Nokia has unveiled its first ‘Touch and Type’ handset, the X3. The phone combines a touch screen with a traditional 12-button phone keypad. Nokia says it expects the phone to be available in Q3, 2010, for around €125 (£104), excluding taxes and subsidies.
The X3 comes with wi-fi, a music player and an FM radio, as well as a 5 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoo. It also has dedicated music and messaging keys, allowing fast access to Ovi services, including social and entertainment applications. In addition to Ovi Mail, other email and chat accounts can be pushed direct to the phone via Nokia Messaging. 
“We continue to push innovation at all price points,” says Nokia UK managing director, Mark Loughran. “The Nokia X3 brings new consumer value with a device that combines a touch screen and a keypad at an affordable price, offering consumers the best of both worlds.”
