Nokia X3 - Xseries Mobile Phone - Key Features

The Nokia X3 is our first glimpse into the new Xseries, the X3 is an affordable Series 40 slider. It packs stereo speakers, excellent audio quality and a built-in FM radio antenna for a complete sonic experience. All right, we said affordable, so don't go looking for top-notch gear beside the obvious full music package.

The specs look like nothing to be excited about but a shortish feature list never tells the whole story. So, think before you go "Nah, it sounds lame", because you'll be wrong about sound. We spent several days with it and now we're ready to tell you the story behind those specs, the good, the bad and the ugly, the whole thing.
