Nokia X3 Review
The X3 has a suitably refreshed, modern design, with a solid build and smooth slider mechanism. On either side of its 2.2-inch, 320x240 pixel screen are two thin red strips, and the brushed metal keypad is stylish and tactile.
The user interface is customisable and the email features are robust and easy to get to grips with. The X3 also offers some handy short cuts, and Nokia’s handsets are traditionally user friendly.
The music capabilities of this phone are pretty good, as long as you’re no music guru. Kit the X3 out with apps from the Ovi Store to add to the feature set.
Edge data speeds meant that browsing was quite slow with pages taking a while to load, though it was fine for emailing and Instant Messenger. The sound quality is perhaps lacking, and it’s no iPod replacement.
Considering this is meant to be a dedicated music device, the battery life was a little disappointing.
Pros: Can download more apps at Ovi Store, bundled in-ear headphones, includes one year subscription to Comes With Music, home screen customisable with widgets and notifications
Cons: No 3G or Wi-Fi, audio quality lacks richness, small selection of apps at Ovi
