You’ve seen what the Nokia X6 looks like in glamorous press shots and some impromptu hands-on snaps to boot. Now it’s time for the FCC to have its way with the thing, bringing its special flavor of “celebrity caught at 7:00am without her makeup on” style of photography. The 32GB smartphone sports a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen and is slated to ship sometime before the end of the year for 459 Euros ($650). With FCC certification out of the way, Nokia should have no problem getting this into American pockets before we run out of months.

Donuts for everyone! Well, not everyone — but as we’d heard, at least some G1 and myTouch 3G owners on T-Mobile USA are now being blessed with an official Android 1.6 build over the air. The carrier says it has “begun delivery,” which we take means it’s not all happening at once; that’s the way the 1.5 rollout was handled, so it really doesn’t come as a surprise. Keep checking for that update notification, folks.

Remember how exciting the original G1’s box was? It had all these colorful squares on it and laser-cut “G1″ text across the top — a true packaging classic. Of course, T-Mobile had to raise the bar yet again with the materials on the myTouch 3G, so it came in a nifty hard-shell nylon zippered carrying case. Is it even possible to top that? Probably not — and it looks like they’re not even trying with the CLIQ, which looks like it’ll just be coming in a conventional cardboard box with exciting graphics teasing MOTOBLUR’s social capabilities. Realistically, the odds of holding on to the packaging for more than about 30 seconds — the time it takes to tear everything out of it — are slim to none anyway, so really, they could’ve put a picture of a Renew on there and we would’ve been just fine.
