As usual, Nokia’s booth contained the usual hodge-podge of device offerings, third-party developers and Nokia services. I managed to get a bit of hands-on time with both the Nokia X6 and the Nokia XPressMusic 5800 Navigation edition – read on to find out more.

First of all, a look at the device:

According to Nokia staff, this box is a “lifecycle update” of the original XM5800. This means that there is not much new…except for the car holster and the lifetime Navigator license:

Nokia’s X6 is the more interesting device – it has the Ovi store on the front page:

My sample had huge issues with the back cover falling off, revealing the internals (much to the embarrassment of the attending staff, which thought that I had torn the device down myself):

Unfortunately, it looks like the little critter will not offer a stylus. Due to its screen being capacitive, it’s finger-or-nothing here:
