The Nokia X2-01 feels right at home when it comes to messaging. The phone is capable of handling all the common message types including SMS, MMS and email, as well as flash and audio messages.

The latest contender is the Android-based Nokia X2, which will go head-to-head with the excellent Moto E from Motorola Mobility.

Nokia had the X2 available for us to take a look at. The X2 runs Series 40 and has a full QWERTY keyboard for messaging. How does it stack up?

The X2 is due to be released in July, priced at around €99 (about $135). Initially it will be available in orange, black, and green, with yellow, white, and dark grey coming later.
