Nokia X3 - Turn for 'X'

A non-touch screen slider phone with Music as main feature is all set to catch eye of mobile enthusiastic. Priced at Around Rs.6600, this mobile indeed an all round phone.But i would say it is not for formal end of use. Only music intended people can try this phone out as i feel this phone is little on higher side as compared to some other phones providing much feature than this mobile. 

X3 has 3.2 MP Camera but no flash,3.5 mm jack for headphone and a micro-USB port. The design of this mobile is so cool and bold that it impressed me at first look itself. The edgy look is also complemented with metal keypad that slide out clearly. But the screen disappointed me. On screens left there are some buttons to function music play.

With a backup time of near about 7 hours, this phone has 46 MB internal memory with 2GB expandable using micro-USB card. Supported by WAP, this mobile has no real back bone for web kit facility. Nevertheless, i still fell this mobile lacks more web-Bone.

My Rating : 6/10 ( Reason being that it doesn't have 3G,GPS, Wi-Fi and more importantly Screen is too small for that cost)

Touch Screen Mobile Devices : Down 8000/- Under

Touch screen,Touch Screen...this is all the young bloods want this days.And why not, simplicity is the need of technology. Thus i thought i would simplify the search for youths by just choosing one of the three mobiles which i feel are really worth of cost and more importantly, fits-in below 8000 INR.
