X6 IN A NUTSHELL

The Beast among the phones is Nokia X6. Priced around 16000, it gives competition to all the best phones in the market. Read More for specifications and other things. :)



Alternatively, The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic(costing around Rs.14,200), 5530 XpressMusic(costing around Rs.11,000) and the 5230(costing around Rs.7.500) might be placed in a much lower segment but they do match most of the X6 functionality and cost a lot less. If you are willing to sacrifice some screen estate and GPS (5530) or Wi-Fi (5230) and a couple of megapixels of image resolution (5230) you can save yourself more than half the money and get the same software package, even with the Comes with music goodies (5235).
