The Nokia X3, Espoo’s second blower in its new Xseries of music mobiles, just slipped through our letter box. Naturally, we’ve ripped it straight out of its packaging for a proper hands-on photofest, so read on for all the piccies and first impressions in our gallery.
The Nokia X3 was launched way back in September last year, but it’s only just beginning to find its way into stores now. If you’re on the lookout for a budget phone though, from our first play it’s shaping up to be one worth waiting on.
While the Nokia X3 only runs Symbian S40, not the more powerful S60, the 2.2-inch screen it’s displayed on is bright and vivid. Although the Nokia X3 is short, it’s also stumpy, but we don’t mean that in a bad way, as it’s thick and really solid: this will survive some seriously high drops, we’ve no doubt.
The keyboard is also a solid, no frills T9 pad that’ll do you right for firing off text messages on the fly, and of course being a music phone, it comes bundled with some decent looking cans.
We’ll be putting the Nokia X3’s actual sound quality through the ringer in a full review shortly, but in the meantime, take a good look at it first in our gallery before dropping any notes on Nokia’s online store.
