Nokia X1-01

I ordered and received this phone with-in 24hrs. I guess thats because I live in Mumbai.nI have been using this phone for about 2 days and here is mytake on this :nnGood :n#########n1) Dual SIM, dual standby. A blessing for people in rural areas where one network doesn't give the best reception everywhere.n2) Very affordable at less that 1900 price.n3) "Nokia ka bharosa". (I believe it when they say that)n4) solid, Sturdy build quality exceeds expectation at such low price point.n7) Clean, semi intutive user interface. Anyone who has used low end nokia phones before will feel right at home.n5) Nice Looking with options for different coloured back covers. (Front is always black, I got the white back one.)n6) Supports memory expansion upto 32GB, so even the most agrressive music enthusiasts will be satisfied with number of songs that can be stored on the device.n8) Hot swap functionality for memory card allows changing songs on device without switching off the phone.n9) Torch comes in handy at times.n10) Huge 1320 mAH battery. No need to charge for extended periods even with moderately used music playback and telephony.n11) Standard 3.5 mm audio jack gives freedom to use your favourite earphones with it. (Kind of necessary as the bundled earphones are very low quality)nnBads :n#########n1) No center selection key (A biggie for me).n2) No Fast-forward/Rewind feature on music player (not a deal breaker, can live with that).n3) Only plays mp3 files (acceptable as mp3 is the most popular format).n4) Music library organised by folders instead of Album/Artist/Songs..n5) No PC suite/USB connectivityn. Only way to transfer data is through Micro SD card.nnnOverall feedback :n##################nnGO for it!

SOUNDnIf you are buying this phone for music, let me tell you...you won't be disappointed. This is not only the best music phone you can get within 2000 bucks...but also the best music player.nnThere's no MP3 player or video player which sounds as good and loud as this one through the speaker....and you can use it as your phone too.nnWhen I first played this in the corridor of my hostel, some of my friends began coming out of their rooms to check out what phone I had...and all of them said that it was quite loud.nnIf you're going to use the earphones to listen to music, DON'T use the Nokia earphones which come with this box...it sounds very average. When I used my Cowon earphones...there was a HUGE difference in sound quality....it was far RICHER and CLEARER.nnDUAL-SIM and SARnThis has dual-SIM which works well...you can have both the SIM cards active at the same time...or just one of them.nnRemember that using two SIM cards at the same time makes the wireless antenna work harder...which may increase your exposure to SAR...if you are concerned about SAR radiation. The maximum SAR value for this phone is 1.28....its safe (below the minimum 2) but most phones have SAR values below 1 (usually between 0.30 and 0.80).nnUsing just one SIM card instead of two will also make your phone battery last longer. Use two SIM cards only when you really have to. It's better to switch off the other SIM card (yes you can do that) when you're not using it. You can activate it whenever you want to..but if you're not using it, it's wiser to keep it inactive.nnBATTERY LIFEnComing to battery life, this is again where the phone shines. Battery life is exceptional. I listen to music a lot but this phone still keeps going for days.nnWHAT'S NOT THEREnOne feature that I really miss in this phone is SMS lock. In Samsung phones (even the most basic ones), you can easily lock the SMS folder with a password so no one can see your messages. You could easily make calls or listen to music...only your SMS folder gets locked. nnThis phone doesn't have that...you can only lock the keypad with a password.nnAnd yes this phone does have a BRIGHT TORCH which is quite useful.nnHope this helps....
