NOKIA X2-01

Nokia has announced the Nokia X2-01 today. The new smartphone has a QWERTY keyboard below the screen and has a 2.4 inch QVGA display.

The X2-01 keyboard has been planned for those that use a lot of electronic mail and text messages and allows a more tactile way to type when compared to a virtual keyboard. Facebook has been included in to the X2-01 with friends status' showing up on the home page of the device.

With the Nokia X2-01 falling in to the X series of devices, it also gives access to a lot of multimedia functionality. One click access to music is included along with an FM radio and Ovi Music. The Ovi Music services lets users download an unlimited amount of music whilst they are subscribed to the service.

For connectivity it has GPRS and EDGE although there is no WiFi on this smartphone. The lack of WiFi is mainly due to the low price of the device which is priced at €80 before tax and subsidies, which means you should easily get it for free on a low cost per month contract.
