Nice ,that realy is convenient, unlike Nokia's rubbish "One Touch Access" crap which totaly screws up after updating NSU due to the Cable Driver. Ive almost given up on tethering.

@wanqs

I saw that Moto pic and I immediately thought of my brother's old Nokia version. It was a nice device back then but I'm not too sure it would be that practical today. Motorola seems to be experimenting a lot these days.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009

Learning new things day by day on s60v5 lol. FINALY found a solution to my MXit navigation problems. I had given up deleted it,then came the withdrawal symptoms extreme boredom, not everyone i personaly know has Twitter,and when it comes to Facebook these days most use the mobile site or a FB app on their phone so no chat,so after 5days with out MXit i gave it one last try. After installing it i went to Application Manager, hit Suite Settings, and found On-Screen Keyboard, in it i found you can set it to have On screen navigation keys they take up half the screen but dam they are so great to have,makes using MXit nice again, was geting tempted to pull out the N81 put airtime in the prepaid sim thats in it and use that for MXit as uncomfortable as it is to use that brick its so heavy and unlike the 5800,it has these sharp edges that make it uncomfortable to use for long periods of time.

Taken from The Register:

'Nokia cuts down X6 handset

Nokia is pushing out a cut-down version of its flagship X6 handset, halving the memory size to 16GB but also dropping the deal that provided free music to fill it.

The X6 was Nokia's "Comes With Music" handset - unavailable without the free-music bundle and priced to incorporate the expected cost of unlimited downloads, even if the figures seemed to show that any level of success would quickly become unsustainable even for Nokia. But that problem never materialised, as not a lot of people wanted to buy a phone with a built-in music-subscription service, prompting the launch of the 16GB version.

Not that Nokia sees things that way, of course, with the Finns presenting the X6 as a "baby brother" to the 32GB X6. It only notes that Comes With Music has been dropped in a blog posting about the launch. Even then, it spends more time talking about the colours in which the handset will be available (black and white, with the latter sporting optional pink or yellow highlights, since you asked).

But Reuters reports that the cut-down X6 is going to retail somewhere around 300, knocking a third off the price of the 450 X6.

Retail prices are, of course, subject to operator subsidy, and it's the level of that subsidy which often dictates if a handset makes it or not. Nokia's decision to offer their own music service, in competition to the operators' own efforts, however lacklustre, wasn't going to drive operators to offer a high subsidy. This makes the X6 an expensive handset.

Comes With Music isn't dead yet, but Nokia's attempt to reshape music distribution has been hit with a blow from which it may well never recover.'

You gotta love the way this man writes.He's so funny.Especially his dislike for the BB Storm.Hilarious.Heres a 3 part called Digital Devicement.Just a taster intro of Part 1

"I’ve been putting off this day for some time. But the final piece of the puzzle (in the shape of the Palm Pre) has arrived and I can delay no longer. Over the past few months I have bought and been sent some of the latest, loveliest and lousiest arrivals in the world of smartphonery, iPoddery and assorted digital devicement. I don’t pretend to offer teardowns, benchmarks or full and complete reviews and news on the subject of pricing, availability, networks and deals since all these variables tend to … um … well vary, I suppose. So prepare for a blessay, a maxiblog in four parts of which this is Part the First: An introduction. A sketchy tour d’horizon of the terrain that lies before us, stretching into the purple distance."
