At Nokia World, Nokia, of course, announced new handsets. This morning they announced the Nokia X3 and Nokia X6. First up we have the X3. The X3 is a clamshell handset has: a 2.2-inch display, a 3.2MP camera, integrated Stereo speakers, an FM radio, dedicated music keys, a microSD card slot, and runs S40. The X3 will be available in Q4 of this year for €115 ($164 USD).

I believe the Nokia X6 is the "Alvin" that we saw pass the FCC two days ago. The Nokia X6 is the high-end handset of the two and has: a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display with a 16:9 aspect ratio, a 5MP camera, 32GB of internal storage, Lifecasting (check out what that is here), Ovi Store integration, S60 5th Edition, and a battery long enough to last 16 days of standby time / 35 hours of music playback. The X6 will be available in Q4 of this year for €459 ($654 USD).

We don't know when this will hit the US, but in the meantime, you can check out the Pocket-Lint link here and Fone Arena link here for a couple more photos. The Nokia X3 hands-on video is below; underneath is the hands-on video for the Nokia X6.

We heard that a high-end Maemo-based smartphone will be unveiled at Nokia World 2009 this year and people are guessing that it could be the Nokia N920 - but it could be a bit too early for that. This smartphone is expected to be higher-end than the recently announced Nokia N900 Maemo-based smartphone and the Nokia N97, so what could it be? We don't know, but maybe it'll be this smartphone.

This is the Nokia Alvin and it has just passed the FCC with: 32GB of internal memory, tri-band WCDMA / quad-band GSM connectivity, Bluetooth / WiFi support, and a 1,320 mAh battery. These features match the N900, but it seems a bit too thin to be the N900. I'm sure we'll see it announced at Nokia World this year. I'm excited.
