Displaying reviews 1 - 100 of 179 (displayed in order of date):Reviewed by dusan vagan on 09/11/2011 great phone.just one thing went wrong:its the lock/unluck button.after 5 months the button is gone and i have to use toothpick to unlock it now.so i keep my toothpick always with me in phone rubber case.what a pitty. Rating: Reviewed by Kyle Kaye on 04/11/2011 AVOID! Worst phone iv ever used. I have always been a fan of nokia in the past however owning the X6 has put me off ever owning one again. I got my second phone after only 3 months due to endless problems with crashing, slow running and randomly restartin even after updates. Worked ok for afew months then same again, Battery life is shocking you struggle to get a day even in standby. Built in web browser never connects. No apps seem to work correctly and Wi-FI just drops connections even when sat next to the router. Simply cannot be used if any form of light drizzle and the unlock key on mine broke so i had to pull the side of the phone off to be able to unlock it. Rating: Reviewed by Carole on 31/10/2011 I would never recommend this phone to anyone! I have only had it for 12 months and the power button has snapped off and now the screen lock key has snapped off! How the hell am I supposed to use this phone without those 2 buttons! NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A NOKIA PHONE! Rating: Reviewed by John13 on 29/10/2011 I preferred my previous phone a Sony Ericsson K800i it did almost everything better than this phone. My first problem is that it is quite a complicated phone to set up shortcuts on, and the instructions were written by a martian, it is also so flimsy that it needs a case to protect it, which detracts from it's graceful image. The camera is ok, not as good as the K800i, but the video is very good quality, the only problems I've had with it has been the camera i.e. the flash not working, or the video light not working, I've figured out how to fix it, just tap the back where the flash cells are and it usually works (it took me 6 months to figure that out). I don't like the alarm setup on it, if you want to wake up at a certain time for an appointment or whatever, you better have the phone turned on or it will just by pass it, you can set the main clock alarm to wake you up, but best to have another alarm set somewhere. It also doesn't have a timer of any kind. The music side is quite good, but the headphones have too short a lead, it plays quite well by Bluetooth, but for the radio you have to plug the headphones into the phone, and the lead is only about 10 inches, anyway my main problem is with my phone company 3 Mobile who promise the world, but I can never get a signal when I need one, especially the flat I live in. When I went to France for a week, it kept trying to connect to the internet, and download new maps, for which I had to pay for, never again Nokia or 3 Mobile. I have a phone I got for a £5er it texts and phones and that's it. Rating: Reviewed by Carolyn on 19/10/2011 This phone is rubbish. It keeps on deleting text when I am trying to type a text and keeps on disconnecting whilst I am on a call. Rubbish sensor settings too - not very responsive. Rating: Reviewed by Andy Curtis on 04/10/2011 well where should I begin? I'm actually on my 4th one, and not by choice! Out of the box it worked fine... For about 6 weeks. After that the first x6 started to go into offline mode whenever it felt the need. Back to o2 it went and back to nokia. Number 2 was a complete new phone. That one was glitchy from the off. Kept freezing and the camera would stop working for periods of time. Then one morning the diplay became corrupt and number two was returned. Number 3 was the repaired number two. Same case, new guts. Was ok for a while, about two months actually. But then it started to get sluggish and it would freeze frequently. Then it just started to switch off at random times. So i lost my temper and smashed it. Infantile i know. I look after all of my phones and they have always finished their time with me looking almost as new. So you see i was pushed to my limit in order me to smash one. This is number 4. To be honest i cant wait for my contract to end. The camer a is not working already and the bluetooth keeps switching off or fail to even come on. I noticed a load of dust under the screen with this one too. I WILL NEVER EVER HAVE ANOTHER NOKIA! Htc or iphone next. I loved my old nokia luna, a wonderful phone. The x6 however was pretty awful. Its put me off of ever going nokia again. I hope this helps. My friend has one with no issues. My manager has just changed to htc because his x6 failed also. Rating: Reviewed by benswan from uk on 18/09/2011 in general this phones is rubbish nothing really works properly apart from camera which is the best thing on the phone by far most of these reviews are inaccurate people must work for nokia lol. Very slow phone not enough ram and love to leave web browser randomly,i must stop now i could go on forever Rating: Reviewed by Mary on 17/09/2011 I am highly unimpressed with my X6. I am currently on my third one due to varying faults and think a fourth one could be on the cards due to the hearing going wrong. I really regret getting this phone and resent the fact that i have to wait until February for an upgrade! Although i cannot fault O2's customer service for sorting each of the problems which my X6 has suffered! Rating: Reviewed by sam sophallika on 07/09/2011 I think it is awesome. Rating: Reviewed by Steve J S on 24/08/2011 I have found this to be the most frustrating phone I have ever used. It runs slow between apps, you have to go through so many options just to make a call. The phone lock button is such poor quality mine broke after only 3 weeks. I have installed a slide lock/unlock but the phone oftern turns off the slide function app and I am left unable to acess my phone when I need it. On the plus side the camera and the music player are good. The sat nav on Ovi maps is reasonable too. I have always used Nokia but this has completely turned me off and I will get an i-phone at upgrade. Rating: Reviewed by Natasha on 21/08/2011 excellent phone, it has all I could ask for, nearly had it for a year now, and it's doing well. It's a brilliant design as it has separate places to plug in your USB, headphones and charger! excellent! the camera is very good quality and the screen is large and easy to use! the only issue I have with it is the charging. My phone has become VERY hard to charge ( I think this is my own fault, I dropped it in milk :L) but still it's very difficult to charge as you have to place it in a certain position, it's battery life is also VERY short, but I love this phone regardless! highly recommend it! Rating: Reviewed by phil, uk on 18/08/2011 well had the phone for a year,not a days trouble with it. love the bluetooth for music and calling. and as i ride a bike many miles per week the phone has been in some tricky spots, still preforms as new. had the iphone and the X6 has been a far better phone by a long way.it does what i want when i need it. Rating: Reviewed by Jude Dallas Mann on 16/08/2011 I bought a Nokia X6 last year and was so thrilled with its features. Within 12 months it had already developed faults and the photos were never as good or as clear as my previous Sony Eriksson. So back in for repairs and back out last month. Am about to send it in again as I cannot even turn it on. I converted to Sony after my previous expensive Nokia started breaking (also within the 12 month period) and, after having always purchased Nokia, vowed I'd never buy another one. But stupid me ... I have ... and I regret it. I'm now told that after 3 repairs (that should be next month going on the rate of repairs at present), I will be entitled to a refund from my retailer. Will I ever buy or recommend a Nokia again? What do you think!!!! Just so fed up and disgusted!!!! Rating: Reviewed by 365gaming on 14/08/2011 Nothing but trouble since getting this cheaply made phone. Ive had to replace the screen twice and today the phone just wont charge or turn on when it was working fine the other night. Phone splits, plastic comes apart. For the price you pay you expect it to be manufactured to great standards but not with the nokia x6. Avoid at all costs in my opinion, cant wait to be rid of mine and it runs outdated symbian, says it all. Rating: Reviewed by Louise on 14/08/2011 This phone is utter rubbish and very annoying when texting because it just starts deleting the message.It is always freezing and turning itself off. WORST PHONE I HAVE EVER HAD!!! Rating: Reviewed by kerry from rotherham on 11/08/2011 I got the n6 on contract from 02 in april 2010.I have had constant problems with it and it finally broke on me a week ago.With my contract almost up I didnt know what to expect from o2.It was deleting my text messages constantly, turning itself off and the touch screen keypad often froze.I have been sent a replacement today of a nokia n8 as they no longer make the n6.Ijust hope this one is better!. Rating: Reviewed by Meighan on 03/08/2011 Had this phone for over a year. I regret it so much. The phone deletes the texts as your writing. Loses signal very easily. The lock/unlock button the the right side kept falling off so i decided to leave it off, and download a free app to use the phone. It closes applications randomly when being used. internet connection is poor and very slow. Cannot hear the other person while ringing. The sensitivity of the touchscreen is extremely poor compared to other touchscreen mobiles. I have to put up with this for another year! My dad also has this phone and is experiencing similar problems, but has hardly any signal when I do. Overall this phone is very shocking. For a Nokia i originally thought it would be great as we both have only ever had Nokia's but we were both proved wrong. Cant wait till i get my upgrade Rating: Reviewed by Yf on 01/08/2011 To speed up x6, install a task killer. Overtime mine slowed with all the apps installed. The phone slows through apps that run in the background(they only waste ram by doing so,and slow the phn.. but they are supposed to be quicker to open by running secretely initially) Mobileguard at ovi stores is free and easy and u can close uneccesary apps. Also u can clean the junk files like web cookies and more through this app to free memory....and speed up phn. It wont ruin the phn or lose data. Only the "installation log" of date/time apps were installed would be missing if u choose to delete that also. There are more recent versions of mobileguard at netqin.com for free also. The one at ovi stores doesnt always update. Rating: Reviewed by Pete on 30/07/2011 I can only imagine that the positive reviewers on here owned prehistoric bricks before their purchase of the X6. Nokia have produced what is the most frustrating piece of non-technology I've ever owned and their customer service regarding the problems with the phone is every bit as bad as the phone itself. the phone freezes constantly, it drops internet connection and if you was GPS then don't count on this device to be in any way accurate. It not exactly hard wearing either, the slightest knock or drop from desk height and you could well end up with a very broken phone, which is what happened to mine. Thank goodness as now I can buy a phone that does what it's manufacturer claims. It won't be a nokia I can guarantee. Rating: Reviewed by Kyle Kaye on 28/07/2011 Avoid! Constantly crashes, dispite only having used up 5gb of 16 its unbeilivabily slow. Music volume ajusts as and when it like regardless of if you press the side buttons or not. I have had many nokias before but ill be avoiding any in the future. I had to get a replacement only 2 months after i got my first Rating: Reviewed by faithy from Philippines on 26/07/2011 the 1st 1 month i used my x6 i was disappointed coz its hanged and i cant off it i need to out the battery so that it will off and on again..but i went in the nokia center about it...THEY UPGRADE my phone now its ok there nomore hang anymore...this phone is really nice but its not too fast its just slow..i need to click 2times to open what i like...thats it!!!and also the secondary not nice honestly..but the camera,sounds,video and style of this phone are good!! especially the battery its takes so long to lowbat, 3 to 4 days after u charge..im so impress the battery life of this phone!!but even its not too fast like other phones out there im enjoying using my nokia x6 8) its just in you how can you handle this phone... Rating: Reviewed by stacey daniel on 21/07/2011 i love my nokia x6 ive always had a nokia as they are fantasic phones ive had my x6 for 14 months and it now has started going slow the screen scrambles and it freezes on me apart from that a great phone Rating: Reviewed by Shauni Williams, Slough City, Berkshire County, England. on 19/07/2011 The Nokia X6 has a bad browser and battery life. But its stereo speakers are brilliant. I compared the sound of the x6 speakers to the iphone 4's speakers and the x6 blew the iphone out of the water in terms of sound quality. However, the iphone 4 was slightly louder - it just did not sound anywhere near as good as the ever so slightly quieter but silkier sound of the x6. Rating: Reviewed by Karen on 15/07/2011 Loved the phone (got it in the May and it packed in, in September) but there is a fault with the charging and I have sent it back to O2 and Nokia but they say it is beyond repair. I was told it was my fault, but the funny thing is my brother has the same phone and the same thing has happened to his!!!!!! Rating: Reviewed by SYE on 14/07/2011 OVERALL NOKIA X6 IS EXCELLENT PHONE BUT IN SOME PHONE SHOES PROBLEM WITH C D DOWNLOAD Rating: Reviewed by zahid ahmed on 11/07/2011 awesome phone....... Rating: Reviewed by Amy on 10/07/2011 had this phone for 10 months and its amazing! I've had no problems with it, only sometimes it will turn itself off when it's on full battery and won't turn back on, but thats because I charge it for too long. Easy to use, very quick. Holds a large amount of memory, the quality of the photos are brilliant. It's easy and quick to text people, and it doesn't ever seem to break whenever I drop it either :D Overall, it's the best phone I've had! I would recommend it to anyone Rating: Reviewed by Amy on 01/07/2011 I hate this phone the touch screen comes in responsive and the phone has to be restarted for it to work again during a text the cursor will go mad flying through my text stopping me from carrying on typing it will suddenly start deleting everything I typed it takes forever to respond to the vertical to horizontal the updates from nokia have bugs one in which got my WLAN stuck on and wouldn't turn off which wasted battery power the Internet is slow on it the videos are rubbish quality the main frame is plain half the settings our extremely hard to find the music player isn't so good the only good thing is the pictures it takes overall this is a terrible phone that has way too many problems and bugs Rating: Reviewed by V M India on 25/06/2011 This phone X-6 is not recommended from my view. It has lot of problems. Network problem. Speed problems, Rebooting problem. Only good thing is camera 5 MP with carl zeiss lens. But I am not buying a camera, I am buying a mobile phone. Rating: Reviewed by andre on 13/06/2011 i'm really pleased with my phone. My partner is having web issues on her 5800, but mine is working practically normal. A fast enough device for me. Rating: Reviewed by Singh on 06/06/2011 ...that be 128 ram, and a processor running at 434mhz when the phone was released. Apparantly i have read, that the device updates make the processor faster( 474mhz i read also). If compared to the wildfire, then there is far more ram on the wildfire, which can easily gets used up when having web and apps open on the x6. Thats why i use an app/ram manager. The processor is also a bit faster on the wildfire...which helps with the speed of the phone operating. If u want a phone with built in speakers, and better quality picture on the screen display(more pixels) then go for the x6. Mobile you tube is also fully functional on the x6. Rating: Reviewed by Singh on 31/05/2011 My phone started crashing after i had more apps, games and memory used. The x6 has only 474 ram approx... There are many app managers that are easy to use, which close the apps running in the background that take ram up and waste battery, and low ram like too much open ends up with the system crashing...same as a pc. The best one i found is mobile guard, at ovi, or also at netqins site...it is free. I would also use the rebooting code if the phone acted like it was bugged. ..press the * key then hash 7370 and hash again into dialler. Do a backup of all content before. The proceed to reformat the phone. All data not saved(backed up via memory manager) would maybe be lost, the after format, do restore. This takes about 15 mins. Device updates alse help performance. Rating: Reviewed by KB on 28/05/2011 this phone worked really well for the first couple of months i had it, i really loved it! but then it started being really crap, it would freeze and shut down randomly, it would also not be able to find signal, even in places where i KNOW there is really good signal (for example, in my own home!), when it did have signal, it would still take up to five minutes to send a text! i have a friend who also had this phone, and unfortunately similar things happened with hers. basically, its a great phone when it works, but it breaks easily and for no reason! Rating: Reviewed by Sam sophallika on 24/05/2011 I think Nokia x6 is the best choice. Rating: Reviewed by samira on 19/05/2011 it's very good. I love it Rating: Reviewed by Sophie on 19/05/2011 I had the nokia x6 for about 6 months and everything worked perfectly, i loved the phone. then i got my second nokia x6 because i gave the first one to a friend. The second one i got caused me a lot of trouble and the touch screen completely stopped working within a few days of buying it, fortunally i was within my guarnettee and was able to get it swapped for another one, this one i've had for about a month and a half and it has stopped working. any nokia charger i go to use does not work unless i sit and hold the charger at a speific angle. this morning i woke up and the phone was off and would not turn on. i think nokia have just made bad versions and better versions to be honest. the phone has great potential of it would just work. Rating: Reviewed by Xu on 18/05/2011 X6 gives alot of problems!!! i will never use nokia again Rating: Reviewed by Dave on 18/05/2011 I absolutely hate this phone, nothing but problems. The interface is average, the screen keeps freezing, it barely handles decent games, the internet browser is just about useable. The ONLY good thing I have to say about it is the Music player is pretty good and it takes mediocre photos. Like Cooper, I replaced it with the HTC Desire for an extra £2.50 per month in my contract and the Desire blows it out if the water. Proof? I tried to write this review on the X6 and it failed miserably. Writing in the Desire- a doddle Rating: Reviewed by D.M.G on 17/05/2011 Having also had the nokia 5800 before this, i felt the review for this on mobile phones uk was a little OTT ,of saying this was the 5800 pimped to the max. But after a while i see what they mean. The screen is better, the camera, and the speakers. All isnt a magor change from the older phone..but an improvement yes. The capacitive screen, and 5mgp camera being a much better improvement, if comparing it. Shame the web isnt any faster...and no wonder people aint happy if they payed £250 or more expecting an i phone etc. I like it a lot anyay. Rating: Reviewed by lashen on 16/05/2011 very nice mobiel phone Rating: Reviewed by Goalsharker on 16/05/2011 I've has this phone for 8 months. It's the worst Nokia phone I've had and with Symbian being dumped its out of date. The screen lock unlocks whilst its in my pocket.It's unresponsive, it has basic (these days) functions. It's a horrid phone with the ability to is misleading as I chose it partly on the strength of this website. Unless I shell out for a new handset I'm stuck with this junk until November 2012 when I can dump my contract with Orange. Thanks guys for duping me. Rating: Reviewed by Rachel on 04/05/2011 Can't actually understand the positive reviews as it's by far the worst phone i have ever had. It's unresponsive and unreliable! I've had mine replaced 4 times and fixed twice. It's actually put me off nokia all together. Rating: Reviewed by Yinka on 02/05/2011 I luv my x6 Rating: Reviewed by Jane Brown on 02/05/2011 I definitely would not recommend this phone. I havehad four replacemetns because it did not work properly. I am now waiting for another replacement but I have given up on the N6 and chosen another model altogether Rating: Reviewed by Rz on 01/05/2011 A lot of touch screen problems Rating: Reviewed by Pappa G :) on 28/04/2011 The phone is great. I got the phone as my nok 5800 was such an awesome phone. The batt life is great, and there is even a sensor near the ear piece to stop the touch sensitivity when on calls. Ok the web isn't as good apparantly as android, but personally i didn't wan't to risk getting another phone that wasn't as good as the musia player on the 5800. I use both like mp3 players, you tube etc...and is great if u want some radio or music on the speakers. I use the free app at ovi called internet radio...awesome. And as others have mentioned the free browsers like opera, uc web, really make the web even more usable. Only downside is there isn't full support for flash player...and i haven't found one at adobe either....no big deal though for me with divx(needs installing), mp4, and realplayer on the phone already. Like i mentioned it's a music phone to me, as nokia intended. Rating: Reviewed by clint on 28/04/2011 superb x6 Rating: Reviewed by Chris on 26/04/2011 Buggy software and just generally unimpressive. When its new, it seems nice, but it gets bad fast. Symbian in an awful OS and until Nokia starts running WP7, I'd stay away from them.

Battery life is ok if you have everything turned off. However... Build quality is cheap and falls apart when dropped. Camera pic quality is not good, with tainted colour. Not enough apps in ovi store, no bbc iplayer for example.... No pdf veiwer, or word/excel. More bad than good, I'm looking forward to getting rid! Rating: Reviewed by tina on 17/04/2011 had this phone 9 months now and never again. this is the worst phone i have ever had. give me a blackberry anyday. phone has an over sensitive screen but on occasions no response at all. the key guard is far to quick and on the whole a heap of rubbish. i have the phone for another year so have gone out and bought a replacement Rating: Reviewed by AlexC on 06/04/2011 The phone is abysmal, i constantly find myself throwing it on the floor because the thing freezes while playing music, scrolling the screen to quickly and also being on the internet.. It randomly closes pages, takes ages to respond and has moments where the phone chooses to deleted a text message while you are halfway through writing it.. The phone irritates the hell out of me and although there was a time where nokia were a leading brand (2000 with the 3210)i would never touch one again Rating: Reviewed by Bukhtiar on 05/04/2011 I have had dis fone now for about 6 months and it never hung up. it has not slowed down at all i have never used the gps thing here in Pakistan but rest everything the internet, the applications, the camera is just too good for me and everything works perfectly for me. I would have rated it as a five star but lets leave it now because 5 stars should be reserved for the best. I think its a little expensive and therefore 5 stars for u my love.... Rating: Reviewed by TAM on 04/04/2011 Worst phone I have ever had and I am stuck with it in a contract for another long 12months. I have already had to get it replaced after 4months as it mysteriously stopped working. The contract is rubbish too and can't afford to used special features like the internet and gps. The replacement i got , after 2weeks was showing problems where the touchscreen doesnt work and the phone has to be turned off and on again and i am told i cannot do anything about it until my contract ends!!! Rating: Reviewed by manu on 31/03/2011 its gr8 to have it in your pocket ... Rating: Reviewed by roobie on 28/03/2011 Worst phone I've had for a long time. On my second handset now and still getting the same problems. Often, the touch screen doesnt work at all - only workaround is to close everything and go back to where you were. Also, when inputting text for sms, the cursor sometimes deletes everything by itself (sounds unlikely I know, but it does!). For a smarthphone - think its limited by Symbian OS, and by a very poor Ovi Store - not great apps, certainly compared to Android. All in all, wish I'd gone for a different phone altogether! Rating: Reviewed by Lee337 on 25/03/2011 Had it on a 2 year contract with O2. Initially thought it amazing, but over 1 year (with Android phones commonplace) this phone soon became tired, buggy, slow and and pretty much a poor experience. Compared with Android, Symbian really is pants. So what have i done? Sold it to Royal Mails Simply Drop and purchased an Orange San Francisco (unlocked and debranded) and now am running my final 12 months of my contract on that. The only saving grace with the X6? The camera is reasonably good and the music player quite well put together. Shame Nokia dont do Android. Rating: Reviewed by Joanne on 23/03/2011 i love it Rating: Reviewed by Robin on 23/03/2011 I've had the X6 for a month now and I've used it quite a bit, it has frozen once but recovered fairly quickly, the unlock button can be a bit temperamental too but overall it's a really good easy to use phone for texting and phoning. The touch-screen is generally pretty fast and the battery lasts a few days, the phone's a bit bulkier than similar phones and the case is a bit flimsy. The features work really well although I've not used the internet on it. The camera is impressive/clear and the flash is really strong, the music player works really well too and the huge memory comes in handy. Oh and for those for whom it matters the GPS coming free with the phone just means you get the app for free forever. Rating: Reviewed by arjun on 23/03/2011 nothing more to say...it is simply superb... Rating: Reviewed by Anthony Fletcher on 22/03/2011 I agree with all the bad comments about this phone, awful. On my 5th phone now, why did I stick with Nokia? Got 12 months on my contract left going to be a nightmare Rating: Reviewed by Rachel Chapman on 21/03/2011 The worst phone I've ever had. Used it for 2 days and its being sold. The keys on the touch screen are too close so you make mistakes. I dont have the time or the patience. I'm sure there are positives but I'm going back to the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. Only buy the X6 if you have small hands to use the ridiculous keyboard or if you want to carry a stylus around. If you dont text, post on the internet or have to type anything, you might be OK! Rating: Reviewed by Ian on 19/03/2011 This phone is rubbish. After 2 new replacement phones and 6 repairs over the last year my supplier finally swapped for another model. It freezes all the time, the internet is slow, the back drops off if you dont put it down gently and you loose your setting. The one good thing about it the life was great. As far as phones go, if the Iphone is a smartphone then this is a thick phone! There are better phones out there even in the Nokia range.

Rating: Reviewed by Lawrecne Brown on 05/03/2011 You'll notice from the reviews below that this ia a marmite device. You either love it or hate it. Personally, I hate it. And I've now had three of them due to faults. Yes - large memory. Yes - lots of places to store mp3 and video. But to use it as a phone? Slow, unresponsive, poor pick up, occasionally just not connecting to the network (which my second phone, a bargain pay as you go on the same network has no problems with). In short... I feel that Orange has stuck me with a phone that is more an mp3 player than a phone. Shame really, as I thought I was contracting a device to contact other people with: a phone! Rating: Reviewed by DY on 21/02/2011 you can do a format of the phone to sort bugs out. Returns phone to when originally bought. You must do a full back up before. Ocassionally some apps will have to be reloaded like Opera/anti virus software ......but the start up installation links will likely be stored in the phone memory still. is silly all these codes are not given with the phone. After back up, type *#7370# into dialler. Make sure battery is quite full. Takes about 20 mins. Do restore after....found in file manager.......in back up.

Rating: Reviewed by Jon on 18/02/2011 Great phone but not perfect. It's got all the features you'd want and it's a Nokia so it's easy to use. Came with free Nokia Maps, so no need for the old GPS. Looks really good and has a great touch screen and camera. I would note that every time someone says that their iPhone can do something they consider amazing this phone can do it too. Batterywise, I used it on holiday, taking pictures and phoning home and it lasted 4 days. Did have some problems with Ovi downloads which messed up the battery life, but it's great again now I removed them. It's not the most powerful or quick phone, and it does freeze every now and then. I had an N95 before this and have to say overall the N95 is a better, more powerful phone. Rating: Reviewed by D.Y on 18/02/2011 compared to the hd wildfire, this phn has excellent music quality on mp3, the speakers are also great with surround sound. Ok so it doesnt have full flash support.....most phones dont. However it does stream loads of web media clips fine that i visit. Also downloads films fine...if the there is a good web site. much better using the free Opera browser on many sites...the standard browser is good also. For free on a good contract this is a bargain , esp if you want great music, the 2 awesome phn speakers, good camera.....and if your techy enough to put films on it. Techradar reviewed this phn as great for transfering films from windows media player to the phn.....i use web sites. and yes the phn hs a flimsy back cover , but why worry.....mine is fine....and i swop sim cards loads....still fine.....and there are other very affordable covers. i got mine on a 15.pound a month contract , also with 500 mb. Was from virgin and sold as new, might have been returned by one of the complainers in this site. free x6, wireless bluetooth headphone port, headphones....and tv out leads i think = bargain !

Music needs to be on the phn memory when you refresh music lidrary(to add transfered tracks).Can then put them on mass memory. My x6 is awesome, charges in 1hr 30 - 2hrs. Sounds like someone is overcharging the battery.....not good. Havent used GPS yet. Great watching some fullscreen movies. Rating: Reviewed by Myra on 09/02/2011 incredibly bad phone - as with many of your other reviews - flimsy, back plate loose, internet issues, predictive text useless & even worse sat nav appalling sent me 3 times in the wrong direction in a dark night in the snow.

I wish I had stuck with the Sony K800i as it did what it was meant to do Rating: Reviewed by Alex on 07/02/2011 I've always had Nokia's since my first phone and i've absolutly loved them! But the X6 is a little bit of a disappointment! Although it is a great phone with the amazing 5mp camera and a great battery and memory life! The touch screen always freezes, the unlocking switch came off, the volume switch always gets stuck, the phone sometimes decides it doesn't want to let me ring anyone unless i type the phone number in manually! O2 really didnt want to help me out and just seemed to want to lounge around and just get rid of me as fast as they could! I wont be buying a nokia again, thats for sure! Rating: Reviewed by Raj on 07/02/2011 I wish I had never gone for this one. Nokia x6 seems to forget that it was meant to be a smartphone and rather harps on the music aspect (well, the great bluetooth worked well only for a few weeks and then for some mysterious reason, the sound is hardly audible now). As a smartphone, it is a huge disappointment. The apps load slowly and sometime do not. Most of the times, I find that Iam unable to download apps from Ovi store. It is pretty bulky when compared to other smartphones. From Nokia, I would have expected something to match the likes of iPhone, HTC etc, if not surpass them. Often the phone hangsup and requires to be restarted. Battery does not perform as we are led to believe. It drains out very quickly, and I have noticed that many times, even after 6-7 hours of charging, the battery is not full and still charging. I've been a Nokia customer for so long that I picked this one up without any thought, but after my experience with the X6, my next phone will s urely not be a Nokia one. It is very digusting to use the X6 and I sometimes feel very frustrated and want to throw it away, but Iam stuck to it thanks to a long contract. Rating: Reviewed by Klee on 04/02/2011 Give up with this phone. Internet is poor at best, ovi is a nightmare to connect to, texts delete themselves, conenction errors, poor reception, cheap feel to it and the list goes on.

Rating: Reviewed by georgios on 30/01/2011 X6 is a faulty design.Is the 4th handset I change in 7 months and all with the same fault.When you do your settings add your contacts etc,if you turn this phone off it will never boot until you do a hard reset,that means you will loose everything.

Features are superb, camera is faultless and the speakers sound great. The music player is every bit as good as an iphone/ipod. It does not support the iplayer which is very disappointing considering how well it worked on the 5800. Also, the battery life is questionable if you actually use the internet, mp3 player or video and internet. It also doesn't support messenger or skype. A great shame for an excellent piece of hardware. Rating: Reviewed by stuart on 19/01/2011 i have this phone 6 months and it has been replaced 4 times now. the casing has the tendency to pinch your face while you talk. no way is there 35 hours playtime for music lucky if theres 2. internet connection is poor as it locks up the if you go onto web pages for browsing all in all the worst phone i have had. first nokia i have had and wont be getting a new one when the contract is up. Rating: Reviewed by Mark on 19/01/2011 im listening to mp3 right now, and my x6 easily has near the 30 hr they quote. That is what nokia says on the battery monitor App, that if you use headphones you get more music time than speakers...obviously. And you tube is obviously less, like 1+ hrs. Ifind my x6 quicker than some pcs(which also crash at times).

Having brought this phone, I have to say it is truly awful. It looks nice, similar functions to the 5800.....but.....the phone wouldnt send sms's or receive them and tbh it appears to be a common problem. Its slow to operate and open files and seems to be bug ridden. avoid it like the plague.

I wonder if people just like hating nokia for any reason they think of. I have been recently playing a great free game from Ovi and also worked out i can listen to the mp3 tunes i have, whilst still playing the game(NFS shift). And then later on i went online go do some surfing. Also i managed to find a great radio app and also downloaded a tv app that has a wide range of channels(not whats on UK TV) that are really good for free. Sorry to here others are so down on this phone. And the quality of the picture is great ...must have a lot of pixels in the screen....really sharp.

Rating: Reviewed by Mark on 14/12/2010 I have gone through 4 X6's in 8 months and have found this phone to be truly awful. The operating system is truly unstable. Nokia's email shortcut freezes approx 1 in every 5 times and the phone crshes 4 or 5 times a week. My latest phone has lost the ability to download apps. I shudder to think how much time and energy I have wasted dealing with this dreadful product. Rating: Reviewed by NokiaX6Hater on 14/12/2010 Definitely the worst phone I have ever owned, possibly the worst phone ever made (doesn't even desrve the one star) takes forever to load any kind of internet page, vibrates and makes noises for no reason, deletes text message when you're halfway through writing them, feels flimsy, terrible battery life, difficult to use, ugly and heavy. all in all a truly terrible phone. Stay Away!! Rating: Reviewed by Peter on 13/12/2010 What a fuss people seem to make over this phone. I have had it for a few months, and got it on contract. Have people forgotton that phones were merely basic a just few yrs ago. In my opinion its awesome. The touchscreen takes getting used to....but it is the same with all touchscreens. I would rely on the expert reviews for this phone more.....well, thats why i got it anyway. The battery monitor available on ovi store (for free), shows that a full battery is approx 8 hrs battery left for music, and web browsing something like 3-4 hrs, and also talk time 4-5hrs as best as i remember. However streaming would take more battery. Ive spent over an hour listening to you tube continuously,and still had some battery left.
