Nokia unleashes a lighter less feature filled X6

Fancy Nokia’s ‘ol X6 32GB multimedia powerhouse but just couldn’t come to stomach the 450 euro ($637 USD) the device commanded? You’re in luck. Nokia today launched a cheaper albeit stripped down version of the X6. Two of the biggest changes to this little sister/brother phone is lower amount of onboard storage (16GB), down from 32GB, and the removal of Nokia’s “Comes With Music” service and support.

Getting features removed on newer models is always slightly disappointing, though the reduced price should help ease the sting. Still, in a heavily contested mobile market where competitors are besting or exceeding Nokia in regards to specs and features, is this such a wise move? Perhaps you should give the rest of the specs a gander before making any more decisions eh?

• Symbian^1 (S60 5th Edition)

• 3.2 inch (640 x 360 –16:9 — nHD) capacitive screen

• 5 MP camera w/ Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash.

• Tri-band WCDMA: HSDPA (900, 1900, 2100 Mhz) | Quad-band GSM

• WiFi (b/g), Bluetooth 2.0

• Music playback: 25 hours; 3.5 mm Nokia AV connector for audio (headphones) and TV-Out

• Ovi Store and Ovi Maps (with free navigation)

• Available in several colors: black, white, white with pink highlights and white with yellow highlights

So what do you think? Is the reduced feature set worth the reduced cost? Speaking of cost, this “X6 light” of sorts will come in at roughly 350 euros ($490 USD). Still a bit high?
