Like so many other smartphones, the X3 also features MP3 capabilities along with an FM stereo, 3GB of memory, a five megapixel camera with 4 times zoom technology that allows for still pictures as well as video. And as always, Nokia strives for affordability so that people with almost any income can have the benefits of new technology without paying a hefty price tag.

The X3 will go on sale at the end of 2010 and consumers can expect to pay 125 Euros for it, excluding taxes and any promotions from cell phone service providers.
