Review: I tried out Nokia 7710 for three months as part of a Nokia pilot. This is not a phone I would myself acquire, but I have to admit it has some cool features. The speakers are the best I have seen (or rather heard) on a mobile phone. This enables using 7710 as a convenient music player when you are out with your friends e.g. on a picnic. The big screen combined with EDGE-connection (>100 kbps) made browsing with the Opera browser pleasurable. It is cool to have the option to quickly check out your e-mail or some web page wherever you are. Also the 1.3 Mega pixel camera was good. The ear plugs that came with the phone are made very robust. 7710 hasn't got a real keypad (a few buttons though), but a touch screen and a stick. The menus are browsed by clicking on icons and text input works through handwriting identification or through a virtual keyboard. I got quite fast used to using it, but it can be quite annoying in the beginning. In my opinion the biggest downside with 7710, and the reason I would never buy it, is its size. I won't a phone that I can carry in the pocket of my trousers and 7710 is too big for that. Another quite annoying feature is that the phone is quite slow. Hence it takes some annoying extra seconds to open menus and applications. A downside is also that some pieces of software such as Agile Messenger weren't available for the 7710 when I used it. However, 7710 comes with the most important software included (e.g. photo gallery, music player). I can recommend 7710 to any one who isn't put down by the size of the phone. I guess you can get used to all the other features. |
