Hi everyone,

I am planning to get my first ever touch screen smartphone (budget <rm1k), after finding some info online, I decided that my choice would be Nokia X6 8Gb.

Can anyone give me some tips/guidelines on buying it? For e.g., what are the things which I should take note of, what should I ask to the seller etc.

Also, a few other questions:

1) Does it support dictionary function?
2) Can it multitask? Like open msn, facebook and gmail at the same time?
3) How good is the OVI maps function, in terms of reliability (up-to-date, voice command)? Can I request to install Garmin in it? Is it free? Or, OVI maps are good enough?
4) What are the top advantages/weaknesses of the phone from your own experience?

Sorry if the questions are kind of vague, but I am a total noob in techie stuffs like this.
Thanks in advance~

Ok, noted
4) For the low ram n low cpu speed, does it mean the phone will hv higher possibilities to hang most of the time? So, usually do you only open one application at a time?

Oh, I read some of the threads related to Garmin, and it seems that it is a common problem? But, it won't have too much effect on the x6, will it?

Ah, I was actually having second thoughts about getting one.. Worried about lots of stuffs, n totally alien to the Symbian World. Don't know what is what, and too many info to digest. Oh, and I haven't go test the unit yet. But then again, I think I should just go for it Take a big step, haha..

So far, the screen seems to be its best selling point. I wonder if its harder to use as it is only responsive to fingers compared to those with stylus? I tried before using friend's touch screen phone, usually ended up typing the wrong alphabet accidetally (with fingers), or maybe I'm not delicate enough
Haha, won't open >10++ applications simultaneously, maybe 3 or 4 yup, I know. For that price, it's ok d.

I found out something called the Swype. Can this be used in X6? It looks cool & probably will help in sms-ing

Oh, POGO? Is it commonly found? How much is it in Malaysia? Saw it on the web for $14.95. For touch-screen, usually after use, it's common to be smudgy and greasy, right? Will it decrease its sensitivity? Means, evday also have to clean it?

Aiks
Does symbian hv any application like this?

Ic, I just stumbled on that thread too, haha..Hm, you're right. That's one extra thing to take note of. Better to try to get used to it with the fingers then.
Yup, if I find one, I will share it
