Nokia World 09: Will Nokia spell new mid-range phones with an X?

X series phones could replace catchy product names like the 6650 and 6500. God, we'll miss em.

Nokia made a huge noise when it unveiled the N series smartphones in 2006, so it's a bit strange that the two X series phones, announced at Nokia World today, weren't more fussed over.

These two devices are both skinny music devices, but we're hearing that the X moniker could be more significant than the tag for phones than play songs.

Instead, a Nokia insider suggested that X could become the marque for all Nokia mid-range devices in future. That would herald the end of the much loved 6000 series.

Remember those classic names: the 6600? The 6350? Tripped off the tongue didn't they?

So evocative.
