Today Nokia launches the new Nokia X1-00, a music phone made specifically for the masses. Don’t expect any great or high end features here. The Nokia X1-00 spots a huge speaker at the back of the phone, which Nokia rates at 106phon (a phon is a measure of perceived loudness – 106 of them is enough to rattle your window frames, apparently). Nokia X1-00 comes with a 3.5mm audio jack, support for microSD memory cards up to 16GB, FM radio support, Series 30 operating system and a price of less than $35. Yes, you read that right. The Nokia X1-00 costs less than 35 bucks, almost half a dollar for each of its whopping 61 days max battery life in standby mode.
