5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive phone April 21, 2011

By Igor Kuklin

I like the fact that it has a full keyboard: make it easy to type SMS, emails, IMs, respond to social networks posts. You can use Opera Mini and Ovi Browser beta for internet browsing, which is nice. Phone can do photos and videos. A lot of applications are available in Ovi Store. Besides, this is a great music device: you can listen to your own MP3s and also to FM radio stations (it will even display song titles in radio!). Quick, stable and well thought-through. And price is more than affordable! Light and looks cool. Nice job Nokia!.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nokia X-2 ; Pretty Good Phone! July 13, 2011

By tom tran

So I was reading the reviews on this phone and it features. I thought to myself this is my kind of phone.

Text Messaging & Picture Messaging;
-I really like the full key board with a good size for the keys and huge space bar which was a personal favorite.
-The conversational thread feature is great. No more inbox view but if you prefer it there is an option to switch. I like how everyone i texts had there own folder specifically for them. When you delete messages you can delete by folder which is very nice. The memory storage is amazing cause I'm someone who like to keep messages so i can back to read later for fun. The phone can keep tons of messages.
-I like the T9 Prediction that helos me spell out huge words without typing out all the letters. I am a person who has to spell everything out so that a big help!
-Picture Messaging format was kinda weird. When you open it hard to view your message so you have to do some playing around before you get a hang of it.
-Making a picture message was a little simpler than viewing one but still kinda weird from normal phones so i suggest you play around with that as well.

Phone Calls ;
-Great sound quality!
-Good speaker volume but could be just a bit louder for my taste
-Making calls is pretty simple like any other phone but let say you typing a text message someone calls you and you accept. Your screen goes back to you typing the message not to the phone call screen. So you might get confuse sometimes whether you picked up the phone or not.
-Ringtone volume is AMAZINGLY loud! Love it!

Music, Radio , Camera & Picture Quality ;
-Music volume with the earphones can be much improve. Im a loud room you won't ba able to hear the music very well....
-Radio has a great feature, it shows you the title of the song which i think is way cool
-Camera quality is okay but could be much more improve but it gets the job done.
-Picture quality is not the bast kinda suckish if i do say myself. Very disappionted but all the other features make up for the lacking in that area.
-When you full screen a picture it not clear as the orignal but blurry.
-Zooming makes the picture very blurry as well.

Web ;
-Pretty good web feature for a pre-paid phone & price.
-Can connect with Facebook, Twitter, & other popular social networking.
-Load time is pretty quick but lags at time.
-Good resolution on the screen.
-Watching videos online might take awhile to load but GREAT quality. Go figure.

Apps ;
-Has your basic calculator, calender, timer, alarm clock, games, voice recorder, to-do list, notes, & etc.
-the games that came with the phone is pretty fun wish there were more. my favorite is "Bounce" which is not a demo!!! so you have the full game!

Settings (Home Screen, Ringtones, Security etc.) ;
-WHEN YOU PUT YOUR PHONE TO CHARGE IT DOES NOT VIBRATE ONLY TUNES! i did not know this little tidbit cause my previous phones all vibrate whike charging. so i spent hours trying to work the seetings on my tones. just a little head up to ppl.
-no , lighting change. only one type.
-many different wallpaper & theme to choose from but if you want to use a picture that is not already included in the phone you will have horrible quality. it'll look like your looking at a blurry blob of color. another great disappointment.
-you are able to customize your homescreen with this phone. i really like this features because it gives me so much shortcuts that i can get into my radio, converstions, pictures, web, camera, & other things just on my homescreen!
-you can also have personal favorites on your screen which is a nice little feature!
-I found that it doesn't show the date on your screen if you do choose to customize it but it an easy fix just have a shorcut to your calender on the home screen.

Others ;
-Visual voicemail which is great cause i can pick which message i want to listen too!
-T-Mobile mall is great! many great things to buy!
-Lock keys is very good way to not accidently dial or anything
-Contact book good format
-OVI Services avaible

*PROBLEMS*
-this phone is not 3G it's actually a 2.5G phone so it will lagg if your trying to go very fast
* laggs if too many meesages come in at once
* trying to go through menu options at a quick speed
* screeen freezes from time to time if use too much
-this phone has a GREAT battery life but takes forever to charge which is annoying at times!
-leave the charger on when full battery make cause some lagging
-messages in canversations might end up in the wrong folder at times which to fix turn off your phone

Overall this phone is a great phone for ppl who are big on texting & web who doesn't want a two year contract. Has some awesome features for a pre-paid phone. Worth every penny you spent on it. Could be better but the phone is great. i reconmend this phone to almost everyone! Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific phone for the $ April 11, 2011

By Stevielynn

I've been a T-Mobile cust for several years and changed my acct to prepaid when my 2 yr contract ended. I recently purchased this phone for the great keyboard and overall affordability. Super phone if you don't need all the bells and whistles of the high end smart phones while still getting plenty of features with very easy set up and use. I love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple without the hassle of a 2-year contract April 2, 2011

By michelle

I just received my phone from Amazon, got it set up online and started using it within an hour. I didn't have to mess around with contract commitments and those credit checks that make everyones stomach tighten a little even if they have "good" credit. Basically you pay for what you use. This was an inexpensive phone that let's you stay connected socially (i.e. Facebook, Twitter etc.) as well as make a simple phone call.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stylish and long battery life May 24, 2011

By Dorin Stancu

Amazon Verified Purchase

Pros:

1. Great battery life; I use the phone sporadically, and only need to charge it once a week, maybe.
2. Nice feel, slim and on the heavy side, like a BB
3. Good key locking feature so no accidental dialing
4. I can set up my network provider on "manual", so I can stay with a weaker signal but not have to pay roaming charges if I cross the border (near the border)
5. Large fonts (adjustable)
6. Good keyboard for texting

Cons:
1. Speakerphone rather weak
2. No external volume controls (soft buttons)
3. Doesn't charge through USB, only plug or car

Overall, a good alternative to a BB, if you don't need data plan (prepaid with T-mobile).
An elegant phone with an entry plan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Crazy Phone! October 18, 2011

By Amjad Ayoub

I ordered this phone on Saturday and got it Monday night from Amazon. I have to say this, after opening the box and inserting my T-Mobile Sim card, I was scratching my head and wondering if this was just another stupid cheap phone. I almost shoved everything back in the box and send back to Amazon for refund. I am an Iphone and Samsung Galaxy S 4G user and I just did not want to bother with this cheap phone. But I decided to dig in deeper and see what this phone can and can't do.

First of all, if you are a touch screen person as I am , this phone is not for you.
After playing with it for couple hours I started liking this little cheap phone even thought the internal memory suck big time and does not allow you to install many applications.
1- I like it because I can have five emails set-up and it was very easy to do.
2- I have all my Yahoo, MSN , Whatsapp and google messngers all installed and they work great. Also facebook and twitter apps come pre-installed.
3- sending and receiving messages and picture message is simple and easy and fun.
4- Sending Email is a snap. Also, you are alerted of new emails in your box.
5- Surprisingly, the Camera is not as bad as you would think, its not the best but it does the job.
6- The screen and display is really clear and pixels are not noticeable as someone mentioned.
7-Be sure you go to OVI STORE and install Opera Mini browser and other apps that you can use on this phone. Not too many apps for this phone but I found Opera, Whatsapp.
8-Battery life is great so far, I used it all night last night and day today and the battery still full.
9- Music Player is great and so is the FM radio but u have to use the headphone to listen to Radio.
10- This is not 3G but it is quite fast even using EDGE.... I watched youtube and it was not really bad.

The Cons:
1- Internal memory sucks
2- Small keyboard
3- No volume controls on the side
4- Not the fastest Internet but it does the job

This is a good phone for price and sure does the job if you are not looking for something fancy. This is good for people who like to text and do social networking. I have decided to keep it and use as much as possible. Taking back my Galaxy prior to my 14 days return policy expires...this phone is more than what I need for now...If you decide to buy one, try it and play with it for few days and am sure you will get used to it. I did! Read more ›
