Nokia 7280 review
Bearing more resemblance to a lipstick than a mobile phone, the Nokia 7280 was designed to be flaunted, to be a conversation piece during nights out, and of course, to function as your communication tool...As Nokia puts it, the 7280 is shrouded in glamour and mystery...The 7280 is by far one of the most outrageous designs from Nokia, featuring a slender pen...

Has extreme good looks and makes a stunning fashion statement...Slide open to easily answer calls...Good voice quality and volume...Has voice...No number pad...Battery life isn't stellar and battery isn't user replaceable...VGA camera...The 7280, a member of the "Nokia Fashion Collection" of art deco influenced phones, owes absolutely nothing to mobile...

An amazing-looking phone...Startlingly complete feature set considering its size, including Bluetooth, speakerphone, Class 10 EDGE, and an FM radio....Difficult to dial (especially if you're not at your sharpest)...Needs speaker-independent voice dialing....Undeniably gorgeous and deeply strange, the Nokia 7280 phone is by far the coolest phone we've seen yet...The 7280...

Nokia 7280 review - Pocket-lint
Design, Wow factor, surprisingly ease of use....Not for the heavy number or text puncher...The 7280, for most people, takes this approach a tad too far...From the outset the 7280s design couldnt be further looking from the phone that it is...Vain types will be happy to know its big enough to get a good enough view to don make-up or check your hair...was the usual question,...

Nokia 7280 - reviews - Mobile Phones - GSM Mobile Phones - Good Gear Guide
The 7280 wins points for its unique and attractive design, but everyday users will become quickly frustrated by its tedious messaging and number input process...Clearly designed with women in mind, we must point out that the 7280 is not a mobile phone which is suitable for everyday use...The 7280 is designed as a handset to quickly throw in a handbag on a night out in case of an...

Review: Nokia 7280
Small and light, novel design...Poor battery life, text input virtually unusable...The Nokia 7280 bears no resemblence to an ordinary mobile phone, providing an Apple iPod-style scroll wheel for navigation and text input as opposed to a keypad...With its poor battery life and next to unusable text input, however, the Nokia 7280 does not come recommended as a daily-use mobile...

Nokia 7280 Review
Long showcased as a concept phone by Nokia, the 7280 finally made it to North-America around spring 2005, sold in Canada at Holt Renfrew and online or in some small retail stores in the U.S...Beautiful, the 7280 focuses on style to the expense of functionality...For example, why not include a "dictate-a-number" feature, seen in other phones, that lets you speak every...

Nokia 7280 mobile phone review | T3.com
PROS: Stylish (if you're a girl)...Dinky...Solid build...Great screen (especially if you're a girl)....CONS: Crappest interface ever - where are the keys...No volume buttons either....If ever there was a phone that should be wearing lipstick and high heels, it's this pert stick of mincing femininity...With the 7280, we found it took about two or three times as long to write a text...

Nokia 7280 - Mobile Gazette - Mobile Phone News
The Nokia 7280 is a phone, honestly it is, although it doesn't look like any phone we've seen before...In fact, the 7280 has so many radical features it's hard to know where to start...There are no number keys on the 7280, everything is either voice activated or uses the minimal keypad and "rotator" supplied...The 7280 is a tri-band GSM phone...
