Nokia 7280
Okay, this is one WAY COOL phone. I got it for K.T. this week, and it is a slick device. It's loaded with all the cool stuff you'd expect in a phone - like a VGA camera, bluetooth, a boatload of memory (50+mb), and a XHTML browser. It is nice and small (3 ounces, 4.53 inches long x 1.26 inches wide x 0.75 inch thick). It has decent talk time (4 hours) .Now, let's get to the cool & whacky - no keypad! You just move your finger over the spinner, and off you go. It is pretty slow going to dial numbers, but once everything is in (and you can easily sych all your Outlook contacts into the phone over bluetooth), it isn't bad at all. It definitely isn't a phone for sending text messages - one might get homicidal about 2 messages into an exchange.
One other added bonus of the thing - the display has a mirror finish, so when the backlight goes out, you can use the display as a mirror.
K.T. totally digs it. Good job, Nokia, turning a phone into such a stylin' fashion accessory. I haven't been able to convince her to upgrade to a new phone in 2 years.
Note on 7/17/05 6:30am: on date night last night, I got to see the full impact of this phone on someone who hasn't seen it before. You would not believe how people oooo and ahhhhh and grab their friends to show them. Freaky.
