During our vacation in Singapore a week ago, my mom decided to look for an affordable Wi-Fi enabled phone to be used as her secondary phone. I recommended the Nokia C3 but was disappointed by the lack of 3G. A salesman showed us the Nokia X3-02 which is a candy form touch screen phone with Wi-Fi but my mom said it was ordinary looking. Then we stumbled upon a cute looking Nokia phone, the Nokia X5-01. We bought the phone at the Nokia Shop at Funan Digital Life Mall in Singapore at a price of 299 Singaporean Dollar.
The phone has all the usual stuffs except the secondary phone for video conference. It is a square shaped slider phone that has a dedicated button for music access, which can sometimes be annoying since I keep on accidentally pressing it whenever I press the back/exit button. Shaking the phone for changing the music works but you have to shake it hard to do so. The built is great, no wobbly parts so far. The back of the Nokia X5 is made of metal, which make it elegant looking. The memory card is located at the back of the battery; you have to turn the unit off to remove/insert the memory card. The mobile phone got a 2 GB Micro SD included. Other things inside the box are the charger, manuals, PC data connector and cheap looking headphones. The sound of the Nokia X5 is loud and clear. The dancing game is that is installed is fun to play with.
