Internet & ConnectivityThe Nokia browser has been updated with each new Symbian OS installment and the experience only gets better. There obviously are other browsers available, but the speed and options on this one is just without match. The browser...

Overall the phone looks stylish and good in hand and comes packed with some great features. However, being on a symbian platform it gives quite a boring and common user interface, but it cannot be considered as a bad buy. Nokia X6 is available for Rs....

The Nokia X6 looks great, comes with tonnes of storage and has a decent onscreen keyboard. There's also a plethora of multimedia features and an excellent onboard camera. We're not too thrilled with the user interface, however, and using the X6...

The Nokia X6 is priced at Rs. 15,999 which puts it squarely amidst other phones such as the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini and the upcoming HTC Wildfire. On its own, the Nokia X6 is a great multimedia device that has a couple of niggles with respect...

Like a good rock and roll groupie, the latest version of the Nokia X6 smartphone is sexy, well connected and has a love of music.It might not have the same wow factor as an Apple iPhone but with a RRP of $849 it’s a little cheaper and will still...

The Nokia X6 is sold officially for Rs. 16,499 (although you can get it for about thousand rupees less). At that price you get a music phone with a 3.2", 640 x 360 pixel capacitive touchscreen display, 5 megaixel camera with autofocus and flash, 16GB...

We're just not inspired by the X6 White. While there is no one major flaw (although the hardware leaves plenty to be desired), there are so many little issues that the overall experience is irreversibly tainted.Add your own review »ReviewUser...

Nokia’s first capacitive touch-screen phone, the Nokia X6 is a great upgrade for folks who loved the Nokia 5800. In the mobile phone business, we call bar-shaped phones “candy bars,” and the X6 is shaped more like a candy-bar than...

The X6 as a phone The Nokia X6 music mobile has 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a GPS chip to ensure stable operation in connected mode. It holds onto network coverage fairly well, notably thanks to 3G. The X6 is perfectly fine for talking and making calls,...

Intro The X6 16GB is fairly easy to summarise, thankfully, if you're in something of a hurry. Think of the Nokia 5800 and then slim the front down from a chunky resistive touchscreen (with surround) to a sleek glass capacitive affair. Then give the...

The X6 delivers first-class features in a second-rate package. The excellent camera and media player are tarnished by a clunky on-screen keyboard and a sometimes confusing user...

The X6 brings the first capacitive touchscreen on a Nokia smartphone, but this handset is ultimately let down by questionable build quality and a user interface that is neither attractive or user friendly....

N okia has already addressed music fans with the XpressMusic phones, but now we can also enjoy the special X-series. The Nokia X6 is the first phone from this series that we have reviewed. The first impression was a bit disappointing, especially...
