Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type

Nokia has announced the availability of its latest Nokia X3-02 touch and type handset. It has a unique combination of a resistive touchscreen and traditional 12-button phone keypad. Nokia’s affordable “Touch and Type” phones allow users to tap quickly on the touchscreen, as well as enjoy the familiarity of the full keypad for quickfire text messages and phone calls.

According to Engadget's review, the beauty of the Nokia X3-02 is that touch comes as essentially a free extra rather than the fundamental navigation paradigm. It's augmented with 3G, 802.11n WiFi, and Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, and the whole thing is wrapped within a 9.6mm-thin brushed aluminum shell.
