Customer Review

I bought the Nokia X6 with 16GB memory and would like to talk about my experiences with it here.

Commissioning is very simple: the battery and SIM card in, pull the battery lid on and screen protector. After switching on the typical Nokia animation appears and shortly afterwards the setup wizard is started, asking for a date and time. After the phone is ready for use.

The menu is in my opinion logically structured and you find your way immediately, even if you have never worked with a S60 system. Establishing an Internet connection via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is very easy and takes only a few seconds. Writing short messages (SMS) and Internet surfing goes very well with the onscreen keyboard. In portrait mode, you have an alphanumeric keyboard (just like a "normal" phone), the landscape can be seen on a keyboard, as we know them from the PC to fall back.

A major criticism of what you read here in almost all reviews, is the poor workmanship of the phone, which penetrates through a loose battery cover and column on the display, through the dust, is noticeable.
The loose battery cover I can confirm, but I do not think that one has the feeling that he falls soon, as reported here by some. If you wobble in it, it moves minimally to the left and to the right, that's all. Particularly disturbing I do not find that in any case.
The display has no columns with me. Maybe I have one of the newer models in which this has been corrected.

I am particularly pleased about the very low weight and compact size the device. I had felt until recently the Aino from Sony-Ericsson and that was 3 times as heavy as the X6.

In this scope of supply is a white headset, which is sonically better in my opinion, than the Sony-Ericsson. You can even connect easily normal head listening directly to the phone. The music playback is really fun, because everything is clearly arranged and you conveniently can "wipe" the finger through its media library.

The synchronization of the phone with an Apple computer (in my case a MacBook in 2008 with Mac OS 10.6) works fine. You have to download the iSync plug-in and install it before you connect the phone via Bluetooth to your Mac just for Nokia. Calendar from iCal and the address from the address book to be transferred easily.
To transfer music (iTunes), photos (iPhoto), videos (iTunes & iPhoto) and bookmarks (Safari), there is a small program from Nokia (so far only in English), which the content you want synchronized. However, the X6 is currently not officially supported yet, which is why there were problems when transferring pictures with me. The rest, however, is working properly. The transmission also works via Bluetooth, but takes account of the low transmission power much longer.

The camera has 5 megapixels and makes good pictures. I am particularly impressed by the two LEDs that serve as a flashlight. This makes night scenes no longer a problem.

With the Ovi Store, you can quickly and easily download applications from the Internet and they can be installed automatically. There you really find everything you need (and more what you do not need).

The navigation software works quickly and reliably. One can, for faster positioning, short let a Connecting to the Internet, so that the software can roughly calculate the current position. But then transfer fees incurred by the mobile operator, if one has no flat rate.
Nokia offers a free program that checks the maps on the phone and performs updates for free. In addition, you can download additional maps and voice prompts.
On my phone navigation software was outdated, so I could even use the voice output only ten. After an update, the software works then unlimited number of times.

Finally, let me say that I am completely satisfied with the Nokia X6 and I can recommend it to anyone without restriction. The slightly wobbly battery door does not bother my opinion.
