Release history
The X5-00 was released in China in the second quarter of 2010 as the X6 could not be released in that region.[1] This is due to China is still using the partial-3G TD-SCDMA mobile network for their mobile phones unlike other selected countries which started to use the 3.5G HSDPA mobile network. Although the original version of the X5 is China's alternative version of the original X6, it does not have a large on-board memory and the Comes with Music service.
Later on June 2010, Nokia announced that the X5 will gain a release in countries other than China. Named the X5-01, it features a wider but smaller 2.36-inch screen, better microSDHC support (up to 32 GB SDHC) and will use the HSDPA network mode. It was released on September 2010.

The original X5 is a candybar mobile phone with an alpha-numeric keypad and features a Carl Zeiss 5-megapixel camera equipped with a dual LED flash, 256 MB internal memory and can use up to an 8 GB microSD card while Nokia X5-01 is a slider mobile phone with a QWERTY keypad and features the same 5 megapixels camera with the same LED flash, ARM 11 600 MHz processor, 200 MB internal memory and up to 32 GB microSD (2 GB card included with sales package).
