The Finnish wild child has been released, and it’s not going to leave quietly. The Nokia X6 is a party animal, dedicating itself to music lovers and multimedia fanatics alike. What’s more, Phones 4u has managed to snare the rarest of specimens, the Nokia X6 in Blue and White complete with an exclusive live music app, b@TV.

For those of you who are yet to stumble upon b@TV, we’ll explain in the simplest way possible, it’s an Aladdin’s cave of musical talent. The new social platform lets you follow and connect to DJ’s from around the world. With thousands of different artists and DJ’s onboard, including Deadmau5, Calvin Harris and Chase and Status, you can listen to and watch live sets from across the globe at the touch of a button. Better still, with the X6’s TV-out feature, you can plug your phone into the TV and get the gig experience from the comfort of your own home, now that has got to be the foundation for a great house party!

The X6 is without a doubt, Nokia’s most advanced music phone to date. Unlike its predecessors, the music titan has skipped straight past the mid-range portfolio and landed itself a seat at the big boys table, rubbing shoulders with the top-end smartphone crowd. If you’ve had a play with the Nokia X6, then that news shouldn’t come as a surprise. From the offset you can tell that this multimedia beauty is a different to the rest of the music herd, for starters it’s Nokia’s first media driven phone that merges a selection of high end features with some equally impressive smartphone technology. The most impressive of which, is the 3.2” touchscreen; the 16million colour display makes it perfect for video watching and screen size is pretty good considering that the device itself isn’t all that big. But the best bit is yet to come, this vivid display is not only easy on the eye, but on the old fingers too, Nokia has included capacitive technology, meaning the screen is extremely responsive to even the lightest of touches, so there’s no need for any aggressive poking. Running Symbian S60 OS, the menus are easy to navigate and the responsive screen makes navigation a breeze. If you’re a Symbian virgin the only thing that you’ll have to get used to is double tapping icons, but that’s not such a big ask is it?

It’s difficult to get creative with a candy-bar touchscreen and the design reflects most of those on the market, a dominant screen with a selection of buttons underneath to help with menu and call navigation. Where the Fins have let loose is with the exterior, the Phones 4u exclusive sports a rather flamboyant blue and white paintjob… that’ll get you noticed.

The Nokia X6 is the company’s very own party animal, it lives and breathes music, with this in mind the audio features are as you would expect, outstanding. Starting with the basics there’s the obligatory 3.5mm audio jack, and some nifty built in stereo speakers, ensuring that the days of headset only listening are long gone. The music genius can handle an array of different file formats, MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV, so there’s no need to endure the painful process of converting tracks before loading up your phone, there’s also an FM radio onboard, in case you get bored with your music database. With 8GB of memory to abuse, it can be tough choosing what to listen to, naturally there’s the shuffle mode to help you out, but the X6 can also compile a playlist for you based on your mood. All you have to do is flick a few tabs to let it know how you’re feeling and hey presto the X6 will seek out appropriate tracks to suit your mood, clever huh? Throw the b@TV app into the mix and you’ll be pretty hard pushed to run out of musical treats, oh and have we mentioned the X6 will keep going for 35hours before it runs out of juice?

Despite being predominantly music orientated, the Nokia X6 does have some additional features which are well worth checking out. GPS is a big thing at the moment, allowing you to find places at the touch of a button and plan journeys in an instant. The Nokia X6 comes with Ovi Maps, the company’s very own free sat-nav service as well as a handy compass. Raising the entertainment bar is the camera, which is a pretty decent piece of kit, 5megapixels with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus and dual LED flash. The top end feature set continues with the web browser and social network links, applications for all the big social names pull info straight to your homepage and syncs contact info with your address book. As if that wasn’t enough to sink your teeth into, the Nokia X6 comes preloaded with the latest games including EA’s Spore.

So to re-cap, there’s music, videos, games, mammoth storage space and a load of practical media functions, finally a true multimedia handset in every sense of the word!
