Today started using the phone and demo-ing the phone to my colleagues and showing them the features.

I really really love it when the alarm clock triggers.. they have the sliding unlock like the iphone unlock to off the alarm.

Also, when answering a call if the phone is lock has the double slider on the screen damn cool.

The slider is on the screen. it looks like the iPhone's slide to unlock gimmick. But it is quite special when someone calls in, there is 2 sliders stacked on top of each other. If you slide to the right, u will answer the call. if you slide to the left you will unlock the phone (probably to use other features)

Oh btw guys, a quick chat with the product manager reveals that the X6 has a dedicated audio chip which is why the sound quality has improved so much more compared to the 5800.

@ goldfries

The games on the X6 runs smoother than the 5800. Although the specs (refered from gsmarena) says that they both have same CPU speed and same RAM. But test the game Asphalt 4 is smoother than on the Nokia 5800. I am not sure if the X6 is what everyone expects it to be, performance wise... but definitely for interface, it is much more nicer and user friendly and also smoother with Kinetic Scrolling and the Enhanced Homescreen.

My brief testing so far (to the naked eye at least) shows that the quality is the same. Still getting the same amount of noise as 5800. Only thing is the higher image size thats all.

The Nokia product manager said "We want you to be able to enjoy the best out of your music so we put in a good one"

But the battery is the 1320mAh BL-5J battery so I think the lifespan could be same as 5800. I'll be doing some testing for next coming days hopefully this weekend I can post a complete review.

I'm gonna stick to phone pouch because whatever silicon / resin / rubberized cover actually scratched my 5800 from the inside (due to grinding against dust in between the phone and the cover).


A point to note, just like the iPhone, the X6's screen is made out of a scratch resistant glass. However no way am I taking my chances, I'm gonna go buy one screen protector the next chance I get. I just hope it doesnt screw up with the capacitive screen. Cos capacitive means to use the electric conduction between your fingers and the internal screen...

Oh since we're on the topic, wanna let you guys know the screen is very responsive. Just a light touch will already be detected but there are a few drawbacks.

1) Cannot use stylus (except those specific capacitive type) or finger nails
2) Since I cannot use finger nails, quite hard for me to sms. Cos my fingers are not that nimble.

And since we're talking abt sms, I dunno if u guys face this problem.. the place where they display ur text while typing, the font is so HUGE that it makes it hard to see the 'whole' sms if u get what i mean.

Today I went to hunt for screen protector + pouch.

1) Screen Protector - The dude said "errk... too new la.. dun have"
2) Pouch - The girl said "oh the new X6?...... erm... is it even out yet? we dont have a pouch specifically for that"




I like to see their faces where they look like "where the f--- did you get that?". Was so tempted to bring it to the Nokia Centre to ask if I can change my housing.. lol damn i am mean

Yo bryan, u sure the Nokia Music Explorers get to keep the phone? There is 50 of them ya know

Suddenly I dont feel so special, tonight another 50 new X6 owners will sprout

I'm still trying to get a damn camera for my full review... I'm done through my testing already and much to my surprise, the battery for me managed to last 3 days although the 3rd day, half the day the batt died flat.

earlier by 1 week.. haha..

oh btw, v40 on the 5800 is out. Has the enhanced homescreen + kinetic scrolling.

Now the 5800XM and X6 are heads on.

I'm not sure if those tonight will get to keep the phone but from what I gather, there is supposed to be 50 Nokia Music Explorers which some of them are our own LYN forumers. If really all 50 get an X6 then.. wa wa we wa

I am still waiting for the Ovi Player to get an update I find the software so buggy. And the nokia music explorers better do their job after this cos the Ovi Music Store is missing some basic commercial songs like Kesha - Tick Tock and also adam lambert's new songs.. hmmm

So was there really 50 people who turned up?

The dedicated audio chip definitely makes the phones audio quality shine

Btw congrats to the nokia music explorers, keep up the music exploring yeah!

Btw blu, i like ur siggy

The back cover a bit loose on mine, everytime i press it it will creak

And yeah I so totally agree with you, the 3 buttons when I press back my 5800 punya it feels so solid, this one looks like its gonna come out if pressed too much. I am trying to use everything on screen. I occasionally press the green button to go to my recently dialled list.

That is why the music player list has kinetic scrolling and the screen will show the first alphabet of the song name as you scroll

I will have to disagree on this one. With capacitive screen, I cannot click on our LYN forum buttons properly especially the small buttons like the page numbers. I used to be able to click with pinpoint accuracy with resistive now its all just a trial and error for me.

Did you guys face this problem with Garmin XT on the X6 whereby the landscape mode is not full screen, its like the right side of the screen duplicates the left side

I do have Ovi Maps but it is the standard one... hmmm maybe I shld go update the Ovi Maps and see what happens.

I installed Garmin on the first day I got it.. but the version 5.00.50 doesn't work well. THe screen a bit cacat (u install then you will know). Need to install the 5.00.60 version then its okay liao.

Btw the update really makes a difference.. the hang between apps is less prominent now and the lag when sms using QWERTY esp the first few alphabets still stuck at caps is no longer there anymore for me.

Yeap you are right. Straight away download Ovi Suite. Once you use it, you will never turn back to PC Suite
