It's the N900, boet.

Like the look of the X6 more though...
N900 is an awesome bit of kit, but is almost too bland. The X6 is a classy looking thing, with nice attention to details, like the bling speaker shrouds/grills, glossy bits etc.

@ Gucci:

The X6 really appealed to me. Satio's stylus is attached on an external dangly dongle like LG's Viewty. Pity. The cam options were fantastic!! No real lag while scrolling through its menus, etc.
I thought I'd like the N97 Mini more, with its qwerty keyboard n' all. The way made the W995 look 'trick' with the little design accents is kinda how I see Nokia doing the X6, but with the added bonus of it being a smartphone.

More info etc in due course re the phones, including some amazing DoCoMo ones (gotta let goldenface check 'em out).

More pics on the way; just resizing 'em at the moment..

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).
