Nokia 7380 review
By Staska on 28 Feb 06The sibling of 7280, Nokia 7380 completes it’s L’amour collection. This cell phone was designed to get you noticed. With “lipstick” shape, golden colors and mirror surface it clearly stands out from the crowd. The most distinct feature of this mobile is the lack of keyboard. Instead you get iPodesque scroll wheel to dial the numbers. It can seem a little strange, but becomes acceptable once you get used to it. But the same thing can not be said about messaging. Scroll wheel is not a very good design for text entry, therefore you will be calling much more then texting with this phone.
From the spec side the phone is OK. With the dimensions of 118mm x 30mm x 20mm (4.6″ x 1.2″ x .8″) and weight 80gr it is very easy to carry around. This triband GSM 900/1800/1900 handset comes with 2 megapixel camera, 65,536-color, 104 x 208-pixel mirror display, FM radio and MP3 player. Like all L’maour collection phones Nokia 7380 does not have memory card options, but with 52MB of built-in memory is an improvement over other L’amour colleagues. Full specs of the phone are:
