Less than a year after the Nokia 7280 blazed a trail for fashionable, leather-clad tech in the US, Nokia's followup, the 7380, is getting some interesting reviews. How do you review a phone thats main purpose is looking pretty, not making phone calls? Well you focus on the fact that it has a 2 megapixel camera, a glowing orange button, Bluetooth, a scrollwheel, and no keypad. PC Mag seemed to dig the 7380's aesthetics and didn't mind the phone's obvious shortcomings (text messaging and dialing), noting that Bluetooth connections worked seamlessly and call quality was good. Phone Scoop was a little more adamant in their critique, though, calling out Nokia for creating a screen that sacrificed usability in sunlight for looks. Though, if you want to tell your friends that looking good with your cell phone is more important than actually using it to call them, the 7380 may be the perfect choice.
