NOKIA X6 and X3 Music Phones

And the Stuttgart craziness begins. The X6 is like a slimmed down 5800 XpressMusic, (3.2-inch touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera), while the X3 (2.2-inch non-touchscreen) has a slide-out numeric keypad, and is the first Series-40 OS phone to be Ovi Store-enabled.

The X6 also has 32GB storage, TV-out and Comes With Music unlimited downloads. Nokia says the phone will be available by the end of the year for 459 Euros (about $650).

Meanwhile, the X3 will have a 3.2-megapixel camera, FM Radio, integrated stereo speakers, and need to use MicroSD cards for storage (probably a preferable option, anyway). It will be 115 Euros (about $160) when it arrives along with the X6.

Nokia E72 And 5530 XpressMusic Are Now Official

via Gizmodo by Simon Crisp on 6/15/09

After "leaking" a promotional video over the weekend Nokia have officially unveiled the E72 - their new QWERTY smartphone followup to the fantastic E71- at the Connection 09 event in Singapore.

Compared to its none-too-old brother, the E72 will see its camera bumped up to 5 megapixels along with the addition of an integrated compass, an optical navigation key (not unlike the BlackBerry Gemini's) and sensibly a 3.5mm headphone jack. Nokia say the S60 handset features a "desktop like email experience" and will begin shipping third quarter of 2009 for $485 without contract.

Also revealed was the 5530 XpressMusic - essentially a smaller, cheaper 5800 - featuring a 2.9 inch widescreen display, 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash and a 4GB memory card. The GSM/EDGE phone doesn't use 3G but can at least connect via wifi; it will also be available third quarter of 2009 for around $275 unsubsidized.
