The X6 is the first handset in Nokia's newly launched X Series of music phones and is now available for developers who want to test their new mobile applications on Perfecto Mobile’s Handset Cloud Service.
Nokia X6The smartphone is an upgrade of the Nokia 5800 and is part of a range created to simplify Nokia's XpressMusic offerings.
According to NokNok.tv, the new capacitive screen of the X6 is incredibly responsive. “It hardly ever – if at all – is missing a beat, meaning that tapping out a text message or working your way through a full email is easier than you’ll find on other handsets.”
The commentator goes further to applaud the loud and meaty sound quality, the 32GB storage for music, and the fact that the music player embeds itself on the Home screen as soon as you start it up. Moreover, he notes, that once you’ve set up your CWM account you can either copy music directly from your laptop or use the Nokia Store app on the phone to get hold of tracks.
The excitement is also shared by TechRadar who praises the stylus – free full touch screen and that all on-screen buttons are sensibly-sized for fingertips. At the same time, he notes that users should not to be tricked by the seemingly long 3.5 inch diagonal of the screen since in physical terms the device might be as long as the Apple iPhone, but only two-thirds of its width.
Another commentator at Pocket-lint agrees adds that you’ll get most of the apps that you want or need, including Amazon, MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, AccuWeather and plenty more, via the Ovi store, but "it doesn’t have the wow factor that many rivals do.”
He notes in addition that the 5-megapixel autofocus camera with a Carl Zeiss Tessar F/2.8 – 5.2 lens is “certainly not as good as other camera-focused handsets in the Nokia range and that It’s also slow to respond with many of our shots catching people turning their heads.”
