C-Net had reviewed Nokia 7380Â cell phone from L’Amour collection. Itâ€™s got a “very good” 7.6 editor’s rating and users rated this mobile phone at 7.5 also.

Pros:

…Nokia 7380 is a stylish and fashionable phone, perfect as a second cell phone for a night on the town. It features an impressive 2-megapixel camera, along with a video recorder, a voice recorder, a music player, and a radio.

Cons:

…It has no keypadâ€¦ only…circular spinner to dial numbers and send text messages…small screen and meager 52MB of memory does not make full use of its impressive multimedia features

Their conclusion is similar to our’s – it’s all about looks:

Nokia 7380 would not make for a very useful primary phone, but it’s satisfactory as a fashion accessory or as a secondary mobile. Even though we appreciate the impressive multimedia upgrades over its predecessor, it’s a shame that the phone’s screen and memory size does not make full use of them.

Nokia 7380 review

The 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:
