It was perhaps inevitable that on the heels of announcing a trifecta of strictly-business handsets, Nokia would release something a little more appealing to the club-and-dancefloor set. To that end, we have the Nokia 7380. Not unlike the 7280, this new mobile sports a long, slender lipstick-tube design that ought to fit nicely in a hip pocket or purse. But its toned-down color scheme is sure to draw wider appeal than its predecessor.
Nokia has revised the controls on this handset to some degree, and it looks like this little phone may end up being a little easier to use than the 7280 was – although it still relies on a funky scroll-wheel for dialing. And, like its predecessor, it includes an all-important mirror for mobile primping. This handset includes an FM tuner, an MP3 player, and voice dialing that's sure to come in handy. Look for it at Neiman Marcus beginning November 1. At $649, it's not even that ridiculously expensive.
