The N900 is Nokia’s first Maemo 5 phone causing a lot of excitement due to its Linux-based OS. One the other hand at a touch under 14mm thin, Nokia X6 packs plenty of power and will give music lovers all what they want from their music phone.

Despite all the positive N900 reviews the thing that most of the reviews emphasized is the missing capacitive touchscreen.  Here comes the Nokia X6 which is the first Nokia phone with a capacitive touchscreen.

1. Design:

• Nokia N900: When compared to an average cell phone the N900 feels solid and bulky at 4.37 inches wide by 2.35 inches tall by 0.77 inch thick and 6.38 ounces and therefore, uncomfortable to carry around in the pocket of your jeans. With N900 you get a full QWERTY keyboard, which you can access by pushing the screen upward.
  
• Nokia X6: Nokia X6 at 13.8mm thick packs plenty of power and provides up to 35 hours of uninterrupted music. With a capacitive touch screen you will not miss the absence of physical keyboard.

2. Software:

• Nokia N900: The major advantage of N900 is Maemo 5, the latest version of the Linux-based operating system. This means a lot of much-loved Linux apps will be easily ported to Maemo and it will run things like OpenOffice, AbiWord, Firefox 3.0 and much more.
  
• Nokia X6: The combination of Symbian OS v9.4, Series 60 rel. 5 and capacitive screen makes the UI much more comfortable and beautiful, and is all a lot smoother.

3. Camera:

• Nokia N900: The N900 comes integrated with 5 megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optical lens with dual LED flash. There are multiple camera options, including white balance adjustment, geotagging, exposure settings, and ISO sensitivity. Picture and video quality is quite good and the phone also supports video recording at 800X480 resolution. Even in a darker lit room, the N900 delivered a sharp image with decent coloring.
• Nokia X6: The X6 also boasts a 5-megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics with dual LED flash. Pair of LEDs allow you to snap pictures in low light, and test images show good detail resolution and a high degree of colour accuracy.

4. Battery:

• Nokia N900: The N900 battery BL-5J: 1320mAh is same as 5800 Xpress-Music and promises 2-4 days standby, up to 5 hours (3G/WCDMA) / 9 hours (2G/GSM) 1 day Active Online Usage.
• Nokia X6: Nokia X6 runs on BL-5J 1320 mAh Li-Ion battery and pledges up to 401 hours of standby time and 8 hours 30 min of talk time if running on 2G network.

5. Connectivity:

Both the phones are quadband and GSM-based. Both the phones boast of 3G, WiFi, EDGE, GPRS, Bluetooth and MicroUSB port. However, X6 lacks infrared port and it is capable of supporting HSDPA only up to 3.6 Mbps unlike N900 which is capable of supporting up to 10mbps HSDPA.

6. Price:

• Nokia N900: Currently N900 is available for $549 on newegg.com and on Amazon you can get the phone for $628.
• Nokia X6: The Nokia X6 is available for preorder for an estimated retail price of EUR459 before taxes and subsidies.
