hours of talk time. You can expand the memory card up to 8GB, more than enough to store your data, pictures or videos using its 2 megapixel camera. This cheap Nokia business mobile device lets you connect using Bluetooth, WLAN, GPRS, EDGE and WCDMA network. There’s no infrared connectivity though and I don’t think infrared is often used nowadays. MMS, email, chat, video calling and push to talk is available in the Nokia E63 and it lets you use a speakerphone. Nokia’s suggested price is $189 only. Bright Hub writer, sobbayi said “All-in-all the design is great and at the market price at which it is set, one would be willing to sacrifice on the steel casing that comes with Nokia E63’s relatives.

The cheapest Nokia phone that I can suggest is the Nokia X3, a slide phone with MMS, email, chat messaging options. It has a 3.2 megapixel camera. The only connectivity to enjoy though is GPRS, Bluetooth and EDGE network. The display supports up to 262,144 colors. Bright Hub writer, Pathik wrote in his review “The Nokia X3 isn’t a very good deal; but it should be a decent option if you want a music phone with a keyboard.
