Hey guyz i just saw Samsung Pixon phone with my friend,and really it has a great camera ...M confuzd between Nokia X6 or pixon...With hum shud i go?

It totally depends on your needs that you want to get fulfilled. Well both Nokia and Samsung both are the big names in the Mobile Business. Let me know about your needs and I will try to clarify the confusion that you are stuck with. If you ask me then I think that you should go with Nokia X6. It has really some more beneficial things when you will go for the comparisons. It has 5 MP camera and the battery life of Nokia is also durable.
