Nokia X2
Not a Windows smartphone but not exactly using Android as a selling point, Microkia’s X2 tries to get the best of both worlds. While playing up its access to Android apps – through Nokia’s own store – the emphasis is on using the X2 as a gateway to Windows services. The UI is somewhat familiar, as well.
Spec-wise there’s little to write home about. It has a ClearBlack 4.3″ WGVA, Snapdragon 200 processor featuring a dual core 1.2GHz CPU, 1Gb RAM, 5MP autofocus with flash and up to 13 hours battery life on 3G. The real novelty comes in its dual-SIM feature, which makes the X2 useful for road warriors or backpackers.
