User Reviews for 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....

I have just bought this phone and being a regular buyer, thanks again to Flipkart for amazing packaging and delivery. In short, the phone is good enough if you are looking for a basic phone. It looks good, specially the back battery cover. The phone is a little bigger than other basic phones. Makes it easy to hold it and not for the girls.n Battery is awesome, much bigger than other batteries. 1320 mAh for a basic phone is more than enough. On a whole, at first look, it gave me the feeling of the Nokia phones of old times, good battery, solid body, and reliable.n Both the sim cards work at the same time. The problem is when one sim is busy, the other does not get any network. But hey, "Busy in other call" is more or less same as "Out of range". If the caller has something important, he/she'll call you again in 5 minutes in any of the cases.n Coming the mp3 player, to be frank, this is better than I expected. Get a good earphone and it can surprise you too! The card reading is good. I have inserted upto 8GB cards till now, and it works very fine, arranging the music files in a few seconds. And the good battery will let you play music for a long time. The speakers are loud enough and it is smooth, doesn't hurt the ear, not the phone. Sound is clear and the speaker doesn't give up at all at full volume.n But, this could be better if it had come with a file manager and a picture viewer. Don't know why Nokia did not include these features. However you can surf track list and even music folder list from the music player itself. n It does not have a data cable connectivity port. The reason is, I think, the low price. The cost of a card reader is compensated here.

I am a very big fan of nokia. I like the user friendlyness of nokia handsets. but this happens sometime which makes you feel strange.......nnI am using this phone from last 2 months(infact only 1 month, after that i decided it should not be used).nnThere is a very big problem regarding signal. Many times(99.99) the person who is talking with you can't hear you properly, that person can hear the sound but can't understand what you are speaking. Very bad phone if you are using it as a mobile.nnit is very good if you are using it as a mp3 player. Sounds loud while playing songs. bettery is amazing.nnnI loose the faith on nokia, and that's why samsung is getting more coverage on mobile market.nnnseriously dont buy this phone, if u still want to buy it i will give this phone to you with very nominal price.nnthe lowest rating i can give here is 1. If giving 0 as rating would posibble, it would give 0,probable -1, -2, -3 also can be given but not posibble to give that rating.nnnplease dont buy this mobile.

hi,n I am a genuine user of dual sim since 2007 (was using spice 4580- still a beautiful phone). I thought of giving Nokia a try but seems like Nokia is far behind in dual sim technology. The phone has 2 basic flaws:na) Network gets hung when you have 2 sim cards in (seems like a problem with the multiplexer component inside).nb) THe phone restarts on its own.nnI strongly suggest go for spice mobile (from my experience) if you want to try dual sim. Or best case go for dual sim active (available in Samsung) (all these phones nowadays are dual sim standby- which means that they use one microprocessor switching to cater to both sim networks thats why one network fades when you start calling/smsing from the other network). nA phone is for talking and if you cannot do that you just have earned yourselves some elephant tusks which are of no use to you!nI hope Nokia company sees my review and fixes the problem in X01 soon (its otherwise a neat phone except for the basic network / restart problem).
