Nokia 7900 Prism Mobile Phone Review
The
brand new Nokia 7900 Prism has Nokia's revolutionary new prism design with
triangular buttons designed for easier SMS and a very different look from the
traditionally conservative Nokia.
This phone
boasts some brand new technology including an Organic LED display, one of the
first of its kind that can give you up to 16 million colours. And it features a
"live" wallpaper, meaning that your phone will always look cool as it changes
depending on the time of day, power left in the battery and even your mood! The
Prism has a gallery of 49 different illumination colours that you can chop and
change depending on how you're feeling - if you can be bothered to scroll
through them all that is.
This
revolutionary phone also has an anodised aluminium back cover that is coin
stamped and laser etched in the Prism's signature diamond cut design. Giving
the phone that extra bit of protection from those accidental drops we're all
guilty of.
It's a big
step forward for Nokia who have almost always been the safe, conservative and
reliable alternative. Does this mean that they are moving into a market of
cutting-edge design and not just the latest and best technology that they have
almost always been pioneers of? Should the companies who have consistently gone
for look over usability be worried? Well this is a great new phone, the keypad
looks a bit odd but when you get use to the look of it you begin to realise
that it's quite easy to use.
The
2-megapixel camera with flash, whilst not the best you can get these days, does
look great on the phone, especially with the LED display. And is helped with
the 1GB of memory so you can store all the photos, videos and content you can
get.
One of the
great features of this phone, and a feature that is fast becoming a standard,
is that it can be linked with your computer so that you can put all your photos
from your phone to your computer and also put music in the MP3 player that
comes with it. The down-side is that you can't use any of the music as your
ring tone because it can only take polyphonic tones.
The
Nokia 7900 Prism is a good phone and an interesting new space for Nokia. They
have kept their traditional ways yet made this phone more cutting edge
creatively. Although it has most of the latest technology, not having true
tones as a standard these days is a real let down.
