The Nokia X6 was launched before Christmas and in the coming weeks we’ll see it starting to ship on T-Mobile and Vodafone networks, as well as in the Carphone Warehouse. The Nokia X3 by comparison is an entry-level handset that still comes with a number of interesting feature. Want to see what they look like side-by-side? Then join us after the jump for a blow-by-blow run through of the Nokia X6 versus Nokia X3…

We’ve managed to get our hands on both the Nokia X6 and the Nokia X3 and we have to admit that both handsets have caused something of a split in opinion. While we knew people were going to be impressed with the capacitive screen and whopping 32GB of storage on the Nokia X6, we weren’t quite ready for the reaction the Nokia X3 has gotten.

Basically, we’ve been showing the handsets to friends and colleagues and the Nokia X3 is getting an amazing reaction. The most common phrase is ‘Now, that feels nice in the hand!’ quickly followed by comments about the brightness of the screen and how easy it is to use. Sure, these are what we expect from a Nokia phone but there is something pleasing about seeing the reaction people have had with the Nokia X3.

You have to remember that the Nokia X3 is primarily aimed at the budget end of the price scale and at emerging markets and isn’t intended to go head-to-head with the likes of the Nokia X6 but as the two choices that currently make up the Nokia X Series of music phones we thought it would be good to see how they compare.

So, what do you think, do they live up to expectations, let us know what you think in the Comments below.
