Nokia Continues Fashion Trend With L'Amour Phones
Oct 19, 2005, 2:45 AM by (staff)
Nokia today announced three new fashion phones with a softer look and more feminine details than the original 72XX fashion line. The 73XX L'Amour phones take a step forward on the design timeline from Art Deco to Art Nouveau, and step forward in technology as well. All three models are GSM / GPRS (EDGE) 900/1800/1900 and are due out Q1 2006.
- 7360: A slim, simple candybar style phone with VGA camera. Also features FM radio, Push To Talk and a new voice-activated interface option. The 7260 lacks the decorative flourishes of the other two models and will be available with faceplates that will appeal to both men and women.
- 7370: Nokia's first spinner style phone has floral etched trim and fabric faceplates. Features a 2" QVGA display and special swivel interface. Also features 1.3 megapixel camera with video capture and video ringtones, Bluetooth, FM radio and stereo speakers.
- 7380: The followup to the 7280 lipstick phone eliminates the slider design but maintains the mirror screen, which is now etched with a floral pattern. This handset still features the jog dial interface, but adds voice navigation like the 7360. The camera has also been upgraded to 2 Megapixels with a flash and video capture. Also features an mp3 player and streaming video viewer

So what phones do you guys use?
Wrong forum.

this phone looks like something out of the 70's
In my old house the previous owner left a horrible looking 70's couch that looks just like this phone, brown and ugly.
I think the lipstick model is completely useless, the retarted scroll keypad would take forever and a week to dial. with such a tiny screen isnt the 2mp. camera a little useless??

HEY! They could send the ones they don't sell to That 70's Show! Jackie could carry one, and have them destroy one per episode as a running gag....

i think they are lovely and its about damb time nokia did something different. The 7370 looks great. but lets not leave the men out. why not redesign the 7370 for guys and add a few designs for them. anyway i think they are fabulous.
cheers nokia

These are truly some ugly phones. Did anyone in Finland hear a loud thud when the first 72xx line was introduced? I can tell you, it was loud enough that I heard it all the way over here in the US. These phones are just as ugly (and just as useless) as the last batch. Sorry Nokia, you got your dibs on the E-line, but this line is going to earn you a good hardy spanking.

Apparently the phones must be selling well enough for Nokia to continue the trend.
Remember Nokia is a European company different culture different ideals.

Those phones got shot out of the ugly cannon...
And no GSM850. Set phasers on "ignore".

its a novel idea, but perhaps a better design? its better than the phone that looks like a birth control dispenser. now, that was a bad idea.
I worked in the Navy in communications...lol
Best subject line ever, bro. 😁
I think the phones will sell well. Only needs bluetooth and they will be great. I think its about time Nokia had some more phones geared to women. Come on guys have always gotten the coolest toys. Now Nokia see's a open market of eager consumers and i...

Oh, now that's wit. Bravo!
Women would eat these up...
These would be popular with the ladies if they push them hard enough.
If they came in a color other than crap brown, I might agree.

What tipped you off there, Sherlock? The floral patterns? LOL.
Ick, not me. I think they are u-g-l-y.
Holy crap!
Wow! At $1.20/Euro, they're absolutely not worth it. (That's $240 for the bar, $360 for the swiveler, $480 for the lipstick).
The color choices are horrible. "Coffee brown" and "Warm amber" are the choices. Sounds more like "hot turd" and "warm turd" to me, respectively. 🙄 🙄

No kidding... the girls I know that would even be remotely interested would want pink or purple. Hello Nokia? Ever think about something other than brown?
