Nokia Touch-Type- a Gimmick!

[ariendj]

It was a world of candy bar phones and were enjoying the limelight years back...the trends have changed and touch phones are the latest way to go.

Certain companies like Nokia,Motorola and many chinese re-branded phones have a special way to intrigue buyers..

Welcome to the Touch and Type phones.

Some of the hardcore cheap bar phone users with hesitant steps jump to the touch world with this intermediate step of Touch and Type phones and fall for this gimmick.

From my personal use(c3-01) and many around me,i can conclude the biggest brand of touch and type phones..Nokia are just a piece of junk!!

if you search around you will find many forums and mobile websites pouring in and clogged with complaints about the screen.

A month,couple of months and thats all it needs..and the screen shows its true colours.

the screen lock doesn't work,pressing icons send you somewhere else,the floating effect when you press the screen for selection and the complaints are unending.

And for confirmation sake i visited the Nokia Care and took them three weeks and they came to conclusion that it was a 'Liquid damage' and not covered under warranty.

just doubting their professionalism i contacted the online nokia customer service and got a blunt answer of 'Liquid Damage' even without saying the whole issue.

the phone was never dropped or mishandled and this is what i get...best used as a paper weight or pay 2.2k just to repair it(on a 8k phone)!!

My suggestion- stick with the bar phones or jump to complete touch screens!!

Well gimmicky is what drives the market, its a trend most of the companies follow to get traction. Poor users and buyers end up with such devices. (1gb graphics card, Ghz processors, >" monitors, PMPO)

Just a look and I can tell whats the build and performance of such devices. Had worked with the same model and its just a PITA. The build is horrible and fragile added to the lackluster screen quality and synaptic.

Even Nokia 523x resistive is superior to the ones found in current generation resistive touch screen phones. Some Samsung phones with capacitive displays offers below par performance to that of resistive read Bada devices.

For your issue - Try and contact nokia internation CC. My ipod was not initially accepted for RMA/repair but after I consulted Apple Australia (Int) it was accepted for RMA. So give it a try.

Are you talking about the quality of the product or the product itself because your thread title seems misleading?

My dad has an X3-02 and as far as a touch and type, and it is eons ahead of all the chinese phones. The UI is pretty decent, sound, camera is okayish and build quality is typical Nokia excellent finish. Although my father was disappointed to hear that this was a touch AND type phone, he wanted something like a touch or type/navigate/etc.

^^im referring to the quality aspect related to the 'touch and type' screen.

i do admit the phone quality is pretty decent compared to lesser known brands but then for owners who are average to heavy users will find the screen giving up in just few months!!

i considered myself as a very rare nokia owner till i saw the online forums complaints and gave up hope of rectifying the issue!!

one of my friends owns a X3-02 and used to surf net and presently its pretty unusable as the screen doesn't work as it used to initially.
