Nokia 7380

Editors' rating: 7.6

The good: The Nokia 7380, which could easily be mistaken as a lipstick case, is a stylish and fashionable phone, perfect as a second cell phone for a night on the town. It features an impressive 2-megapixel camera, along with a video recorder, voice recorder, music player and radio.

The bad: The Nokia 7380 is not for everyone. It has no keypad, so you have to use the phone's circular spinner to dial numbers and send text messages, which may be too much for some users. Those with larger fingers may also be uncomfortable with the narrow circle controls. The phone's small screen and meager 52MB of memory does not make full use of its impressive multimedia features.

The bottom line: The Nokia 7380 would not make for a very useful primary phone, but it's satisfactory as a fashion accessory or as a secondary mobile. Even though we appreciate the impressive multimedia upgrades over its predecessor, it's a shame that the phone's screen and memory size do not make full use of them.
