Nokia X3

Nokia X3 Review

In a nutshell: The Nokia X3 is an inexpensive slide-design music phone. It has a good music player, FM radio, memory card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack and stereo speakers. It also comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera and has good battery life, but is let down by a poor quality keypad and is well over-priced for what you get.
Best buy: £79.90 on PAYG from Mobiles.co.uk (Black).
Review: February 2010. Last updated June 2011.
Here's a secret: at Mobile-phones-uk.org.uk we're not big fans of Nokia's slide phones. They never seem to get them right. First, there's the infamous Nokia wobble, then there's usually a whole load of problems that emerge when you start using them. But let's not get distracted by all that now. Read the review and find out a bit more about the X3 first.
So, the X3. What is it? It's a budget music player with a slide design. Everyone wants touchscreen phones these days, but maybe not everyone. You maybe want a phone with a normal keypad because all that touchy-feely stuff never seems to work properly. That's good. Here's the X3.
So, it's a budget phone. Costs less than £100. It's a music phone. It plays music and has stereo loudspeakers. You can play your music out loud, if you like that kind of thing. If not, it comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack so you can use some proper grown-up headphones. There's an FM radio too, and you can add a microSD memory card up to 16GB and store your whole collection. It's an Xseries phone too, so it has dedicated music keys on the front. That's all good.
What else? Well, it's a slide phone, so it's nice and compact and not too heavy. No 3G, but battery life is good. The screen's very small. The camera's below average for the price too, meaning no autofocus or flash, so don't expect to do a lot with it. There's little onboard memory and there are no "extras", just the basics.
But why only one star for this rather unexceptional phone? It's the keyboard, it's just awful. The first one we tested, we actually thought it was broken. So we tried another. It was the same. The keyboard just has a totally non-clicky, flaccid response. And that's just unacceptable.
What a shame, as it could have been a nice inexpensive music phone. The question then, is what to buy instead? You could try the Nokia x3-02, which is far superior, or you could even downgrade to the old Nokia 5310 XpressMusic, which has the key advantage of actually working.
