Nokia X6 Comes with Music and capacitive touchscreen: shipping now

What are you thankful for today? If you live in Finland or the UK and pre-ordered a X6 then you might be obliged to Nokia for having just set your new handset free. That's right pilgrims, Nokia's new flagship Comes with Music handset is now shipping. The X6 you'll recall, introduces S60 5th to a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen riding 32GB of storage, a 5 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, TV-out, and tweaked homescreen with a media/social-centric layout. The X6 lists for €450 (pre-tax and pre-carrier subsidies) -- a price that ultimately includes the cost of Nokia's struggling "all-you-can-eat" music service. Perhaps this is the device that finally gives the service legs? Maybe, but we'd start by following through on plans to strip the DRM.

lol I can't believe it. 450 Euro (675 USD)... and no one on engadget complaints about how Steve Jobs and Apple's greedy?

Oh wait.... it's Nokia.

@Ben64 Do you know where I can get a 5mega pixel Iphone for that price?

[Endadget Posted Nov 26th 2009 5:13PM]

@Ben64
Doesn't the iPhone cost about the same?

If we leave out the OS, we could argue that the hardware part of this Nokia costs more than the iPhone's...

@Endadget
I meant to say that the Nokia costs more to produce, that it has better hardware specs (except for the CPU when compared to the 3GS).

Its too bad the OVI store is a complete failure, it could have been so much better

[hary536 Posted Nov 26th 2009 7:11PM]

@Hydra

Care to explain, how it is a failure.

The reality seems to be different.

@(Unverified) I just sold my nokia, the ovi store was full of garbage like " view a clip of star trek" or stupid things like that. It was all just spam

@Hydra

Was, Hydra. You might want to keep up with current events though.

@Ben64

That's the price of the X6 without subsidies. The iPhone costs about the same, or actually a bit more without subsidies as well.

With operator subsidies, in Finland on Sonera's network for example, you can get the X6 for 21 EUR a month on a 2-year contract.

[DrPants PhD Posted Nov 26th 2009 9:53PM]

Sweet phone, lame OS. I have the E71 and as much as I love it, the software is just pathetic at times

[DangerRabbit Posted Nov 26th 2009 10:28PM]

Nokia should really focus on overhauling their OS, and/or at least putting out a few Android handsets.

[rachelpriest Posted Nov 27th 2009 4:57AM]

Nokia X6 mobile is providing a very strange feature by the all customer and this functions phone looks sexy. I wonder how well it functions.

It's a nice phone - basically an update to the 5800 (which is a great mid range phone) with better memory and a cap screen.
