I like this guy already:
You can usually count on two qualities in Nokia cell phones: good audio quality and unique design touches. Sure, the company misses a couple beats here and there, but the reliability of Finnish handsets like the Nokia 7390 is well-known in the cell phone world.
Let’s see what the rest of the review says:
The leather-like square on the rear of phone is a nice touch too, but we continue to be divided on the little fabric tag that adorns all L’Amour models. Some think that it’s cool, while others think that it’s just unnecessary.
As we mentioned earlier, the camera lens sits on the top of the rear face of the phone next to the flash. Unfortunately, it’s not the most ideal place overall–it was the natural place to rest our finger–and it’s disappointing there’s no self-portrait mirror with a 3-megapixel camera. We also aren’t thrilled that Nokia put the mini-USB port and the charger jack at the top of the phone, because it makes for more awkward ergonomics when you charge the phone while talking. A volume rocker and a camera shutter sit on the right spine, while a power button and the Infrared port sit on the left spine. The MicroSD card slot is behind the battery cover. No, that’s not the best place, but you don’t have to remove the battery too.
The Nokia 7390 has a fantastic 3-megaixel camera that far outshines most other camera shooters on the market. It takes pictures in five resolutions–from 1,536×2,048 down to 120×160. Other options include three quality settings, three color effects, nine fun frames, an autofocus, a self-timer, a multishot mode, a white-balance setting, a digital zoom, and a selection of camera sounds. The flash provides an exceptional amount of light, but as noted, self-portraits are tricky. The second VGA camera inside the phone is available for video calls, but keep in mind those are only really effective when you’re using a 3G network.
They like it overall. I’m seriously starting to wonder: why aren’t there any S60 fashion phones … ?
