Nice, they have an exclusive color in the UK (Vodafone NL only has the black one), this has silver lining, where the other white versions have either pink or yellow.

Good handset, my wife and I have both been using 16gb black x6's for past month. So far so good. The free bluetooth stereo headset is spot-on, good range on it.
@Miss uk: tried skyfire? Very good browser, supports flv too!

yes, it was the first Nokia to have a capacitive screen
I'm looking seriously at this for my wife to replace her N95 8GB

It's a decent model if only Nokia would use better plastic for their X series

The double-clicking or -touching is not the screen's fault, it's a Symbian-thing, it's the same with N97 (mini), sometimes one touch is enough, sometimes two are needed, a bit confusing, but you'll get used to it.

Hey bono and masseur, what do u mean by that feature? Masseur, ur missus will prob like it but if she is coming over from the N95-2 she may think its awkward using just the touchscreen to do everything, the X6 is a N96 with touchscreen all the features are there in this, which one shall u be thinking of going for? @ Marly. Maybe a update will correct that well make it abit more responsive touching links, its dead fast composing texts tho! I do wish the camera was abit quicker at capturing photos u have to hold it for ages till it makes that shutter noise, its pretty sluggish at that haha!

in simple terms... the capacitive touch screen is what the iphone uses and it allows for real finger touch only without the need for a stylus. The alternative is a resistive screen which works best with a stylus although it still does work ok with fingers given large enough buttons, e.g. on the Nokia 5800 etc
I'm still deciding on biting the bullet for an iphone for my wife, although she will hardly use most of the features, or just a simple and cheaper upgrade to the X6 from what she already knows. either way she does want just a touch screen

A capacitive screen is one which only needs light strokes to use but cannot be used with a stylus or finger nail. Its a better more sensitive type of screen and more responsive like what the Iphone uses. Other types of screen are resistive which require more pressure but can be used with finger nails or stylus. Nokia up to now only used resistive type.
Personally I would get the Nokia over the Iphone

The iPhone OS is much more userfriendly than Symbian for touchscreens, because, as most reviewers complain, Nokia didn't change enough in this new version of their "old" OS.
But, otoh  , when you're used to this OS, with a phone like the N95, this con can turn into a pro, as you'll almost immediately get along with this "new" version, because they've hardly changed it .

Oh rite now I see what it is thanks for explaining that! Masseur if ur missus is used to having her keypad u should get her a phone with best of both thats why I had a S8300v cos I was dreading the touchscreen usage, I have a iPod touch and good god the qwerty is small but this X6 is easy to text on better then the iPod so the iPhone to, there both the same device minus the phone allow u can download some software to turn it into the iPhone and use a earpiece and mic to access calls! Whatever u decide Masseur take ur wife along with u to test the phones first !
