First announced at an April conference in India with a recent release to India and European markets in June, the Nokia X2 is one of the latest devices to join the popular X series of mobile phones. Borrowing some design details and features from other budget-friendly members of the X series family, such as the X3 and X6, the X2 is intended to serve as an entry-level bargain feature phone. You can find cheap mobiles by shopping from online. The X2 features a candy bar layout, and is a fairly compact device with a 2.2” QVGA TFT LCD screen—a sizeable offering for such an affordable device. Available on the O2, Vodafone, and T-Mobile networks for free with a £15 monthly contract, or £109 without a contract, the X2 is available in two two-tone colourations: black with red accents, or silver with blue accents.

For navigation and interaction purposes, the X2 makes use of the slightly older Series 40 interface, rather than the S60 interface seen in some of its counterparts. Featuring a customisable home screen and profiles, the X2 makes it easy to select different themes and icons to customise the appearance of your phone, or rearrange navigation elements such as widgets, shortcuts, and menu items to make it simple to get to your frequently-used applications. Using the customisable profiles, users can easily switch between different configurations to suit different situations or moods. The Nokia X2 deals available online are usually much better value for money than the ones from town.

In terms of entertainment features, the X2 comes equipped 5-megapixel camera with a 4x digital zoom and LED flash capable of capturing video. Music playback support for common music formats allows you to bring your music library with you on the go, and the 3.5mm headphone jack and Bluetooth connectivity for allow wired or wireless listening. The X2 comes with Nokia’s Ovi application suite, allowing access the Share on Ovi network to share media, and the Nokia Messaging Client, Ovi Chat, and Ovi Mail allow support for multiple email accounts, instant messaging, multimedia messaging, and text messaging. Integrated Flickr and Facebook applications allow you to post social media to your favourite networks and keep in touch.
