To cash in on the festival season boom, Nokia has rolled out its latest music phone, the Nokia X2 in the market with a price tag of Rs 6,579, which it hopes will find many takers as music phones at affordable prices have been a hit in the country’s markets.

The Nokia X2 is loaded with music features such as dedicated music keys and 3.5mm AV connector, FM radio with built-in antenna, a digital music player and loud stereo speakers. It comes with a 5 megapixel camera with flash and a video recorder, according to the company. This is a bewildering as the X3, which is positioned above the X2, has a 3.2 megapixel camera.

The Nokia X2 is a 2.5G mobile phone, supports GSM / GPRS / EDGE network connectivity. However, the phone has only 15MB memory.

The handset maker is eyeing the country’s youth who are looking for great music and social networking features in the new phone. The Nokia X2 offers access to Facebook from the home screen, latest games and apps downloadable from Ovi Store and Nokia Messaging for email and IM.

The handset provides 26.8 hours of continuous music playback time and the Windows Media Player 11 + Ovi music synchronisation, storage and transfer songs in more simple and quick manner.

Some advantages of the Nokia X2 handset include stylish body design and high playback time. But the disadvantages are that X2 is not an intelligent handset, scalability is limited and the camera is not an auto focus one.

“Nokia X2 is a fantastic mix of great music experience, excellent camera and Nokia services at extremely affordable price points targeted towards the Indian youth,” Nokia India Activation, Media and Online Marketing head Viral Oza said.

Earlier, the Nokia X2 came for Rs 5,999 and now the Finnish giant has revised its price to Rs 6,579. So, this move, taking into account that the phone has a limited memory, may prompt new buyers to shy away from the handset.
