Alright I know I have reviewed a few Nokia devices in the last few months, but that by no means should mean I am its fan. No personal envy, but I seriously feel that Nokia does the most needed very late. The touch screen, OS efficiency and what not?

The X3, as I would put it is a hybrid of the ancient with the modern. Primarily because Nokia sticks to its habit of taking tradition along.

But, it’s the software I detest, the X3 runs on the more ancient Symbian S40 operating system, which should be enough to make you realize that we aren’t talking about a great user interface. Other than that it looks quite good. The specs for the device are as follows:

Sad part, that only a few countries in Europe will have access to more than 6 million songs, sorry US, you are are still in the countries to be list. With this out, users will be able to play Spotify on devices such as the E71, Sony Ericsson Satio to name a few. The application can be downloaded here.
