

                    i have been using x6 for nearly 2 months now.... and my experience has been kinda mixed. its not a ground breaking revolutionary phone that will blow your mind away but it will definitely wont disappoint you.
                    Pros- i think the bst part about this phone is its camera, good resolution, good clarity, the sound on the headphones is very good but the loudspeaker kinda sucks. the screen is 3.2" and responsive.
                    cons- qwerty keypad is messaging is useless(at least 4 me i found the keys too close), no search option in music player, s you have to scroll down everytime you have to hear your fav song, then i found that the interface was too simple if i am coughing up 15000 bucks for a phone i would expect interface to be at least a little more stylish.

                    so basically if u want a good quality multimedia phone with all the basic features x6 is for you but if you are looking for some thing flashy and stylish i thing u may b disappointed.
                    i'll rate it a solid 7/10

                            i have both n97 and new x6, these phones are quite good. ive been using x6 for 3 weeks now, its just like using my n97 minus the sliding full keyboard. the phone responsiveness is better than my old 5800. nokia is going the right way in the touch screen war....

                              X6 is much better as compared to Nokia 5800. And it is the best buy phone available in market who wants Symbian phone. And i am never wrong

                                        i use both nokia n97 mini and nokia x6. Comparatively i will never suggest any frnd to buy nokia x6. I really find it NOT AT ALL USER FRIENDLY. Personally my favourite is nokia n97.
                                        X6 looks amazing on the pack but in reality it is hopeless. I would never ever suggest my frndz or family to purchase it.
