The vanilla Nokia X6 is here and it’s almost ready for action

[slitchfield]

With the launch yesterday of a cheaper, CwM-less Nokia X6, with lower capacity, Ewan assesses its chances of success, with reference to his own existing multi-part review of the device. The original was underpowered and overpriced - can its successor fare better?

Read on in the full article.

Great!

Has it got more RAM?
Has it got less buggy firmware?

If the answer to those questions is a No, then all Symbian/Nokia soothsayers note how the company treats you.

Seriously, How can they say they have a 'portfolio' of touch devices if all are just so similar to each other.

it is a valid comment. Ewan was all over this buggy firmware and low RAM, Even I'm sayin' this only after I got an X6 and used it.Maybe, not everyone knows how cheated you feel after you spend a fortune on a new device only to find it is half-made.

This site is called allabout symbian,then,I don't see a reason why any constructive criticism can't be taken in stride.

Comments regarding the phone are. Comments about Symbian which are repeated over and over on almost every news article isn't.

You should notice that since your post was related to the X6, it was left.

I bought X6 for my son with CWM and it has been a great phone. No problems so far. Screen is very good. Everything is just working as it should. No problems with musicplayer (really fast loading album covers). Good camera and video recording. Battery cover is the only part what could have been designed better.

I have loaded lots of music to my laptop. It´s been great to find a lots of LP´s what I used to own as vinyl records.

I'm assuming that this version is still without a digital compass. How can it compete with the likes of the iPhone, Android or, even, other Nokia phones when it still lacks, what I understand to be, this essential feature. Everyone appears to believe that Arguemented Reality Applications are going to be The Big Thing of 2010. Without a Digital compass surely the the X6 is fatally flawed?
