Nokia 7270 Review

Nokia 9500

The Nokia 7270 is a phone that combines a great image with advanced imaging capability. A sleek clamshell—or flip-phone—design which is rare amongst Nokia phones, is accentuated by thoughtful use of high quality materials that together produce a phone that is lovely to look at, right out of the box. What make this mobile phone’s sense of style truly unique are its numerous available accessories—so you can personalize this already standout phone.

The integrated textile wrap can be swapped out for one more suitable to your style, and Nokia has made several accessories—including credit card slips, jewelry, and straps—available and bundled under consistent themes.

But if you value function over form, the Nokia 7270 is unlikely to let you down. The mini-display on the mobile phone cover and the main display inside both function as viewfinders for the static or video digital imaging device. The camera offers 4x digital zoom, and with 32 MB total phone memory, there’s a lot of room for pictures and videos.

This high fashion phone also offers high connectivity capability, allowing users to connect to their PC via infrared, Pop-Port™, or the Nokia connectivity cable. These features, along with the integrated browser and e-mail support, make it easier than ever to upload or download images.

The status-alert function allows you to keep friends and family in the loop by displaying your programmable information—for example, you can let people know you can’t talk for a couple hours because you have class or work. Features such as reminders, enhanced calendar functions, and the integrated voice recorder make it simple to keep track of important dates and information.

The FM radio will be a balm to those wounded by the Nokia 7270’s lack of an MP3 player, but apart from easy-to-use XHTML browser functions, there is nothing like a GPS to be found on this phone. All the same, mobile phone users looking for a unique, high fashion design, combined with excellent imaging and web features are likely to enjoy the Nokia 7270.
