Nokia X3 review

The Nokia X3 is S40 based and it is one of the first telephones with dual management: the keyboard and the touch screen. It is a fairly cheap phone with fantastic music player features.
In this picture you can see the Nokia X3-02, candy bar and there is the slide version of the model also.
So it may be a good idea to buy it if you are planning to pass to a touch screen while having a physical keyboard to write messages.
I was talking to someone and I activated the loud speakers with my chin (it seems that I smile a lot while I talk) so I would say that the touch screen is quite sensitive.
There is a key dedicated to music and volumes keys too.
The earphone sounds has a very good quality while in conversation and the antenna reception is excelent as with all Nokia phones. 

The look is really slick and elegant a very fine mobile phone, the dimensions are 10,6 x 4,8 x 1 cm and it is very light 94 grams only.
So it is a good companion to keep in your pocket to get around everywhere.
Some say that the Nokia X3 it is not really a smartphone, as it is just a Symbian S40 OS. In fact ther is no complexity in it as you can see in the menu options.

The wifi connection is really performant and I could surf the web quite fast. And there is Twitter, Facebook and Youtube as preinstalled applications, so these feature are really atractive.

The negative:
Well, in this Nokia X3 review I will talk about some inconviences I've found:
  • There is no key dedicated to the camera and to take a picture you have to tap on the camera icon in the screen which in a sunny day is kind of hard to see.
  • There is no flash led incorporated.
  • No autofocus, so you better stand still while taking a picture
  • The keypad *,0,# are located to the right instead of at the bottom so you will need two days to adapt to it
  • The video quality is very poor
 I will recomend this phone to you if you want to start with a touch screen and you don't care about photo and video quality which is very far away from the N85 or the 6720 models.
The price is very atractive only 140 euros

    Repair Dolce Gusto Circolo Leaking Problem

    Image
    My Dolce Gusto coffee machine started leaking without even plugin in to the socket. Water was leaking at the base, the tank would get completely empty in a few seconds, so I dismounted the back cover to see. Use a Torx tool.  Fisrt start removing the two screws down besides the reservoir connector. Down there you see the join inside the water connector. That small rubber joint was apparently in a good shape but the problem really came from it. I took the small water filter and descaled it by diping it in white vinegar for a few minutes. Then I took a rubber tap joint from my tool box and put it on top of the rubber joint as you see it in the circle. Then I mounted all back again and it works! The joint was just too used, and you can replace it with a tap rubber joint, just find the right size. Descale the coffe machine This is always a good thing to do every two or three months to keep the inside clean. I descaled completely by filling the water tank with a mix...

    How to Change the Gear Shift Knob of the Peugeot 306

    Image
    Well, last week the gear shift knob of my car got teared down in my hand as I was driving as you can see it in the picture. It was so really broken that the official knob from Peugeot would not fit anymore. The good thing about it is that now I can replace it by a nice one. But it was a real pain to figure out how to dismount it, the main thing is to lift up the leather bag around it first, from the bottom and then turn the knob twice to the left and then pull from it till it comes off . As you can see the white base support was broken too, so I had to dismount the whole thing and look for an universal knob to replace it. Well here is the gear shift itself all alone, I had to stick around it a piece of plastic and then tighten it up with a wire (I did this with my pliers to hold it tight), so that the leather bag will not move down later. Here is the new knob, it has a nice fairy on it, well, I know you are smiling :) but it was the only one in the store one that fitted...
