Good build, QWERTY keyboard and one-touch access to music: the Nokia X2-01 has the right ingredients to serve and entertain. And if you’re looking to buy cheap, it’s an offer that’s hard to beat.

Nokia has long made the low-end their fortress and X2-01 must be following a strategy that’s proven to work. The Nokia X2-01 is a music phone for the young with emphasis on Facebook and messaging.
With its combination of features and form factor versus price, the Nokia X2-01 has a market segment of its own. It’s another foot soldier in Nokia’s offensive in becoming the world’s number one QWERTY phone manufacturer.
Key features
- Entry level QWERTY messenger bar
- Quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity
- 2.4" 256K-color QVGA TFT display with great sunlight legibility
- VGA camera with QVGA video recording at 24fps
- Series 40 UI, 6th edition
- Stereo FM radio with RDS
- Bluetooth 2.1 (with EDR)
- Standard microUSB port
- microSD card slot (8GB supported, 2GB included)
- 3.5mm audio jack
- Good audio quality
Main disadvantages
- No 3G
- Piss poor camera
- No smart dialing
- No USB charging
We are ready to turn a blind eye to some of the disadvantages. 3G is not essential in this price range and so is a decent camera. The S40 is not the best-looking feature phone interface but it would’ve been a lot easier to live with if it had smart dial, some document viewer capabilities or basic multitasking.
Cost-cutting is key for the X2-01. Nokia obviously presumes the target audience doesn’t really need those things. The X2-01 is all about simplicity and ease of use plus some great build quality. This entry-level messenger will not be bothered by comparisons.
