CWM-less 16GB Nokia X6 Rumored
by admin on Sep.08, 2009, under Comes With Music, Nokia, Nokia X6
Nokia’s capacitive-touchscreen-wielding, XpressMusic-replacing, 32GB X6 is supposed to come with a mandatory CWM subscription, inflating the price of the phone. Now lets face it, this is a service that most of us will not require because we already have our music collections obtained by “various” means. Thus, having to pay for a service we likely get for free is somewhat “less-than-smart”. So we get a cheaper variant of the X6 to the rescue: one that “Comes Without Music”, but also comes without half of the internal memory. Now the memory won’t be an issue if the phone sports a MicroSD reader, otherwise it may be a sore point. And to be honest, I would rather have the MicroSD reader and have to buy my own memory than have no card reader and 16GB built-in. At any rate, the CWM 32GB X6 is expected to be priced at an insane 530 GBP ($940 CAD), and the CWM-less 16GB variant to be price at a less-insane-but-still-outrageous 345 GBP ($610 CAD). I guess we’ll have to wait and see just how fast that price ends up dropping post-release.
