By specifications, it seems to be a successor to the music-oriented Nokia 5800: it also has a 3.2'' resistive capacitive touchscreen, and other features include a 5-megapixel camera, 32 GB of storage, and 35 hours of music playback. It's all nice and dandy, but what really caught our eye in the official press release is Nokia's commitment to bring social networking and media to their smartphones. From the PR:
"With direct access to Ovi Store, the Nokia X6 is a hive of activity that brings 20 friends and virtual communities, like Facebook, to your homescreen."
Nokia has also introduced a new social friendly feature called Lifecasting with Ovi; it lets you publish your location and status updates directly to Facebook from the home screen of the phone:
"Lifecasting goes beyond just publishing your status - it is about building deeper and closer connections between people. It triggers new kinds of communication patterns, such as sending messages or status updates or even navigating to a friend or a place. Lifecasting will premiere on the new Nokia N97 mini, companion to the successful Nokia N97."
It took them a while, but Nokia has finally caught up to the fact that having a feature-packed phone is only half of the equation. Giving your users access to content and enabling them to connect and share with others is equally important, and their latest lineup delivers the goods. Read the full press release here.
