Nokia X2-01

NOKIA X2-01 REVIEW

The Nokia X2-01 is clad in dark gray plastic with a glossy black front bezel; for now, that's the only color choice. The X2-01 measures 4.7 by 2.4 by 0.6 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.8 ounces. It's not the slimmest device on the market, but it looks fine next to a BlackBerry Curve, and that's good company to be in for a prepaid phone. The 2.4-inch LCD offers 320-by-240-pixel resolution, and offers good brightness and sharpness for a low-end phone. Six function keys bracket a five-way control pad with a pronounced plastic ridge. Typing on the four-row QWERTY keyboard was a little stiff, but the slightly bubbled keys are roomy and well-arranged. Good build, QWERTY keyboard and one-touch access to music: the Nokia X2-01 has the right ingredients to serve and entertain. And if you’re looking to buy cheap, it’s an offer that’s hard to beat. Nokia has long made the low-end their fortress and X2-01 must be following a strategy that’s proven to work. The Nokia X2-01 is a music phone for the young with emphasis on Facebook and messaging. With its combination of features and form factor versus price, the Nokia X2-01 has a market segment of its own. It’s another foot soldier in Nokia’s offensive in becoming the world’s number one QWERTY phone manufacturer. We are ready to turn a blind eye to some of the disadvantages. 3G is not essential in this price range and so is a decent camera. The S40 is not the best-looking feature phone interface but it would’ve been a lot easier to live with if it had smart dial, some document viewer capabilities or basic multitasking. Cost-cutting is key for the X2-01. Nokia obviously presumes the target audience doesn’t really need those things. The X2-01 is all about simplicity and ease of use plus some great build quality. This entry-level messenger will not be bothered by comparisons. Don’t hesitate to follow us along as we check up the exterior and internals of the X2-01 – we’re about to find out exactly what you’re getting for your hard earned cash. Though Nokia X2-01 has nothing new to offer, its has the wow factor! And all thanks to Nokia’s design team. Appealing design which makes it feel richer than it actually costs. No matter the age group it is targeted on, everyone gets an immediate crush on the phone especially with  its ultra-comfy keyboard. If you’re texting and ‘IM’ing addict who’s looking for a total value for money product the X2-01 is a great buy. Look out for C3 too.
