The battery lasts for about 4-5 days, with bluetooth turned on all the time, which drains power like crazy. Charging time is quite long about 3 hrs. But it's a good compromise since a full charge can get you to 5 days. USB on the go support is a definite plus but if you transfer music or set the charging profile to use more power like lights turned on all the time and so on than i wish you good luck in charging the phone in 36 hrs. It's great that i can use other adapters to charge it like all the phones that share micro-usb port to charge as my Motorola E8 does. Charging off the computer usb is the fastest way to charge the phone if you're not interacting with it in any way other than charge. Phone menu is fast enough, messages take a long time to load up especially if you go back to the old inbox style and don't wish to use conversations like i did.
The mirror layer under the keypad buttons is great because it gives you good legibility before the lights are active. The back cover while looking great (aluminum) is a bit wobbly but just a tiny bit :). Even if the phone is made almost entirely of plastic the material quality is pretty good but the design looks cheap, especially because of the glossy sides and back plastic which has nothing to do with the front side of the phone which is just shiny black. Also the side buttons plastic wise could have been better, the color says: dirty cheap. However i have to say that it's a good thing that the connection of the detachable slot covers are made of good rubber so you won't have to deal with braking plastic and lose the cover like in earlier models.
The display view angle is a bit tricky you have to look from the right to see a clear picture, otherwise viewing angle is a bit messed up. Probably designed like your low - end lcd, you have to look down on it or you see a dark picture. If there's one thing i hate about Nokia phones that would be it. the 256 k display is way below what motorola offers or sony - erricson for the same specs. the equivalent in clarity and viewing angle is nokia 16 million - sony - erricson/ motorola/ samsung - 256 k.
I'm satisfied by the 5 mp camera, but night time or low light ambient photos aren't that good. Personally i think a good 3.15 mp camera on a phone with good functions such as a good led or dual led flash and autofocus is enough for a phone if it's well built. There's no comparison between what sonyerricson and motorola does for that amount of MP.
Radio FM build in antenna isn't as good as using the head phones on other models but it does the job.
It would also be nice if nokia used matching color leds to light up the keypad. For instance mine is red on black, and it would be cool to have a red illuminated keypad or a blue or white one for a blue on white phone.
Call history is quite ok and comprehensive, the great think about this phone is that all the elements of the menu are smooth and big so you have no problem with reading them, and are pleasant to the eye. One thing i don't like is that some elements of the OS are on a gray background which doesn't integrate too well with the general aspect of the OS interface.
3,5 mm jack is a great feature on any phone, just plug in whatever headphones you like and you're good to go, the offered in ear headphones is a wired hands free but audio is great for listening to music and good build quality too. the only drawback i can see is that while you are plugged in with these particular headphones is that you can'd adjust the volume while plugged in. But with other headphones it works great.
The best thing about nokia phones is PC support. I love OVI suite and it's cool to write sms messages from the keyboard instead of the phone's keypad which in this model isn't too great for writing text. If you're near your computer all the time and you just leave your BT turned on on your PC and phone, as soon as you are near the PC the phone connects automatically and you can do all kinds of stuff, unlike other models from other brands where you have to buy the PC software and not only that but you have limited functions on BT.
I was impressed by the processing capabilities in terms of video playback because after converting a 700 mb movie to the 460 mb gp version i could watch it with great quality and sound on this model.
Overall it's a good phone, I've just had it for 2 months now and i can't say any more, i just hope it will last more than my previous nokia 5310 which only lasted for about 10 months until all kinds of problems started to appear like display cover glue leaking or contact foil going bad and so on. These days with renewing subscription plans and technolology moving forward it's pointelss for a mid range phone to be built out of expensive materials or last 5 years or more, but if i get 2-3 years out of this phone it should be ok.
I got this phone mostly for music and menu speed, not interested in much else.
So it's like this: RPO'S:
- good menu & good menu speed
- good processor
- good software support
- good sound
- decent built quality
- decent camera overall.
- 3.5 mm jack
- good bluetooth and usb connectivity
- lightweight
- torch function from led flash
- good stereo music sound
- good call quality sound fidelity
- camera lens plastic is protected by design
CONS:
- poor display but it's a nokia standard for 256 k
- call sound is not loud when you need it.
- large buttons that get pressed easily by accident especially the camera button.
- you can easily scratch surfaces with the embossed nokia logo on the back, like laptops and other shiny or plastic materials.
- no scratch resistant display surface.
- no wireless ( with this phone a g wireless interface would be awesome if you have a wireless router in the house).
- no included usb cable, but easy to find in an electronics store.
THAT'S ALL I CAN THINK OF AT THE MOMENT... I'LL WRITE MORE AS I GO ALONG.

Puneet, 11 Nov 2010i have this phone, facebook application and other application which require internet to proces... moreAll apps are working very well, just check your configuration setting, your service provider should send you the settings, save it, activate it as the default configuration setting for all apps. It'll definitely work, myself installed e-mail clients like yahoo, gmail, google maps(2.3), other pre-installed apps like ovi.mobi, nokia life tools, flickr, facebook all are working!!

this is a true comment of a true nokia x2 user
signal quality-excellent
very light too Cary
display is fantastic n screen resolution is also good
size of the screen is also good in a bar phone
sound quality is superb because of dual stereo speakers
3.5 mm jack & dedicated music keys r very useful
internal memory is good & it gives free 2 GB memory card
internet browsing is good but not the best
Bluetooth connectivity is very good
camera is very good & it gives a good clarity n quality
(try too take pics by without flash it will give excellent result)
video recording is disappointing
radio works good without the lead
a very good collection of games
& the battery is amazing (27h music play)
a very good thing in the box is the headphone speakers
overall verdict -a really nice piece created by Nokia with such low budget
