Nokia Philippines officially launched the Nokia X yesterday, just a little over 2 weeks after it was first announced in MWC Barcelona last February 24.
It’s by far the fastest release from announcement we’ve ever seen.

Running on a Nokia X Platform 1.0 which is a derivative of Android 4.1.2, the Nokia X supports around 75% of all Android apps available in Google Play Store (although the handset runs on its own Nokia App Store).
Nokia X specs:
4.0-inch IPS LCD display @ 800×480 pixels, 233ppi
Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.0GHz dual-core
512MB RAM
4GB internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD
Single-SIM (micro-SIM) or Dual-SIM
3G/HSPA 7.2Mbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 3.0 + HS
3MP rear camera
115.5 x 63 x 10.4mm
128.7 grams
Li-Ion 1,500mAh
Nokia X software platform 1.0
The Nokia X has a suggested retail price of Php5,990.

Wish Nokia would just own up to their Biggest Mistake Ever (going with Windows) and go full-on Android–which is what they should have done from Day One–not some dipping-the-toe-in-the-waters half-baked semi-proprietary version.
When (if) that day comes, I will again consider buying a Nokia.
