Nokia has officially announced that the Symbian S60-based Nokia X6 is hitting the shelves across the UK this Friday and will become available elsewhere shortly after. The price tag of a contract-free unit is £449. The Nokia X6 is the first cell phone of the manufacturer equipped with capacitive screen and a milestone device for the new X-Series that is to replace the XpressMusic line-up. Moreover, it´s Nokia´s most technologically advanced music-oriented device to date - it´s 14mm thin body packs 3.2-inch touch sensitive screen, 32GB built-in memory, 5-megapixel camera with double LED flash and Carl Zeiss optics, A-GPS, 3.5mm jack and robust battery that allows for 35 hours of continuous audio playback. We had the chance to spend some time with the Nokia X6 at Nokia World 2009 and we just cannot wait to get our hands on a retail unit and review it for you.
