Default Nokia X6

Anyone own a Nokia X6, very new on the market apparently ?

I'm due an upgrade and CPW are pushing it, just wondered if anyone had any dealings with one.

Would like an iPhone but can't get one on my tariff

Take a look at the iPhone tariff's with Orange, they're far better than O2.

Ideally I want to stay with O2 as I went through hell swapping networks a few years ago and always swore I'd never do it again !!!

Why can't you get iPhone on your tariff? Stay with o2, just jig ya tariff a bit?

I'm due an upgrade too, with o2 through CPW, but I may steer clear of iPhone coz the camera ain't up to much, no flash etc etc, Nokia having the Carl Zeiss lens have the best camera phone setups out there, I'm looking at this on my phone so can't be arsed to look up X6 spec, but will have a look meself later, be good to hear peoples views.

X6 spec is quite good but I've spent an hour looking at reviews and it's average...they say sluggish screen response and for a phone supposedly strong on the music side, they say call and music sound quality is poor. You also get a years subs with Nokia's 'Comes With Music' service but one review says that's the only thing that saves it from mediocrity...ouch !

I currently pay £25 a month and if I want an iPhone that's going up to £35 a month and I can't justify that.

Been wondering about the Google Nexus or the HTC Hero although the hero has a slightly odd shape but I dare say either one of those may involve a price hike too ?

It's weird isn't it when you look at reviews, the more you read, the more you kinda confuse yourself, some people say the hero is the best thing ever, some say it's utter pants...I guess I've just gotta take a punt and jump in

I'm very happy with mine and wouldn't switch it for an iPhone

Joking apart, I know it has what they call a 'chin' on it, the slightly angled front edge on it - in a pocket is it uncomfortable
