Nokia 7500 Prism User Reviews

Jacob of all trades, master of none.

Folks, I am writing a review after a long time. But I had to post this for everyones benefit.


After a long debate over which phone to buy, I chose Nokia Prism 7500 over an E61i, mainly because of the price and the availability of better features, but occassionally I feel I have made a wrong choice. So, here goes my mind on this piece:


Package:




  1. Phone unit




  2. Charger (the thin pin model)




  3. Stereo ear-phones




  4. Leather hand-strap




  5. Satin/Velvet finish pouch




  6. New model Battery (BL-4B)




  7. 512 MB MicroSD Card




  8. Three coloured rings (for the phone)




  9. Manual






*Review of phone:


*The phone is uniquely crafted and is very controvertial in terms of attractiveness. While I just loved it, my wife wrinkles her face whenever I praise it. Not only at home, but I had a _lot_ of mixed (50:50) opinions about its attractiveness at office too. So, I suggest you first look at it before ordering one.


The screen is a _very_ big asset to the phone. It is a 2" LCD with 16M colours (while most of the other phones have a 256K color capability). What does this mean? It means great clarity for both pictures and videos.


The camera is another torch-bearer. At 2 Mega Pixel, it clicks really cool pics. But the downside is, it needs lots of light (preferably sunlight). I am uploading a few pics taken by this mobile to help you understand it better. It comes with an LED flash, which is a bare addition to it, but serves not much useful purpose. It has multiple modes and I loved the grayscale and sepia modes the best.


The memory is two fold. The phone has an in-built memory of about 40 MegaBytes, which is quite sufficient if you use it only as a basic phone (ofcourse having individual contact pics, tiny ring tones etc.). It also comes with a 512 MB Micro SD card that promises loads of storage for you.


Unfortunately, the card that I have suddenly stopped working in just about 25 days of purchase. I still have about 2 months more for replacement (while the phone carries a warranty of 1 yr, the memory card has a warranty of only 90 days). And the sadder part is that I cannot launch an online complaint regarding the same. I have to visit their service centre at Panjagutta (thats the only place where warrenties are honoured) to get a replacement and God knows when I'll get time for it.


The keypad is trendy, but not extremely comfortable. The navigation joystick could have been a beauty had it been a little more smooth and grippy. When your fingers are a little sweaty, the joystick tends to slip a lot. But overall, it is good.


Coming to the capabilities, the phone plays a good range of formats (mp3, aac, wmv etc). But I found some cheaper Nokia phones playing the same songs better and louder (maybe a bigger resistor is protecting the speaker). It has a fast-forward feature that is quite useful at times. FM reception is good and voice recording is decent.


Coming to the worst part, the talk time. On quite a few occasions, I have measured the talk time (by resetting the duration counters). I got anything between 60 to 90 minutes of pure talk time (with bluetooth, music, fm, video off). Some of these featuers like Bluetooth are big battery drainers so use them cautiously (esp. the BT profiles like A2DP etc).


This phone is based on Nokia OS and hence might not support things like Outlook, office etc.


Also, I would have been more happy if Nokia cared to supply a USB cable along with the kit. Ofcourse, the talk time is too bad (atleast for my usage levels). So, if you are an occasional talker and dont mind charging it everyday, then dont hesitate, with the other features being pretty decent, this phone is a steal for its price.


Have fun.


Harsha.

Nokia 7500 Prism
Sep 25, 2007 05:50 PM 7129 Views

I bought this stylish Nokia 7500 Prism last week for Rs 9800/- with one year warranty. Its something unique from Nokia. I liked the looks so much that I got tempted to buy one for myself. Its slim & surprisingly very light weight. It "can be" the phone with least weight.I guess. Its design is inspired by diamond crystals. From keys to the battery cover everything is diamond edge shaped. Even the leather strap, flash light and camera lens are similarly shaped. It looks very futuristic. Available only in black colour. Its very compact but has a decently large screen.


The buttons are nice to touch with a soft feel. But the joy stict is a bit hard to operate(compared to Sony Erricson sets). This cell phone is for fashion conscious people as it comes with three color strips which can be changed according to your taste within seconds. The LCD screen of 7500 is extremely sharp & clear with 16 million colour display. It comes with a 2 Mega pixel camera with LED flash.


I captured some amazing snaps using this camera. But at night the picture quality is not very good(not bad also). The video quality is just acceptable for a phone in this price range.Sound quality of 7500 is clear with nice effects of trebble & we can customise the songs to our taste using the equaliser(four preset equalisers modes also available). We can play the songs in the music player mode which can be customised like the winamp. Stereo widening function does help to enhance the sound of this set. The ear plugs for listening to music fit nicely into the contours of the ear but I personally like the rubbery ear plugs of Nokia 3200.


But sadly they cannoy fit into this set. There are different sockets for hands free, chargeing point and the data cable. Its irritating that Nokia didn't supply data cable with it. The voice recorder function is a very neat touch as you can record any song, your voice, plus the calls on your phone. If you are radio fan than you will be over joyed by its radio reception quality. It can store upto 20 stations. The preloaded themes in this set also remind us of the shape this set i.e prismatic. Message typing is easy as the keys are easy to use as they are loacated at the right places.


No limited sms storing capacity as it depends on the memory of your set. Shortcut to Yahoo! mail is preinstalled in the set. Data can be transferred using Bluetooth or data cable. No infrared port provided.The voice clarity of this set is super clear and you can talk in a crowded area. The internal memory of this set is 36 MB & its supplied with a 512 MB micro SD card. This much storage is enough for me! Other features include Push-to-talk(PTT), organiser and some interesting preloaded applications(like size converter, sensor etc).


Preloaded games includes City Blox, Music Guess, Snake-3 & the best is Sudoku. Moreover Nokia 7500 Prism comes with a soft pouch which resembles the pouches meant for storing jwellery. Whay I didn't like in 7500:


1) Its not as sturdy as other Nokia cellphones which are known for solidity.Its delicate.Handle it carefully.


2) The battery life is not satisfactory.I have to charge it every day.


3) The battery charger is different from other Nokia chargers with a thin pin for insersion.So better take your own charger when going out of station.


4) The joy stick works well but could be as smooth as a Sony Erricson set.


5) No data cable supplied in the kit.


6) I would love if Nokia provided those rubbery ear knobs of Nokia 3250 as they are extremely comfortable to wear.


What I really liked in 7500:


1) Futuristic shape.


2) Compact size.


3) Feather light weight.


4) Clear sound & voice quality.


5) Nice 2 MP camera with LED flash.


6) FM clarity & reception are superb.


7) 36 MB internal plus 512 MB card.


8) Buttons are soft & easy to use.


9) Screen clarity is one of the best.


10) Screen savers can be set as motion wallpapers.


11) Sudoku game.


12) Its Nokia & value for money.
