First criteria to be considered as capable music phone is in this product, which is the capasitive display instead of resisitive. This feature surely more finger friendly and easy to use..
Nokia X6 promoted with "Comes With Music" ads line. This is a promotion feature that allow user to downloads free music through Nokia Music store. One year downloads period is given by Nokia. This surely can consider as an extra. But user might want to consider their mobile internet connection that surely won't be free either.
Nokia X6, review by G-spot
Nokia X6 Design & Interface
Thick candy bar shape, almost at same size with Nokia 5800. Not many buttons can be found in the front face. Below the screen, there are 3 button. Two is for Call and End Call, and the other is Menu button. They work same as other Symbian phone series.
In this side we also got sensitive button for media bar in the top right side of screen. In active mode, we can use it to activate media menu. Same button as other Nokia Symbian 5th multimedia phone such as Nokia 5800 XM or 5530. In the top, they place front camera and next to it is earpiece.
Go to right side, you can find camera button, display switch and volume adjuster. At the top side, there power switch, charger connector, 3.5mm audio jack and micro USB port. On the left, there are 2 speaker tunnel and SIM card slot between it.
Operating System in Nokia X6 is Symbian S60 5th edition version 9.4. This mean they installed the latest Symbian OS to this phone. Menu and Today's screen look same as other S60 Symbian 5th edition phone.
As the main feature, Nokia X6 use capasitive touch screen with TFT 16,7m colors. This the first XpressMusic phone that use this display technology. Menu access became more ease, especially when typing email or sms.
This capasitive sensor is different with resistive in Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Main diferrence is on the sensor type. Where capasitive screen needs electric conductor to work. Human finger as example is the good electric conductor. So we can't use stylus or pen to interact with phone display. While resistive is vice versa, more sensitive with physical type input.
Display size is 3.2 inch with 640 x 360 px resolution. Auto rotate feature, so it can adapt with phone vertical and horizontal position using accelerometer technology.
The main bug came from slow synchonization between touch screen and menu interface and application inside. Where we should click options > exit to close an application. If there are exit button like in iPhone surely more helpful. Or by click clear (c) button so we can close application by click on multi task button.
Nokia X6 Multimedia
Camera
Photography ability in Nokia X6 is good enough. Powered with 5 MP camera with Carl Zeiss sensor. Professional feature can be choose like autofocus, white balance, iso, color tone, macro mode, red eye reduction, dual LED flash light and etc. This is quite complete for a camera phone.
When talking about quality, it still not that powerful. Especially for indoor use with dual LED active. It show a bit blur image. Maybe from the flash light reflection or the lens not powerful enough.
While for outdoor take, image result is good enough (with the flash light inactive).
For video recording, this camera phone can record VGA resolution video with 30fps. Also available widescreen resolution, same in 30 fps.
Music Player
This phone use N series standard music player, which same with 5800. Music file sorting capability and audio produced is good.
Interesting feature in this music player is we can transfer music via synchonization with other Nokia application or by drag and drop like other digital music player. So we won't get much trouble like how the iPhone did.
Video Player
Next is Symbian standard video player in Nokia X6. Supporting video files are MPEG4-SP 30 fps VGA, MPEG4-AVC 30 fps QVGA, WMV9 30 fps QVGA, MPEG4-SP 30 fps nHD. Limitation in resolution, 30fps max. Which mean only some certain fps MPEG4 file playable in X6.
Connectivity
X6 have Bluetooth, data cable, 3.6 mbps HSPA and WiFi if you prefer to connect mobile internet from hotspor area.
While for web browsing, X6 use Symbian 5th type web browser, this browser work well in touch screen.
Instalation and Application
Inside X6 can be found Nokia Music Store application, which allow free downloads. Similar type with iTunes Store from Apple. This music stor is supported by many of record company.
X6 user who own Ovi account can download freely through this application. But unable to transfer it to other cell phone. This is related with DRM inside every music file that we downloaded.
X6 also have GPS assited type receiver. complete with Ovi Map version 3 that has support free navigation feature. As an extra, there FM radio with RDS, Flash lite 3 for video streaming and gaming.
Battery
Using lithium ion 1320 mAh, it could handle all power consumable features in X6. This big cell capacity usable up to 2 - 3 days for regular usage.
Conclusion
Judging from the Nokia X series, X6 is not the first X, and not the first Nokia touch screen product. But the capasitive display inside made it more fresh compare to other Nokia music touch screen products.
Apart from this cell phone performance in multi media, the advantage side is also came from free music downloads feature in promotion period (1 year). That could bring benefit to X6 user.
