Nokia’s X6 follows the 5800′s footsteps, while the X3 brings Ovi Store to Series 40

We’d be tempted to use the word “featurephone” on the X6 (pictured) if it wasn’t Nokia behind the handset, pumping the relatively chubby 0.55-inch thick form factor with 32GB of storage, a 5 megapixel camera, a dual LED flash, TV-out, and a 3.2-inch touchscreen. The phone is also a Comes with Music only handset, so don’t expect to get all boring and old with this phone in your pocket — or to pay for a voice plan that doesn’t include the service. Otherwise, the phone seems to be a slightly slimmed down Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, sporting the same OS, A-GPS (with Ovi Maps), and we suppose a similar resistive touchscreen. Nokia was kind enough to include a free copy of Spore along with the Ovi Store, and plans to ship the handset in Q4 2009 for 459 Euros (about $652 US) before subsidy.

The X3 is a much tamer affair than the X6, offering a 2.2 non-touchscreen, a slide-out keypad, and Series 40 for an OS. There’s a 3.2 megapixel camera, but you’ll have to spring for a microSD card if you need significant onboard storage. What’s new is that the X3 is the first Series 40 handset to include the Ovi Store, which should help it edge out the competition when it comes to functionality. The price isn’t bad either, at 115 Euros (about $163 US) before subsidy. It’ll be out in Q4 as well.

Update: We’ve added a brief video after the break.
