Review: Nokia 7380
"Phones have become as much fashion statements as communication tools, so it’s no surprise to see Nokia tapping into this with its new L’Amour collection. Designed for the terminally fashionable, this is the most innovative of the bunch. There’s no keypad; instead you use an iPod-like clickwheel and selection button to control everything.
It’s laudable that this device wants to redefine the way people use phones. Unfortunately, it fails on just about every level. For a start, entering a number is incredibly difficult. You need to select each digit from a list on the screen by rotating and clicking the wheel. Selecting a contact is more straightforward, so if you have all your contacts stored on your computer, you should Bluetooth them over – the alternative is frustration, madness and quite possibly, RSI.
