The latest Nokia X3-02 is clearly among the best 2011 mobile phones in the mid-segment order thanks to the compact price (see US, India and Pakistan price here) and touchscreen capabilities. Nokia has ensured competition with the Nokia X3-02’s resistive Touchscreen for the “touch-and-type” lovers. The Nokia X3-02’s US price is approximately $ 214. The Indian price is approximately Rupees 10,217 while for Pakistan the price is approximately Rs. 18,390. I sourced these prices from mobileprices.com.
Nokia X3-02: Full Features and Specifications
There are some interesting features on the latest Nokia X3-02 mobile phone. For instance, I live the “touch and type” interface. Although the phone’s touch capabilities are limited – its resistive touchscreen, how many mobile phones of the middle order can boast of a good interface? Here are the full specs of the Nokia X3-02. (Please note that this site cannot guarantee you that the information presented here are 100% correct).
Here is an overview of the phone and its features.
Network
For a mid-segment market phone that has no GPS, the Nokia X3-02 has cut some commissions with a 2G Network: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 and 3G Network: HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100. The two features would be two defining factors that would ensure strong competition to Vodafone and Airtel since the trio launched 3G services recently this month.
Size
The dimensions of the phone are 106.2 x 48.4 x 9.6 mm, 45.3 cc and weigh 77.4 g.

Type: TFT resistive touch-screen, 256K colors

I am not sure why a phone that boasts of 3G yet lacks GPS would come with a miserly 50 MB of Internal storage! Although the memory is ‘expandable’ with a microSD and up to 32 GB, 3G users normally do not have patience with small internal memory storage. Unless the phone is question happens to be Dell Pro Venue, nobody would care to tolerate the inconvenience of memory cards!
Internal: 50 MB user available

Camera
One of my favorite features is the camera. The Nokia X3-02 is offering a hefty 5 Mega Pixle primary camera – bigger pixels than most middle order mobile phones in the market today. The phone camera market is already saturated but with Nokia’s brand name, the 5MP camera will have the photo lovers flocking to the counter. The standard 2 MP phones will have a hard time keeping up as the latest Nokia has come up with two important user-demands – touch and type and the camera.

By any standards of middle-order mobile phones, the Nokia X3-02 outdoes all the other phones in middle segment market. In terms of features and optimization, the comparatively compact price considering its loaded features I will certainly choose this phone. Not only can the cash in my wallet fit the phone, the latest Nokia model also gives me some optimized features that are found normally in bigger-segment phones.
