Nokia X3 Review

The Nokia X3 is an S40 6th edition slider with smallish 2.2-inch QVGA screen and dedicated music keys. It has a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera, quad-band GSM support with GPRS and EDGE, Bluetooth, FM radio, 3.5mm audio jack, microSD slot and integrated stereo speakers.

The latest addition to Nokia's music device portfolio is ideal for people who like to express themselves through their music and their communities.

The Nokia X3 is a sleek and stylish slide phone with dedicated music and volume keys to control your sounds. It also has a combined send/end key and camera-shutter key for quick and easy operation. The design also features lighting effects around the dedicated ‘Navi’ key.

Priced for mass-market appeal, it is the first S40 device - the classic Nokia interface loved by millions - to offer direct access to Ovi Store. Using the store’s catalogue of applications no two X3’s need ever be the same.

As one of Nokia’s ‘Comes With Music’ devices the X3 enables users to discover, download and keep any and every track they want from the millions available in the Nokia Music Store*. The Nokia X3 also supports side-loading from PC - and comes pre-loaded with sample audio tracks and music videos from leading artists.

On top of a great music experience, the Nokia X3 offers a full set of features including a 3.2 megapixel camera, video recording and editing, email and instant messaging, web-browsing, and navigation with Nokia Maps. It even comes pre-loaded with the Guitar Rock Tour mobile game from Gameloft.
