Nokia X3-02 Review

In a nutshell: The Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type is a new style of phone with both a touchscreen and an alphanumeric keypad. Although it's a resistive touchscreen and quite small (for a touchscreen), it's certainly a lot better than not having one, and we think that it's a real asset. The X3-02 is incredibly lightweight and thin too, and will slide into the smallest pocket with ease. Yet it manages to pack in a fully featured music player and radio, lightning fast internet access and Wi-Fi. The camera's average and we'd have liked more memory, but overall the X3-02 gives you a lot for your money.
Best buy: *Free* with free line rental from Dialaphone (Silver) or Dialaphone (Graphite); or £69.89 on PAYG from Dialaphone (Graphite or Silver).
What is it about Nokia? They release a terrible slide phone, the Nokia x3 , then they come out with a completely different phone and call it the X3-02, hoping nobody will notice. Confusing or what? But at least they keep on trying, and the X3-02 is actually a lot better than the X3. It's not an update you understand, it's a completely different model. Maybe Nokia's environmental folk think they have to recycle names as well as raw materials.
Anyway, the X3-02 is a new breed of phone called Touch and Type. It's got a keypad and a touchscreen, you see. Sony Ericsson have been here already with the Aino and that ended in tears, but at least Nokia have priced the X3-02 sensibly. The key feature of the X3-02 is the screen/keypad combination, so let's talk about that first. We've never been a fan of alphanumeric keypads. Ever. But plenty of people seem happy with them, and it's obvious that pairing the keypad with a touchscreen has got to be a good idea. The screen's quite small, and being resistive it isn't the most responsive touchscreen ever, but it's better than not having one. In fact, we think it's a great idea.
Featurewise, the X3-02 is again an oddity. It has a lot of some things and not enough of others. In brief, it's greatest assets are its incredible thinness and lightweightedness; its brilliant array of connectivity including high speed 3G HSDPA and Wi-Fi, its music player and radio and its general funkiness and wide choice of colours. On the bad side, the camera has full focus instead of autofocus, and no flash either, no GPS and not a lot of memory.
On balance, it's a nice phone, and we're totally sold on the Touch and Type concept. Give it a try, you might like it. Just make it clear that it's the X3-02 you want. On no circumstances get the X3 by mistake.
