Nokia X3 Mobile Phone Review

March 8, 2010

The Nokia X3 is a stylish, attractive and affordable S40 phone with slide mechanism and available in Red/Black, Blue/Silver. It is the first S40 phone that can install and use apps from the Ovi store where hundreds of games and other applications can be downloaded from as well as unlimited free music downloads for the duration of the subscription.

Both the colour schemes that are available make the phone stand out because of its sleek design. With the 3.2 megapixel fixed focus camera it can still take reasonable amount of photos with the 2GB memory included. The photos can be instantly uploaded onto Flickr or Ovi or via Bluetooth.

Being a more affordable version of the S40, it does lack functionalities which the other S40 phones bring but if it’s multimedia that users are after; this one does the job pretty well. There’s a microSD memory card slot so it is not limited to 2GB, there are a variety of larger microSD cards available on the market for people to buy.

The stereo speakers embedded in the phone is great for listening to music outdoors, plus with the inbuilt antenna, it allows the user to tune in to the stereo FM radio anytime they want without the need for a headset. There is up to 26 hours of music playback time, so going on a long journey and listening to music at the same time means that the user would not have to worry about the battery power being low.

For those who just want a phone with good multimedia functions, the Nokia X3 should be the one to buy. It’s less sophisticated functions and features means that almost anyone can use the phone. It is inexpensive, good looking and the unlimited free music downloads available during subscription is all you need for the latest great songs out on the market
