Finland's gizmo: Nokia X6

Posted by GiZmo-Spot | Thursday, February 11, 2010

The X6 is Nokia's first phone to feature a capacitive touch screen, as all the previous models have used the far less responsive resistive displays, and this makes the 3.2-inch 640x360 resolution screen of the X6 much more accurate in interpreting touch screen requests. This is particularly noticeable during text messaging or typing anything else on the virtual keyboard. We're not the biggest fans of landscape text entry on Nokia's previous touchscreen phones, since they tend to be a clumsy to use with lots of inaccuracies and a limited preview screen. Nokia has corrected one of these flaws with the improved responsiveness of the screen on the X6, but it still hasn't fixed the tiny preview area.
