Nokia annouces n97 mini, X3 and X6

September 3rd, 2009

Looks like Nokia is getting more creative with their model name nomenclature.

To me the most interesting phone here is the X6. It’s a S60 touchscreen device but it has a capacitive touch screen. It will be interesting to see if that makes a big difference over other S60 resistive touch screen devices like the 5800XM and N97. Other specs: 3.2″ 640×360 display, Triband HSDPA (850/900/2100 or 900/1900/2100), WiFi, 434Mhz processor (same as the N97) and 5 megapixel camera with Zeiss lens. It uses the Nokia barrel port to charge.

The n97 mini is very similar to the regular N97 except the mini is slightly smaller (113 x 52.5 x 14.2mm vs 117.2 x 55.3 x 15.9mm, that’s 75cc vs 88cc) and comes with less storage (8GB instead of 32GB). It still has a resistive touchscreen.

The X3 is a slider phone running S40: 3 megapixel camera, no HSDPA.
