• The latest Nokia X3 sidesteps that neatly by offering both a touch screen and a traditional 12-button keypad.
• Mary McDowell, who’s in charge of Nokia’s mobile phones, said the company recognises that many people still want buttons for rapid texting: “Our research tells us consumers who have invested years in becoming fast one-handed, one-thumb texters want to maintain their speedy edge for SMS, chat and instant messaging – yet enjoy the benefits of touch as well. ” Despite two sets of controls, though, the X3 Touch and Type is one of Nokia’s thinnest devices: it’s 9. 6mm deep, 106mm tall, 48mm wide and weighs just 78g.
• The X3 Touch and Type has also got dedicated music and messaging keys for quick access to the music player and email.
• Apps downloaded from the Ovi Store can be used through the 2. 4-inch touch screen, so users don’t miss out on any of the latest games or productivity apps.
• In selected markets, the X3 Touch and Type will be offered with Ovi Music Unlimited, allowing access to a library of over 11 million tracks.
