darknezz, the difference is, the cars are DIFFERENT. you got hatchbacks, saloons, SUV's, people carriers, vans, sports cars etc. And, dont forget that they are still made by toyota, ford, whoever, GMC dont actually make them, they just take the money. ONE Nokia phone has very little do distinguish it from another nokia phone, under the cover, a lot of them are basically the same.

Colour me a deep shade of impressed.

Lately all the Nokias I have seen have been designed for (apparently) younger teenagers. Having reached 19 I decided last year that I wanted a new phone that had a bit of class and style, and chose the SE T610 (still IMHO one of the classiest looking phones out there). This summer I upgraded to a P900, which I love, but is a bit plasticky compared to the T610 (probably because it IS made of plastic )

However these new Nokias really impress me, because it looks like they've got in some designers that know what people want. In case you've had your head under a large rock for the last few months or more, you'll have noticed that "retro" is very much back in style, and Nokia have been very clever in picking up on that and releasing some phones that will appeal to a large audience, from fashion-conscious teens to, IMO, young professionals that don't necessarily need phones with half a computer packed inside.

Of course, once style changes again and retro is out (only a matter of time) those phones will suddenly look very very dated (in a bad way), but if the aren't priced too highly then it'll be easy for people to get rid and buy newer models.

Good marketing move from Nokia as I see it, and it would be nice to see SE release some phones styled a bit differently, because I believe they have the better build quality/software.

Quote:Ok, we’ll admit that we were super skeptical about the 7280, which ditches the keypad entirely and has more of a pen-shaped design, but after playing around with it for a few minutes we decided it wasn’t so bad. It has this scroll wheel-type controller called the NaviSpinner which you have to use to navigate the user interface, and the idea is that you keep your just transfer over you contacts from your old phone along with your SIM card and then use the NaviSpinner to quickly find and select the person you want to call (and it actually works). You can still dial manually by entering other numbers by rotating the NaviSpinner and selecting the number you want, though it is more hassle than it’d be with a regular keypad. The big surprise was how easy it was to write a text message. We figured it’d be a serious pain in the ass, but Nokia tossed in this special predictive text software that unlike T9 doesn’t try to guess what word you’re trying to write out. Instead when you select a letter it automatically puts the letters that are most likely to follow the one you just choose (like if you’ve selected the letter “T” to start a word the odds are good that the next letter is either “a”, “h”, “e”, etc) and using the scroll wheel to pound out messages this way didn’t take very long at all. Not saying we’d toss aside the Treo for this thing, but the 7280 definitely has its appeal. Should also mention that it has a built-in digital camera (VGA quality only), Bluetooth, and the resolution of the screen is 208x104. A version with EDGE should be out in the States early next year.

Hmmm, jurie's out on that pen phone!

It certainly looks great, but call me a traditionalist, but I'd still prefer a keyboard, no matter how smart this 'navispinner' is (great idea, though!)

I like the colour scheme. However, with Nokia releasing so many phones, I think their are reaching critical mass. You all know what that means.
