The FCC has just approved the Nokia X3, an affordable music phone announced in early September (at the same time with the Nokia X6).

In case you don’t know yet, Nokia X3 is a slider that has no 3G, but features a 3.5mm headset jack, dedicated touch music keys on the side, Bluetooth 2.1, stereo speakers and stereo FM radio.

The S40 phone also features a 2.2 inch QVGA display, access to Ovi Store, 3.2MP camera with flash, and MicroSD card support (a 2GB card should be included in the box).

At the moment, there’s no word yet whether there will be US carriers to offer the X3 or not.

 Europe, the Nokia X3 will cost €115 ($169) unlocked, so US customers will probably be able to buy it at a similar price – assuming the phone will reach North America.
