Nokia has finally come out with a clamshell -design phone.The unique thing about this phone is the cloth-textured Xpress-on covers ,which add an element of dash to the phone . Reception is good,and there should be no problems with voice clarity.
The battery lasts for three to four days with normal use. Priced at Rs 25,500 the 7200 is on the higher side compared to rival models. The two rectangular halves of the phone are joined by an outward-protruding hinge,giving the phone a chunky look. I loved the idea of having metching textile coversfor phones. The keypad is nice and gig,and the white backlight does a great job in highlighting the keypad.It looks great ,especially in the dark .
The feel of the plastic keys,however ,leaves a lot to be desired. The screen supports 65K colours,but in contrast to several samsung and LG phones ,the screen is dull and has poor colour vibrancy. Also, the screen is extremely small despite the fact that there is more than enough space for a large. The intergrated VGA camera can click at 640x480.The pictures we got were sharp and bright. Connectivity options include infrared, GPRS and WAP 2.0.An FM receiver with a stereo headset is bundled along for added fun I think.The user interface is classic Nokia. The menu is responsive ans fast compared to other nokia phones.
It's only when opening a media file you will experiance some lag.The camera can also be used to record clips upto 50 seconds long. The voice recorder allows for a three-minute long recording, and recordings can be set as ringtones. Ringtone volume is quite low,and you,re sure to miss a couple of call in noisy enviroments. However, the vibrator is powerful enough to make up for the low ring volume. Games such as Bowling should keep you busy while you're travelling
