For many Nokia has lost the way, taken the wrong path, and been out-played and out-manoeuvred by virtually every other phone manufacturer in the business. So can the new X6, a new capacitive touchscreen Comes With Music handset be the hidden gem, in what has been a rather disappointing year of product launches?
Coming in from the leftfield as a kinda replacement or upgrade for the Nokia XpressMusic 5800. The Nokia X6 is the first X-series handset and presumably the new brand name for the XpressMusic range. With that in mind you get a 3.2-inch, 360 x 640 pixel, wide touchscreen display that in physical terms is as long as the Apple iPhone, but two-thirds of the width.
In use and the screen is responsive and easy to use. There is zero lag, and because it is capacitive rather than resistive, it doesn't require you to push on the screen or use a stylus.
Beneath the screen are three physical push buttons which offer call, hang-up and menu access. Like the Nokia 5800 you get a small touch-sensitive "quick menu" button at the top of the screen for accessing music, photos, sharing content, video and the Internet quickly. Above that there is a forward-facing camera for video calling (handy for applications like Fring).
The sides sport the usual array of dedicated camera shutter button, volume controls and a locking switch so you don't find yourself making calls from the depths of your pocket. There is a 3.5mm audio jack.
