Unfortunately Geeks do not appreciate some of the phones that Nokia are making that clearly aren’t targeted at them take the C6 an excellent devices yet always being called boring and an N97 mini clone the X3 touch and type is another example its a great phone but will be dissed because its not for them. Its sad that people do not realise that there is a wider world where people have a much lesser income potential and phones like this one are pretty much the high ends for them, and that idiocy annoys me.

BTW the naming thing is annoying its not easier I hope Nokia dont go overboard with it.

When I heard X3 I wasn’t that excited – but this is a totally different product/design to the first X3. (Dang this name thing from Nokia was meant to make it easier no? Imagine wanting this X3 for christmas and getting the other one.)

Having been in the Philippines – a developing nation where for the majority of people, the most basic device is their best bet of getting into tech, this will very much appeal. C3 for instance seems v popular in Phils, and you get many nostalgic trips as you see many old generations of Nokia phones still proudly used.

I think the users of this phone don’t see this kind of gadget geek sites.

I think they are going to sell 100 million of these. I like phones like the N900 but still I think this phone is appealing

No N7 for sure. Maybe some prototype show of Meego possibly…

Oohh good point there looks like a new font going forward. This might sound weird but this might be the phone that changes Nokia fortunes and not the N8. The UI is arguably better looking than Symbian 3 and is smoother, and not to forget this is a S40 phone.

Did any one notice that this phone does not use the regular Nokia corporate(Nokia Sans 60) font found on every other Nokia phone.This is some new font.
Anyway its looks clear and beautiful.

Dear John, for that – I will save a prayer.

You are right, but now it’s almost 10 years later and other manufacturers are delivering more than enough gadgets like this. Anyway – the 70 % population may have their fun with an S40-Device with an 2,4 inch touchscreen – I hope so. I will feel better in the corner of the remaining 30 %.

visitor : Honestly, is anybody interested in this phone?

Probably only something like 70 % of the Earth's population. Seriously, this phone has all the potential to knock the venerable 3310 out of it's all-time bestselling phone title, and that phone sold 120 million units.
