The X6 is a good phone. Sensitive touch screen, decent battery life & numerous features.

My only gripes would be the flimsy back cover & lack of 'pizzazz' from the operating system. I may have an Android phone next.

I downloaded an app to avoid using the slide lock button.

After using E71, got X6 as an upgrade. My first touch screen phone & I am not disappointed at all. Its keypad input is very fast. I love to write texts & emails. Sometimes screen response late, but that is acceptable, not a big problem. Battery life is awesome. Call quality is better than E71. Lots of applications to download from Ovi store. Web browsing is excellent specially if using with opera. YouTube is very good. When listening music speakers are very loud, if using with supplied Bluetooth headset, sound is awesome. Lot of shortcuts on main screen, 4 on main screen, media key has 5 shortcuts, clicking on time & date you get more shortcuts etc. Contacts shortcuts are very nice to use.

Overall an excellent phone. If you are a Nokia lover you will not be disappointed.

I agree with Loz from UK, the touch screen is very un-responsive making the whole phone practically useless. Which is a shame as it has a very good spec.

I HAVE HAD MY PHONE FOR FOUR MONTHS NOW WITH A CONTRACT WITH O2. FEW PROBLEMS WITH the PHONE SOFTWEAR & the MOST RECENT WAS the HAIR LINED CRACKS WHICH APPEARED WHILST the PHONE WAS CONNECTED TO the PC. 02 WERE CONTACTED, THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED AT ALL. THIS PHONE HAS NEVER BEEN IN BACK POCKETS. I HAVE TO PROVE THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURING FAULT!

HAS anyone ELSE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS?

They said that 5800xm is an iPhone killer, I say that this unit is the real iPhone killer, I have been changing units from Nokia 5530 to 5800xm to Nokia E63, Nokia E71, Nokia E75, before my upgrade I have a Nokia N95 8GB an nothing beats that phone in terms of usability, until I found Nokia X6. I am glad I chose this over a BlackBerry.

This unit is totally awesome & will be much appreciated by those who are so much into media =).

I recently upgraded to this phone but after using it for a couple of days I have decided to send it back for an exchange for another handset.

On first impressions I thought the Nokia X6 was a good size, quite light & looks good. However when I turned it on I was disappointed with the graphics, they looked quite cheap especially in comparison to the graphics on my husband's LG BL40 Chocolate.

I found on using it that the touch screen is not very responsive, sometimes I have to touch the area several times before it does what I want it to & sometimes it freezes for ages before doing anything. I am used to my husband's phone which is mega responsive & doesn't freeze.

Maybe I have a faulty phone or maybe this is normal for the X6? I don't know but this just isn't for me at all & I can't really recommend it as a handset especially when there are so many other good touch screen phones out there.

I can not fault this phone. Everything works fantastic. My brother has a iPhone & you can not compare.

The x6 is a better camera, the x6 is quicker on the Internet, the x6 speakers are better, the x6 looks a lot better & cheaper, I can go on & on.

I am fed up with all these people going on about the iPhone. The iPhone is for people who can't make up their own mind, TRUST ME THIS IS BY FAR A BETTER PHONE.

Well done Nokia. I love it.

Had it a week & the screen smashed. Shame, because it is a great little phone. Fell out of love with my N70 a few years ago, so was rather dubious of what to expect going back to Nokia after years with Sony Ericsson.

Simple to use, decent enough camera & great little applications, just a pity about the screen. Oh & someone at Vodafone decided to put Gavin & Stacy on it. Waste of memory.

This is a very good phone. I have had it for a couple of weeks now. My last phone was a BlackBerry & before that I was always a Samsung girl!

Having a Nokia is a big change for me. I am very impressed with it so far.

The responsiveness of the touch screen is very good & therefore is very user friendly. It responds to the very lightest of touches & doesn't go flying up & down like other touch screens I have sampled! It is very easy to text on the touch screen & you don't have to press very hard.

The screen also flips between horizontal & vertical on turning the phone very quickly, it senses how you are holding the phone.

The camera is very good with 5MP & is again very easy to use.

I have added several music albums to my phone & the music playback is of very good quality, there are two speakers on the back of the phone which produce excellent sound.

There is a handy screen lock key at the right side of the phone to prevent you using the phone in your bag etc.

Overall I am very impressed with this phone & have found no fault as yet!
