You know how the guys at Sony Ericsson officially took the wraps off the XPERIA X2 smartphone yesterday? I guess the team in Finland wanted to do them one better,
because we are now taking a look at the Nokia X3 feature phone. It’s no smartphone, but it’s still quite clever. The Nokia X3 is a part of the newest X-series of handsets from Nokia, joining the E-series business handhelds and N-series multimedia smartphones. The Nokia X3 will be running on S40 6th Edition and it is clearly targeting the music end of the scale with its dedicated media controls. I guess the X-series is the evolution of the XpressMusic series.
Some of the features include a slide-out numeric keypad, a 3.2-megapixel camera, tri-band GSM, full HTML browser with Flash Lite 3.0, microSD expansion, embedded stereo speakers, Bluetooth 2.1, 3.5mm audio jack, and the Comes With Music option for unlimited music service. Interestingly, the stereo FM radio with RDS allows you to listen to the radio without having to plug in a headset. In all other phones, you need to use a headset because it functions as the antenna. Such is not the case with the Nokia X3, so that’s a plus.
Look for the Nokia X3 to sell for 115 Euro ($163) before taxes and subsidies when it launches in Q4 of this year.

Nokia introduced the X3, an affordable new feature phone debuting as part of Nokia's new line of X Series handsets. This S40 6th Edition device includes tri-band GSM connectivity, a 3.2 megapixel camera with video recording, and a full-featured HTML browser with Flash Lite 3.0. Most notably, the device includes Comes With Music, Nokia's unlimited music service that lets users keep tracks they download even after their subscription is over.
Users who appreciate music could find the Stereo FM RDS Radio useful when they are not listening to their own collection of tunes that can be stored on external microSD(INFO) cards. The X3 features a standard 3.5mm audio headphone port and Bluetooth 2.1 with +EDR and A2DP for use with headsets and stereo headphones. The device even includes dedicated music controls to easily change tracks and adjust volume.
The X3 will be available in two tri-band GSM configurations: 850/1800/1900MHz and 900/1800/1900MHz. It weighs 103g (3.6oz) and measures 96mm x 49.3mm x 14.1mm (3.8in x 1.9in x .6in) in size. The Nokia X3 will be available in the fourth quarter for EUR 115 (US$163) before taxes and subsidies.
