Nokia's X6 touchscreen
smartphone, the manufacturer's first with a capacitive touchscreen(INFO) display, will become available in the UK on Friday.

The Nokia X6, the latest music-oriented smartphone, flagship of the firm, is now available in selected markets. Nokia did not say what exactly its markets, but we know for example that customers in the United Kingdom should be able to buy the X6 from tomorrow.

The X6 smartphone is the first Nokia mobile phone to include Nokia Comes With Music – which means you’ll have unlimited access to millions of songs through the Nokia Music Store.

The features of Nokia X6 include a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, 360 x 640 pixels, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, full HTML browser, 5-megapixel autofocus camera and 32GB of internal memory.

The Nokia X6 will be available in Europe, Asia, Middle East and Africa. Price: it will cost €450 – more or less, depending on the country.

The S60 5th Edition smartphone features a customized UI with Nokia Contacts Bar, an easy way for users to get in touch with their favorite people. A 5.0 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics will let users share high-quality photos and video with friends online. Along with 32GB of storage, the X6 comes standard with Comes With Music, Nokia's subscription unlimited music service.

The Nokia X6 will be available exclusively from Phones4U on November 27 for free with a 35 GBP (US$58) per month plan or for free with a 25 GBP (US$41) plan if users trade in an Nseries handset. Users can also pre-order the device from Nokia today.
