But if you want a quick summary of his review, the conclusion in CJ’s words is:

 I actually really think it might be great for first time smartphone users. Or just folks looking to get something as simple and solid as one of Nokia’s Asha or S40 phone, but with access to a lot more apps and general functionality.

The Nokia X is a really hard phone to work out. On one hand, it’s a really affordable phone with expectedly budget specs. On the other hand, it’s not much better than the Nokia Lumia 520 which sits above it in the product line but is now priced very similarly. The only advantage the Nokia X has over the 520, in my opinion, is access to a lot more apps. Almost any Android app that can run on 512MB of RAM will work on the Nokia X, but the challenge would be finding all those apps or apk files outside of the Nokia Store. For example, Instagram isnt (at the time of this post) available on the Nokia Store for the Nokia X, nor is it on the Amazon Store, so you’ll have to hunt around for the .apk installation file.

I urge you to read the full review at the link above, and we’ll be sure to get our hands on a Nokia X ourselves and give our own thoughts on it, but for now I trust CJ’s opinion.
