Nokia X6 gets set up for FCC testing, torn down for kicks

You've seen what the Nokia X6 looks like in glamorous press shots and some impromptu hands-on snaps to boot. Now it's time for the FCC to have its way with the thing, bringing its special flavor of "celebrity caught at 7:00am without her makeup on" style of photography. The 32GB smartphone sports a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen and is slated to ship sometime before the end of the year for 459 Euros ($650). With FCC certification out of the way, Nokia should have no problem getting this into American pockets before we run out of months.

Of course, it'd be about €100 cheaper if Nokia didn't insist that it would only be available in Comes With Music. Why release a fixed-up 5800 if you're just going to lumber it with an expensive service few people want?

Like the N900, the X6 doesn't have AT&T-friendly 3G data bands, Waiting patiently on that Sony Ericsson X2a.

I'm pretty sure there will be a NAM version, according to BGR there will also be a version without comes with music.
