It’s a gaming Phone………….

Key features:

• Stylish looking handset thanks to its gloss and gunmetal finish. Pretty sturdy too.
• 2.4-inch display at QVGA resolution. The large display is great for videos and games.
• Comes with a separate gaming console which is designed to work such as standard console gaming peripheral. It hooks up to the handset via a 2.5 mm propriety socket.
• The handset supports .Nes ROM files (old 8 bit Nintendo Entertainment system game ROMs). They don’t look as good as N-Gage or PSP games but they sure give you that feeling of nostalgia.
• Dedicated music keys, embossed Nav D-Pad and the two action keys above the display can be used to play games without the Gaming controller peripheral.
• It includes a voice recorder, text file e-book reader a melody composer in a colourful OS.
• 2 MP camera that does a decent job with sharp colours.
• Yamaha-amplified 3D surround sound provides good audio playback.

Cons:

• The earphone slot is propriety which forces you to use it bad quality headphones.
• The Spice X1 runs on an interface similar to those found on Chinese mobiles. No application support. Java support is also shabby.
• The handset supports .NES ROM files with no issues. The thing is that it’s also supposed to play Gameboy and Gameboy Color ROMs with .GB, .GBC extensions and also the ambitious Super Nintendo .SMC ROMs. But none of this seems to work well. Some games load and crash, some don’t start at all and some behave weirdly.
• Estimated street price Rs 7,200
