Nokia 5730 or X6?

I have a Nokia n82 and love the camera and the gps, but it sucks for texting and I'm doing much more of than when I bought it and so I need something that can do a qwerty keyboard. I'm looking at either a Nokia 5730, which looks to have a very nice keyboard, or an X6 (16 GB), which has a capacitance touchscreen.

My primary uses for the phone will be texting, talking, GPS navigation, and as a backup camera. I'll occasionally use it for music (although if the music player on either is considerably better than on the n82, it may be used for that a lot). I also have an ipod touch, so I likely won't be using either on the web very much, especially since I don't have a data plan.

What I want is a phone with a solid gps that get's a fast lock w/o a data plan, that has a moderately good camera (it need not be excellent, but I like being able to take reasonable pics when I'm not carrying my digital camera), and which allows me to text easily on a real or touchscreen keyboard. The free music on the 5730 is a nice additional draw, but isn't enough of one if the x6 is a sufficiently better phone. So, which sounds more like it would meet my needs and why?

I will prefer Nokia X6. It has many great features and functionalities compare Nokia 5730. In Nokia X6, it has 640X320 display size, TFT Capacitive Touchscreen and HSDPA, 3.6 Mbps 3GS which is not available in Nokia 5730. It is light weight mobile. Also, it provides scratch-resistant glass surface, organizer, Photo editor, Voice command/dial, TV-out, Flash Lite 3.0 and T9 feature.

Another vote for the X6 here. I had one and it was really very impressive. You'll love the camera, Nokia has really good sensors and the results can be astounding. Speakers are very loud for the size. GPS is rock solid. Much more inside the box than the Econo-5730.

Oh and the 32gb X6 Comes With Music.
