The fashionable Nokia 7360

[Cool As Ice]

The Nokia 7360 is a beautifully crafted phone and part of Nokia's
L'Amour Collection, made from a combination of leather-inspired
materials, etched metal, and transparent surfaces. This beautiful
phone also has on offer a plethora of high-end features like FM radio,
speakerphone, integrated camera, Infrared and Internet connectivity
and roaming facilities across five continents.Fashion is no longer
just about what we wear or our hairstyles. Fashion is now the complete
fusion of a life attitude.

The Nokia 7360 is a very stylish phone for the fashion-conscious user.
Although it's a candy-bar style, the gold and beige color scheme with
floral designs, an orange gem as a select button, a cloth tag, and a
brown silk pouch make the 7360 luxurious. The other components of this
phone, although serviceable, weren't quite as expensive. Voice quality
and call reception was ok, and the speakerphone was sufficiently loud.
Talk time is a 4 hours with up to 14 days standby. In terms of design,
a rougher, rock-like texture at the rear of the handset provides a
good grip. On the other hand, the volume controls on the left are
rather stiff, the numerical keys are slightly plasticky and the keys
generally lack depth, although they are still comfortable to use.

Nokia's 7360 is the lightweight and compact member of the new L'Amour
collection of handsets. It weighs about 92g (3.2oz) and measures only
18mm in thickness. The triband GSM device works on the 900, 1800, and
1900Mhz bands and supports EDGE high-speed data. Unlike the more
expensive members of the L'Amour collection, the 7360 does not have a
megapixel camera on board, instead offering a video capable VGA unit.
An FM stereo radio let's you enjoy some music on the go, while the
ability to use MP3 files as ringtones keeps you grooving.

Apart from the look, there's nothing special here. The 7360 does
enough to be acceptable for the money that you pay, but nothing more.
It has an ordinary VGA resolution camera (0.3 megapixels) with a
rather poor video camera. The display is below average for this type
of phone. Ringtones are of average quality, although the phone does
support MP3 ringtones. There's a stereo FM radio, which is definitely
a plus, and an integrated handsfree speaker.

The 7360 also comes with a 128x160 pixel display, VGA resolution
camera, video and voice recording, FM radio, web browser and email
client, push-to-talk, voice activated user interface and fashion
themes. Although the small 4MB of internal memory without any
expansion options limits the 7360 as a multimedia device, the phone
does support MP3 ringtones. Unfortunately, it doesn't have an MP3
player or Bluetooth. In terms of software, the Nokia 7360 comes
preinstalled with Nature Park, a Tetris-like puzzler, and Space
Mahjong. The usual applications such as calendar, to-do list and notes
are included, but an interesting addition is Yoga Coach which provides
postures, tips and even a schedule for managing workouts. Transferring
files or backups via Nokia PC Suite is limited to USB cable and
infrared only. The Nokia 7360 seems a perfect fit for someone who
wants a fashionable, affordable phone without all the multimedia
extras. The small memory of the 7360 is one of the biggest
disappointments. At just 4 Mbytes, there really isn't enough to hold
more than a couple of short video clips or a few dozen photos. A
single MP3 ringtone will probably fill all the available memory. This
tends to make the phone's functions more of a gimmick than anything
else.
