We had a go at using the X6 rather than simply putting down its appearance. The interface is all new and, we must say, at first quite difficult to handle. It’s not as straightforward as some – finding the keyboard itself was the first hurdle – and we would hope that it gets tidied up in time, but then again there are many worse and this is by no means at the bottom of the list.
Now for some good bits: first, the music player is good, and you get the much needed 3.5mm jack so you are not limited to tinny cheap headphones. A message to all other suppliers – Nokia does it, why can’t you? The much publicised ‘Comes With Music’ package is also pretty neat, and we like it rather more than it just being a gimmick.
The camera, too, is a nice system, a very clever device with the added bonus of Carl Zeiss optics, a great choice by makers who are too keen on pushing the number of megapixels rather than the actual quality of the pictures themselves. These are clear and bright, and the auto focus and flash are also good, while the 30 frames per second main video camera is backed up by a 15 fps secondary device – a good choice, so well done Nokia for this.
With 32GB of storage as standard you will never need a boost, and the Symbian operating system is as good as any, but when it all comes down to the final assessment the general feeling is that Nokia has missed trick; this is a powerful and very clever phone that offers colossal memory in a compact package, but it could be much better. Nevertheless, we suspect it will meet with a whole host o Nokia friends.
Picking a good phone is pretty hard as you have to scan and read reviews like these. However, picking a good deal is pretty easy as you can easily compare free phone offers on trusted websites.
