Strengths: Very stylish design and sophisticated exterior finish

Weaknesses: Camera is OK, no Bluetooth and keypad takes time to get used to

Once in a while you come across a phone which has a designer look and features to boot as well. The Nokia 7260 is one such phone which has a really neat design as well and stylish look and feel as well. The 7260 has the distinction of design (which is really smart looking and it does not sacrifice any of the usability components in the bargain). The Nokia 7260 shiny look and feel attracts users to it like bees to honey and it really makes other phones look very drab.

Behind the nice exterior, you also have a very smart phone which works seamlessly. The call quality is really spectacular and one cannot help but admire the speed at which the internet can be accessed via the 7260. The entertainment component is also intact with a good MP3 player and FM radio as well as a camera which might not be the best, but offers video support. The fact that this is a tri-band phone might keep some international travellers away from it.

There is no Bluetooth with the 7260 and that is a tad disappointing as it feels like Nokia just forgot to include this feature. The camera is good, but has the potential of being a lot better with better controls. The design aspect is definitely classy but since the keypad is a bit different, it might take you some time to get used to it. However, that is a small price to pay for such a smart phone which definitely makes head turn (at least till the time new phones come in).
