Nokia X6

My x6 arrived on wednesday evening, not sure what to make of it, dissspointed with the battery life though, also finding typing on the qwerty keyboard very tricky, think i,m going to have to get one of those capacative styluses. Nice phone, may just take a while to get used to it.

That's awesome that you're loving it.

I'm a bit envious of your connection. On my Nokia, I only had 3G, not 3.5 and I'm only about forty minutes from you, out in Nassau County on the south shore, Massapequa.

I just received a Samsung Hd i8910, that also runs Symbian S60v5, and I'm counting myself lucky it even connects to 3G (on the 1900 band only).

It must have been because I have been listening to a lot of music on the X6, both through headphones and streamed using BT through my car stereo.

i'm about to move on from my x6 but I'd like to get voip working. I tried the directions in the sticky and after i install the updated internet telephone settings the internet telephone icon/selection still doesn't show up in my settings, suck. Anybody have any thoughts? It's supposed so work for the n97 and the about page in the nokia support site claims that all s60 devices support internet calling. Anybody got any ideas?

That bug was fixed on the firmware that shipped with the 16GB units I heard.

So your X6 doesn't crash after playing music for a while? I guess AAS has a bad review example, which I suspect to be so.

I guess everyone views their phones differently. I have not had one issue with memory on the X6.

The 5800 was a joke, but I gave them some slack because it was their 1st S60V5 phone. I remember going to the Nokia N97 launch party and when they went to unveil it on the projector, it froze. They were so embarrassed. The N97 had nothing but issues.

The N97 Mini was nice, the main screen isnt as nice as the N97 but it didnt have the same issues.

I love the X6. The screen resolution is great. The flow of the touchscreen is great. Apps open fast and the contacts bar with pictures flies. T9 and landscape input are easy and quick.

You have people who love Windows Phones and will back them up and you have people who love the iPhone and swear by it. Its all cool to me. I just left a Blackberry 9000 and 9700 to go back to Nokia and I couldnt be happier.

The camera is great, as what you expect from a Nokia. Its a 3.2" screen, I wish it was at least 3.5" but after Blackberries and years of WinMo 2.8" screens, its all good to me. The browser runs great and loads pages fast, I guess I am lucky to live in NYC where I get 3.5G service all the time and quick data.

My biggest pet peeve is that its 16GB of internal memory. I guess if I had an iPhone I would be in the same situation. If it had a slot for a microSD card and was expandable everything would be perfect. At least its better than the 8GB of the N95.

It came down to a Google Nexus One and the X6 and the X6 won. If the N900 has 850/1900 HSDPA I might be using that still that but living where I do, I hardly ever use WiFi because of my HSDPA signal.

Again, no phone is perfect. As a forner Nokia Rep, they really were excited for the release of the X6 and U think they hit it head on. I love the slide to anwser/slide to reject when a call comes in. Its like the iPhone but works better. Also, the seperate slide lock on the side is great. You can lock the screen off during a call so your face doesnt hit the mute button or any other.

I dislike the haters. You can dislike the phone but there's no reason to rip it apart. If you want to do that, go get a Blackflip or Cliq XT. Nokia has put out some nice products and the X6 was good enough to drive me away from WinMo and RIM.

Maybe im not a powerhouse user. I have 4 email accounts on the X6, I use Word and Excel a lot for work. I use the camera a lot and have a god amount of music on the phone. Its customized pretty nicely, I put on some great apps, have a lot of contacts and texts a lot. I do miss BBM but texting is sweet so im happy with texting. Twitter and Facebook run well and I can easily runs multiple apps open at the same time. Its got a front video camera, weather app is great, BT works great with my Blueant BT speaker.

I'm not sold on the screen yet. Its ok in spots, but is taaking more getting used to time than the Samsung Behold II I reviewed some months ago.

Its definitely a backup to my N97. Have decided not to migrate music to it (I'm mobile only and don't want to wrestle a PC just to do that). Will be using Mobbler for musiic needs. The battery will love me for that.

Adobe Flash Lite showed up on the Ovi Suite updater today, installed but haven't tried it yet.

It's a normal NAM version of the phone. I'm not sure if the phone ever came with normal mini-QWERTY from Nokia, but with the previous firmware, Swype added a mini-QWERTY keyboard.
