The original Nokia X3 was announced back in September 2009 and features a sliding alphanumeric keyboard. The newer sibling, the Nokia X3-02 Touch & Type, was revealed just this August and now has a resistive touch screen and a standard alphanumeric keypad.

“resistive” touchscreen phones are very negative aside from the fact that Nokia release too many models in a given time with some minor upgrades making their phones depreciate fast and obsolete.

my 2 cents, cheers!

i’ve seen the x3 and its really handy, small and thin, i personally like the physical form. but of course, whilst its small size is a nice form factor, it also limits the function to enjoy more applications. this would be good for messages and email.
