Music makes a comeback on new touchscreen phone

(Nokia)

Nokia has announced the arrival of a new, smaller capacity version of its popular X6 music phone.

Nokia X6 32GB's "little brother" sports 16GB of on-board memory (enough to store 5,500 songs), a 3.2-inch widescreen capacitive touchscreen, WiFi, GPS and a 5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash.

Features on the 16GB model are identical to the Nokia X6 32GB model; the only exception being the 16GB phone is sold without a subscription to Nokia's "Comes with Music" (a one-year unlimited music downloads) service.

Nokia's recently announced free Ovi Maps pedestrian and vehicle turn-by-turn navigation system is compatible with the X6 16GB phone.

Consumers will be able to get their hands on the Nokia X6 16GB in the first quarter of 2010 for around €399.
