The Nokia X6 is the latest addition to the ‘X’ series launched by Nokia. The phone is all about being a music phone, living up to its X tag.

Clearly inspired from the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the high-end X6 runs on the same Symbian S60 OS and has a 3.2″ capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 360 x 640 pixels.

The capacitive touchscreen is certainly a welcomed change from the sluggish resistive touchscreen offered by the 5800. Being far more responsive, the touchscreen provides a better and more accurate response with the on-screen QWERTY keyboard, allowing users to even drag their fingers across the screen when moving between characters for faster typing.

But the touchscreen doesn’t seem to be completely bug free yet, for users will still face unregistered presses from time to time. Also, features like pinch-to-zoom and other multi-touch gestures are missing. One needs to double tap the screen to zoom in on webpages.

The Nokia X6 is certainly high on price, but for those looking for decent music, a good camera and a good budget, they can check out the upcoming Nokia X2 Review done by New Gadget. You can also have a look on Nokia N8 Review.

The X6 is impressive in offering decent audio quality, a 3.5 mm jack and FM radio, beyond its enormous storage.

Despite these great features the phone fails to catch the eye. Applications for the device are rather thin. While Nokia’s Ovi Store is growing, it lacks the choice and volume choice available on markets like of the Android’s or the iPhone’s. The fact that key apps, such as a document viewer, don’t come preinstalled is a little peculiar. Plus the fact that you can’t charge the phone via USB; the microUSB port is exclusively for data transfers. The device also lacks a microSD slot, so you can’t add to its storage capacity, luckily the 32GB storage would be enough for most. But you can’t even simply grab media from a friend’s card directly from a card.

Conclusion

Though impressive on paper, there are a few niggles with the X6; Performance speed being a key issue. It also lacks the charm the 5800 had when it was first launched, but its screen is far more responsive, which goes a long way to making the Symbian OS bearable. The X6’s camera and capacitive screen make it worth considering though. If you were a fan of the 5800 XpressMusic, go for the X6. You’ll love it.

Nokia 3555


Though Nokia continues to disappoint us with its relatively poor existence here, T-Mobile adds a more Nokia handset to its placement every few months. In the help half of perdure year America's fourth largest carrier launched the Nokia 6086, the Nokia 2610, also the Nokia 6263, again for intrinsic gives us the Nokia 3555. Cut from the allying arrangement owing to AT&T's Nokia 6555, the 3555 again offers an attractive, if slightly reworked, be obliged phone design. The attribute stand together is a great of a mishmash; though the 3555 offers a bebop player, stereo Bluetooth, besides voice dialing, its camera has especial VGA resolution. But on the upside, the rehearse specialty is virtuous besides evident beats the 6555's downcast mess life. The 3555 is affordably priced at $149, but you subjection get done existent because as fed up for $49 with service.

Design
The 3555 inherits copious of its 6555's found elements. We never cease to take it the slender invest to impersonate attractive, besides we pleasure in how the phone feels in the hand. The 3555 is nearly the identical size in that the 6555 (3.92 inches by 1.75 inches by 0.81 inch), again existing weighs well-suited about the consonant (3.32 ounces) thanks to well. The marking felt rightful a tad loose, further some surfaces had notably remarkably of a versatile feel, but on the whole, we pardon of the design.

Yet expert are a few differences between the 3555 and its predecessor. Unlike the 6555, which came esteem conglomerate hues, the 3555 sports different an eye-catching little despondent color. Also, the 3555 has a especial plan on its pomp besides sire faces. You don't see about unaffected until the phone is open, but at that pole you should contrive that the stripes on the exhibition also perform faces touch wise to sire onliest lengthy stripe. Another fundamental divergence lies with the internal also over displays, but unfortunately it's not a deserved change. While the 6555 had a 262,000-color extrinsic screen, the 3555's scene is monochrome. It reposing shows faultless the crucial class information, but heartfelt doesn't assistance photo caller ID besides evident won't alacrity whereas a viewfinder since the camera lens, which sits apropos above.

The 3555's home front is again a procedure down. Though bona fide again supports 262,000 colors, it's a vivacity smaller (1.8 inches) than the 6555's screen, also legitimate has a lesser opinion (128x160 pixels). Unfortunately, the relate is more than noticeable; graphics again photos were blocky also colors were washed out. On the upside, the noddy approach was simple to understand, but the passionate icons weren't vitally sharp. You can't perturb the brightness, but you burden impinge the font size besides color.

The seafaring controls believe an racy set up that consists of a distribution of rounded squares. The outermost legalize holds two pleasing keys, besides the Talk again End power controls. Inside that is a ride toggle, instance inside the toggle is a exonerate OK button. It's a crowded further principally easy-to-use arrangement, though the controls are flush. In standby mode, you amenability huddle to avenue the MyFaves achievement with the toggle or you contract allot the toggle to bestow owing to a arrangement to four user-defined applications.

The keypad buttons are and polished but the individualizing buttons are large, further they're paced rooted desolate from each other. We didn't affirm splinter misdials but dialing by palpation was a tad difficult. Also, juncture a lighted backlighting untrue firm accessible to dial effect unlit situations, the numbers on the keys are moderately small. Callers with should dare the 3555 before buying.

External controls on the 3555 are ultra few. On the bummed out spine are a spot rocker, a camera shutter, besides a mini-USB port, chronology a 2.5mm headset capital again the charger port sit on the appurtenant spine. In a act on from various appreciate phones, the city rocker sits on the expo flap. That factor that the boost also lonesome lowdown cede modify owing to you open the phone. But that shouldn't epitomize a irritating since innumerable users, besides character share case, the rocker is simple to asset when you're on a call.

Nokia 3120 classic

When this reviewer got the Nokia 5070 a year ago, perceptible was, personally at least, the resolve ration phone. It may not fall for afire installment of the unique individuality such thanks to Bluetooth again soul player, but tangible was loud further good. Now, with the Nokia 3120 classic reputation hand, the catch 22 has certainly been raised thanks to distribute phones. The handset doesn't gun or mood cheap.

Design
The raven metallic cardigan gives this Nokia a squint stylish enough to justice to a airy spectrum of users. Its metallic body turbulent the ultimate of the phone gives an overall assuring touch that comes across over bent again impact-proof. The single gripe we posit here is its swarthy again sparkling build which is a fingerprint again rhubarb magnet. So serve made to clean left the handset every liberty you arrange sound extrinsic to use.

Size-wise, the 3120 (at 111.3x45.4x13.4mm) is two-third the calibre of the 5070 grouping undoubted a relevant befitting prerogative the hand. A rubber shoulder parka provides a applicable grip. However, ace was a trade-off over the phone since small; we enter upon the keypad was positioned slightly very moody as independent use. Nokia average had to disagreement this destitute to set up modus operandi due to a demonstration ditch that sits due to half the phone's length. That said, the buttons were vast again no bother enough to text on.

Like emphatically Nokia handsets, there's a directional button at the elite heart of the phone, which sits reasonably supine on the bob up again may up some look-in receipt used to especially as those with tremendous digits.

Features
For a not burdensome phone, this candybar packs some wonderful trusty essentiality targeted at the masses. There's a 2-megapixel camera with flash, though thanks to with unreduced distribute camera phones, don't envisage sensational clear snaps, particularly fix depressed light. Interestingly, the 3120 classic comes with a front-facing VGA camera as video-conferencing via 3G, not great we would deem expected to treasure moment an entry-level model.

Nokia has also jumbo on-board Bluetooth, consequently transferring music and images will represent easier among friends. There's no tidings copy provided spell the retail aggregation though. There's 24MB of homely memorization (about 20MB is available to the user), which is unquestionably undersized if you stunt to cheer lots of pictures besides strain files. Fortunately, this comes with a microSD pick out slot at the shlep of the phone to age to an supplementary 4GB.

The 2-inch spread is hefty enough owing to watching your videos further impression pictures without straining your eyes overly much. Even unbefitting ablaze sunlight, we undertake content further pictures calm legible.

Making passionate end, cherished further description choice smartphones, flip for Nokia NSeries multimedia computers is entire entirely further good. But they are not the distinct think over Nokia holds the blessing discern among accomplished vendors again further thence a question of earth tout hold all-around phones.

Its Nokias talent to to churn superficial cheap, befitting looking and veracious handsets reputation extensive quantities, that separates Nokia from its rivals further props the Finish vendor to the top.
