gsmarena say:
No Google services (Play, Gmail, Maps, Calendar, Drive), you can't even sync contacts)

cannot sync contact then how ?

download .csv file and email to yourself or copy to memory card and import from within contacts

I'm about to write a little write up to my latest discovery on nokia x being the gps gadget on the road. Well, i activate Here Maps which is found as a defaulted app, then i downloaded the Malaysia map which was 155mb. Best part was you can store all these downloaded files for free and stored in your external memory card. Just go to your settings, click storage memory and choose memory card option. After maps file successfully downloaded, i try to navigate a place, let say solaris dutamas...voila, it then diverted to nokia store to download voice navigation in various languages support. After i chosen English female voice, immediately i hear turn-by-turn voice guidance to either turn left or turn right....All these are free and you may use wifi to download it. It took me 20mins to reach my destination and the best part was, battery consumption is depleted by 8% only from 100% fully charged to 92% when i reach the spot. It was so awesome experience.

Now, this RM3xx gadget has become my main navigation machines and the route is so accurate and i have no qualms finding my way to the next destination.

Red is also striking and nice...well, in fact the 4 colors offered in the market, black, green, red and white has its own unique finishing. The holding experience and touching is kind like solid and you will not find any mediocre made of plastic. I would say, it looks elegant...

One good thing about Here Maps is that you can download the maps for free for most of the countries in the world. You download the country only when you need it, so it is always the most up to date map you will be getting.

Free and very good!

Finally an XDA member have released an AOSP custom rom from Nokia X!
Reportedly its quite stable too with most of the functions working.

Via , Kicap

CYNOGEN team also work on it

name it entry level lumia n high end asha. lack in here but advance in there. nokia is quite clear when they said its purpose is to introduce windows like experience for their users. i know its lack of integration with google services is frustrating but nokia x target is really the first-time smartphone buyers. i'm having difficulty with doc reader coz viewing papers is a daily essential. for this price range, lenovos is good to go for.

still trying to be positive with nokia x btw. Just hope n hope nokia will take their android to the next level, high-end level mayb. what do u think?

that git hub...

here the screenshot

Really worth the money for under RM400 phone :-

-Nokia drive (love the nav without internet connection, not fancy as waze but can get me to places)

-Double to wake screen (love the feature, paired with this Screen Off & Lock no need to use power button anymore)

-Pretty decent can handle time killing simplistic android game

So kudos Nokia for bringing this phone.

double tap to wake up screen? coOL!

Yup, can enable at setting. Also have glance function.

it is such a great device. Go and get one today!

Nokia X is really an affordable smartphone packed with lots of feature. But it is not perfect in every aspect. I would like to list out the pros and cons of this device.
Pros
- cheap at RM399.
- great design inspired from lumia and asha series.
- exchangable back cover to suit every one's preferences.
- preloaded with awesome Nokia services such as Here Maps and Nokia MixRadio.
- battery life that last a full day with moderate use.
- fairly large 4 inch screen (same as iPhone 5/5s. A decent PPI of 233
- Double tap to wake and glance screen ( This is a very COOL feature that only high end lumia phones used to have, though asha series have them too)
- It is an 'android phone'. XD. Meaning there are tons of apps waiting for you to download.
- Fastlane ( a unique home screen which show your activities in the past, present and future)
- Has microSD card slot
- Nokia X operating system (depends on a person's preference, might be considered as con)

Cons
- only 512 MB of ram, means that the OS might be sluggish if running some heavy task.
- only 4gb of internal storage.
- no front facing camera, rear camera is only fixed focused 3.15MP. But at this price point, it is great to have a camera.
- For android fans, there are no play store or google apps, you have to sideload them somehow.
- No gorilla glass or scratch resistant glass for the screen. I mean like even the asha 503 has it, so why not?
- Nokia X operating system (depends on a person's preference, might be considered as pro)

There u go guys. Please give out your thoughts.

zenfone 4 or nokia x?
rm248 vs rm338

Actually 512mb ram is sufficient to play most games found in nokia store. In fact, asphalt 8 runs without noticeable lag on nokia x. Look here



Regarding 4gb, i have many games and apps installed and yet i still have storage for more...
Camera is considered decent for its pricing.
Playstore is available if you know how....

Basically the cons are not the weakness, you just need to explore further or own this gadget in order to get what i mean here. Try it and you will know...

Knock to wake has a limitation. Keeps waking whilst in your pocket. Mine woke started making calls, and turning on music by itself while in my pocket. This feature also can be considered a failed feature.

i dont encountered such problem...perhaps u may want to upgrade to latest firmware 11.1.1 to see whether it solves your problem...do let us update yea.

Yup, mine also have latest 11.1.1 & not occurred such issue. When the screen wake up, it still in lock mode (have to swipe to unlock screen)


Btw, I'm try running Farm Heroes Saga but it seem load forever. My device still not root or use any custom rom. Any thought?

Wow! Asphalt 8 runs great on Nokia X. I will surely try it out if I have a Nokia X. Regarding the internal memory, I believe only about 2.3 GB is accessible. For someone like me who watch videos and listen to music, a microSD card is a must. Lol.
