NTT DoCoMo.. sigh. This handset has GSM capabilities as well. Fingerprint recognition at the back (centre) etc too. Check at those cam options ('Beauty Cam...WTF?!  ) n' on-screen details:

That li'l microchip-looking thingy to the left of the fingerprint scanner is not some kind of L.E.D. either; it is called a 'Near Field Communication for Micro Payments'. Once you've scanned your fingerprint in on the panel next to it on the back, you can make payments for various items using the phone, if you've linked your payment details to your account and the device...:

 the NTT DoCoMo phones are beauties,im guessing those run Symbian MOAP? Would be realy cool to see the apps they get,also the batteries that power those monsters must be huge,like 1600mAh-1800mAh 
I realy like that X6 as well after seeing the live shots 
2010 is going to be quite a year for smartphones,its going to be very interesting Wanqs did you hold both N900 and normal N97? Did the N900 feel a lot heavier and bulkier?

Ooh Wee, we've got a spammer in the house.
BTW, awesome pics wanqa...I want me one of those phones from DoCoMo. They're just too cool and the form factor is interesting- that's all I'll say. Fingerprint recognition on a phone...I think its a bit too gimmicky, I might be wrong and six years from now it could be big stuff like music players and GPS capabilities.
Speaking of GPS, I'm thinking of acquiring the 5800 on MTN and add Garmin XT to it for $99(if there's an alternative that doesn't use data please let me know).

@ Hobbster n' da brixsta:
Yeah those handsets take up a lot of hand real estate (check how many lines on display for the sms, without needing to scroll down...!); fortunately they are pretty slim.
@ Gucci:
Had kak luck with the N900. The one pic of the N900 shows it switched on, but that example was pretty much hogged between some OVI store big-wig and 2 other suited business customers, which meant that I had fokkol chance of playing with it in the time that I was there... 
The only other N900 there, the one I fiddled with, had exhausted its battery after being on the go since 8:30 in the morning, by the time I got there at 16:15PM. The Nokia chargers there were all securely attached to the live display models, meaning that it wasn't just a case of using a charger at the Nokia/OVI stand. When I suggested if we could try plug it in at a stand elsewhere, he was told that he had to remain with the handset at the OVI stand... FFS! 
The N900 looks bulkier, due to the extra width and thickness compared to the N97 or N97 Mini. I think Nokia settled for the more matt/satin black finish on the rear of the N900 to make it appear less bulky. It's 18mm in thickness, thus more than the N97 Mini, so again it becomes evident. It's not a brick as such, but it is also heavier than either the N97 or N97 Mini.

OK, check this out, care of the Opera stand.
This is a live/ REAL TIME, global 'view' of Opera user concentrations around the world.
On top of that, kinda like Google Earth, you can zoom in and out, but can also rotate the 'Earth' to look at the Opera user concentrations anywhere in the world, right there and then, with the remote joystick. Check out Gauteng, LOL:

Lol, I'm using Opera right now, thanks for the pics wanqs
ALL
I think it was sometime beginning of this year when I read 'faith like potatoes', well, finally watched the movie and OH MY... Gotta say, I'm a bit picky when it comes to 100% SA made movies. But dang is this an awesome movie, a true one at that. It's such a shame that certain movies/stories like this don't get the recognition they deserve... You guys have to watch it, if you already haven't. Great stuff

@ gola:
You're welcome, boet. The better half watched Faith Like Potatoes last year, while I was esato'ing nearby on the PC.
She enjoyed it, but it's not my cup of tea.
