As part of its “V” Festival promotion, Virgin Mobile UK will be offering special “V” versions of two Nokia smartphones – the X6 and 5230.
Specs wise, both devices remain unchanged. There are, however, differences in terms of the pre-loaded content:
- Shazam is part of the firmware – so you can detect a song while on a festival.
- Nokia 5230v comes with ten free downloads from the Ovi Music Store (what’s with the X6?).
- V Festival application pre-installed.
- Ovi Maps with free navigation remain the selling point of both phones.
Probably the most interesting feature is that V Festival application which sounds super useful for the attendees. You can build your own schedule of bands and events, tie that information into the integrated map and eventually share it with friends. Moreover, there are Twitter and Facebook feeds that keep you in the loop with the latest festival news.
Those unfamiliar should know that V Festival is an annual music festival held in England during the penultimate weekend in August. The event is held at two parks (Hylands Park in Chelmsford, Essex; and Weston Park in South Staffordshire) simultaneously which share the same bill — artists perform at one location on Saturday and then swap on Sunday.
