I have used iPhone for a period of time, it has a app store in the phone, from there, I can download a lot of softwares and games. Nokia X6 is a new phone out on the market. It is a music phone, I don’t like it. I think that phone is to calls number, send messages and the Internet several features, it is not worth use phone to listen music. This is something we have to watch out for, X6 has a capacitive display like iPhone, and this is the first capacitive phone of Nokia, maybe it has some defects. iPhone 3GS is the better choice of the two especially if you want a better messaging device with a bigger display and a more powerful processor.
