The phone was released as the cheapest touch screen phone in the market and definitely lives up to it. The features are pretty mediocre when compared to top class phones like the HTC Touch, but the Touch obviously has the price tag to match. The phone looks expensive when compared to phones like the Nokia 5310 which featured a glossy plastic central navigation button. This elegant design fools people into thinking that the phone is worth a lot more than the actual price. The phone is a good size and is very light. This makes it extremely pocket friendly and is easy to operate using just one hand. The curved edges also make the phone look even more compact than the phone actually is. The body of the phone is not glossy and does not attract fingerprints unlike some phones such as the LG Prada.

Overall the phone is a good buy, as it not only comes cheap, but also comes with a good range of multimedia features to match. These include an media player which can play both MP3 and MP4 allowing the user to store a good range of media in the phone. The WAP portal allows the user easy access to the internet providing the user access to email and web pages. This can be a real advantage for users who check their email regularly on the go. In addition to this, the X760 also allows users to store EBooks in the phone. This along with the media player guarantees that the user will be busy for hours with the X760. One big advantage of the phone is its extraordinary battery life which easily lasts a couple of days with moderate use. This is a big improvement over phones such as the Nokia 5610 which lasted for only a few days with moderate use.
