Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type review: Slim and sharp

28 October 2010
Nokia is trying really hard to build back some lost trust. The new Symbian^3 smartphones are just one weapon in their armory. The other is the touch-enabled lineup of feature phones called Touch and Type. S40 has never before been into...

          I just bought it on 28th Mar 2011 for INR 9500 with 2GB card(in box) and 16GB Tanscend card extra,but it is showing memory of 2GB card as 2MB.

          Anyone give me solution.

          Does this phone support quickoffice and pdf viewer. If yes, how to go for that. this website says no document viewer. My 1st intension was this only but after bringing this phone I realised the truth.

          pls help me.

              Bought the phone a week ago and here's my review:
              if you want a phone for the basic features of what a phone should do- good call quality, easy messaging, light weight and not too pricey- this is the phone for you.
              the touch screen's easy to use, unlike some other touch screen's i've used. The search feature across names works like a charm- does not hang.
              You can use the touch screen or the old fashioned way of calling.
              The camera's not too good- the max you can use it to prove you went somewhere or saw something.
              if you're used to the old way of messaging on a nokia phone- this is a little different. its easy enough once you figure it out. The only problem is you can't delete multiple messages at a time from your inbox, and you can't delete a message from drafts.
              The battery life's so-so. for talking one hour a day- it'll last you 1 and a half to two days max.
              Charging the phone takes a while with the charger provided- try using one of your old nokia phone chargers- they're better.
              The phone doesn't heat up any more than a normal phone does.
              The sound quality is ok- not great- but manageable.
              configuring email's easy. the browser's great.
              Extremely lightweight- its easy to carry- doesn't seem like a burden.

              Bottom line- Its a great phone if you want to use the phone as a phone. if you want to use it like a mini netbook- try buying a higher end smartphone.

                  I bought X3-02 about a week ago.coz i find it nice and i like the colors but I observe that my phone hang up. and it's not friendly use it somehow confusing me. What i like the most to X3-02 is the opera mini which i can browse net.

                        just got X3-02,and for my sister that goes on Facebook a lot, she and i do prefer the old style virtual curser by use of the keypad tho,for clicking onto txt, as its like using a PC Mouse!! the touchsreen is small and its a bit of a struggle to touch-tap very small words! i find you need to use a Pen or a finger-nail!
                        But it seems a nice little phone thus far!
