GADGET X: Nokia X

Nokia recently launched their first android compliant phone named Nokia X (nicknamed Nokia Normandy before announcement). It comes in 6 colors (may not be all available in some countries) and looks like a crossover with the physical aspects of the asha series and the interface of the Lumia OS (Windows 8 Mobile).

Launched here in the Philippines for the SRP of P5990, the Nokia X hopes to draw the mobile market interest back to Nokia which has been dominated by Android and iOS phones. Nokia X is technically NOT an android phone. It actually has some sort of "emulator" that can play android apps to the phone, but the whole interface and build is based on windows mobile with a different structure.
