Nokia X1-01

I would like to start by congratulating Flipkart team for a commendable delivery and customer service. You guys rock \m/(-_-)\m/
Now straight away coming down to the handset......I'll just throw some light on the pros and cons of this phone in detail :

PROS
1. Beautifully finished shell case (Although it is all plastic)
2. Extremely lightweight and nice phone grip....fits your palm perfectly
3. Superb keypad with very soft-to-press and responsive keys....you'll love texting on this phone
4. Sturdy looks and design....the curve does not allow the speaker sound to die out even if the phone is placed with the speaker towards the ground
5. Both the sims function simultaneously....true dual sim functionality
6. Outstanding built-in loud speaker quality....simply superb
7. Humongous battery backup....ideal for busy lifestyle usage
8. Ideal phone for rough & tough usage....mine has already slipped and fell on the ground twice, no sweat, the back cover comes out alongwith the battery on falling, just reassemble everything and the cell is as good as new, without a scratch
9. Good FM Transceiver
10. Outstanding anticipation to Memory Cards....I am using an 8 GB memory card and it functions smoothly
11. Original dual sim functionality....If you are calling from 1 sim, the 2nd sim calls would be shown as call waiting both to the receiver and the caller
12. Fantastic flashlight torch....really comes in very handy at times

CONS
1. Above average Music player with no Equalizer settings available (But if you have good ear/head phones, you'll love the output quality)
2. No Data cable connectivity port (But you have a Hot swappable slot for memory card)
3. Below Average operating system design....no fun at all and kinda rusty (But who cares, I most certainly do not)
4. GPRS connectivity not possible (I dont need it anyways)
5. No file manager interface provided (But you can manage your songs directly from the player)
6. Navigation key works only 4 ways & cannot be pressed to select any item (Big deal....hah)
7. Front panel of the phone is a finger print magnet (I always keep a wipe handy on need)
8. No bluetooth, video player, customizable themes or wallpapers, photo viewer or call record feature (come on, seriously, what would you expect out of a Rs. 1826 phone from nokia, it already is packed to the brim with more features than what fits the bill)

My rating for this phone on the basis of usability, monetary worth, features, functioning and comparison with phones of the same cost group is 9.5/10

This is definitely a great buy and value for money, guys go for it and you wont regret a bit :)

Great work Nokia and Flipkart........Keep it up :)

I ordered and received this phone with-in 24hrs. I guess thats because I live in Mumbai.
I have been using this phone for about 2 days and here is mytake on this :

Good :
#########
1) Dual SIM, dual standby. A blessing for people in rural areas where one network doesn't give the best reception everywhere.
2) Very affordable at less that 1900 price.
3) "Nokia ka bharosa". (I believe it when they say that)
4) solid, Sturdy build quality exceeds expectation at such low price point.
7) Clean, semi intutive user interface. Anyone who has used low end nokia phones before will feel right at home.
5) Nice Looking with options for different coloured back covers. (Front is always black, I got the white back one.)
6) 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.
8) Hot swap functionality for memory card allows changing songs on device without switching off the phone.
9) Torch comes in handy at times.
10) Huge 1320 mAH battery. No need to charge for extended periods even with moderately used music playback and telephony.
11) 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)

Bads :
#########
1) No center selection key (A biggie for me).
2) No Fast-forward/Rewind feature on music player (not a deal breaker, can live with that).
3) Only plays mp3 files (acceptable as mp3 is the most popular format).
4) Music library organised by folders instead of Album/Artist/Songs..
5) No PC suite/USB connectivity
. Only way to transfer data is through Micro SD card.

Overall feedback :

GO for it!

SOUND
If 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.

There'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.

When 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.

If 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.

DUAL-SIM and SAR
This has dual-SIM which works well...you can have both the SIM cards active at the same time...or just one of them.

Remember 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).

Using 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.

BATTERY LIFE
Coming 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.

WHAT'S NOT THERE
One 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.

This phone doesn't have that...you can only lock the keypad with a password.

And yes this phone does have a BRIGHT TORCH which is quite useful.

Hope 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Does this phone have a torch. because in the pics it look likes that it has a torch, when seen from upwards, but the torch is not given in the specifications of the phone
