On the Nokia 7370
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
My major considerations,when searching for a new phone,are as much in terms of style,practicality and performance,as they are in brandname and appeal.I wanted the Nokia 7370 almost entirely because of its unique swivel design,which sets it apart from any other phone,in addition to its pretty floral designs and faux leather motif which covers the back.But what was priority in my consideration of this phone was the fact that,being a good-performance tri-band and unlocked phone,it could extend its appeal to other countries,where it could be used without any hitches.
However,I am dissatisfied by its mediocre battery life,which I didn't expect coming from a phone carrying the Nokia brandname.Charging is done on almost a daily basis.And inspite of its music-carrying capacity--which,furthermore,is limited by the much despised lack of an expandable memory by use of a SD card--not much can be obtained with confidence from the L'Amour with such a weak battery.And this would include multiple conversations and text messaging,not to mention the e-mail accessibility and IM features.How limiting can that be?I tried enhancing battery life by inserting a 800mAh,without much result.
Some other major cons would include poor video and camera visual.It does,indeed,seem to me that unless backed by a microSD card,video clips are a meagre 6-second long!?Surprisingly,the pictures seem of good quality,which isn't really the impression one gets when viewing before the snapshot.What's more,Nokia blundered in placing the camera lens where the index finger of the user usually is positioned,which makes for difficult handling.However,they compensated for tough self-taken snapshots by providing the metal base which serves as a mirror,and which recent Nokia phones sport for easy self-photoshoots.
Nonetheless,the L'Amour is extremely convenient for someone,like myself,who wants only something which is practical,with stuff that we could use.Talk of a very easy user-friendly interface,good networking performance,FM radio on the go,as well as bluetooth connectivity (too bad,no infrared port,as on the MusicXpress phones,for instance).I'm assuming there would've been somewhat more "originality" to the enhanced features of this phone had I bought it originally,which may have prevented me from dealing with the poor battery life,for example.Without which,the 7370 is the ideal sleek designer phone which is capable of turning heads all the time and still be able to provide you with the features and accessibility that one would desire out of any phone.
Thus,I would render a 'Good" rating,for its style and performance,as well as what it could have had more,only that it had in a lesser measure.
