Nokia X3. Here be giants
The Nokia X3 is part of a slew of recent announcements from the Finnish giants.
Wait… not real giants… although that would be pretty amazing, right? Massive Finnish ogre like people, big as mountains, making announcements about things. CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL, STOP PRODUCING CARBON. That would sort us right out, terrifying as huge giants are.
But anyway, the Finns in question here are of course everyone’s favourite phone manufacturers Nokia, and they have been very busy making all sorts of announcements about the Nokia Money, Nokia N900, Nokia Booklet 3G, Nokia 5230 and Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition and today’s blog topic, the Nokia X3. Which, annoyingly enough, as we like the image, is nothing at all like a giant. Just the opposite, in fact, because the X3 is all about good stuff in small (and cheap) packages. So while you’ve got lots of Nokia’s amazing music technology (cool player, loud stereo speakers, etc), this thing’s got a release price that made us spill our coffee. Which even if your not a pay as you goer will still translate into some mightily impressive Nokia X3 deals. Not only that, but this is also the first Series 40 (the basic, simple, likeable operating platform that you all know and love) to offer direct access to all the apps and sharing functions available on the ever expanding Ovi. And it’s also been designed for lots of social messaging action, with dedicated support for Facebook, Twitter, and lots of instant messaging clients.
Sound like a giant lot of fun (Sorry, we’ll stop with the giants now…)? Then check out this Nokia X3 review, or have a little look at the video below. Just a very little look mind, because as you should expect from those mighty Finns, it’s a shocker of a video. I guess those big giant fingers aren’t so good at using video editing software.
Introduced in early March is another addition to Nokia’s XpressMusic collection. This particular model is known as 5730 XpressMusic. It carries the Symbian operating system and Nokia’s S60 3rd Edition interface. The 5730 XpressMusic features a stylish QWERTY sliding keyboard that is very similar to Nokia’s E75 business phone.
Nokia introduced its latest sliding phone Nokia 5330 XpressMusic on March 11th. Carrying dimensions of 101×48x14mm it weighs 113g and is easy to carry around. The 2.4inch touch sensitive screen is of QVGA resolution and displays 16m colors. You also get the dedicated music player keys at the side of the phone.
After weeks of basically toying with internet gossip mongers, Nokia have finally released details of the
