Nokia 7380 Reviews

Infosync reviews the Nokia 7380 and concludes, "The Nokia 7380 bears no resemblence to an ordinary mobile phone, providing an Apple iPod-style scroll wheel for navigation and text input as opposed to a keypad. On the upside, it's smaller than most phones and also sports a widescreen display, but its mediocre battery life and virtually unusable text input hamper use to the extent that it cannot be recommended as a daily-use handset. Using it to show off, however, is another matter altogether."

MobileBurn reviews the Nokia 7380 and says, about the phone's camera: "The 7380's camera is a bit of a mixed bag. How well it will perform for you depends much on what type of pictures you intend to take. If you want to use the 7380 for taking snapshots while travelling and visiting places outdoors, you will probably be satisfied with the results. Especially in good sunlight, the 7380 takes nice ladscape shots. But if your photos tend more towards the dark and crowded scene, such as in bars, then you will have to look elsewhere to get your photo fix. The 7380's night mode does help clean up the photos shot in darker scenes, but at the expense of much of the color saturation. But trying to shoot in low light without using the night mode will rarely, if ever, produce acceptable results. The flash is decently bright, though its use always leads to blue tinted photos."

CNET reviews the Nokia 7380 and writes about the phone's camera: "Despite the higher image quality, it was difficult to note the difference when capturing an image because of the phone's screen size. As mentioned, the camera can also record video at 176x144 pixels in 3GP format. Resulting images were surprisingly clear and detailed for a camera phone, and the captured videos were good enough, considering its low resolution."

PCMag reviews the Nokia 7380 and writes about the phone's camera: "The 2MP camera has a decent flash, for a camera phone, and takes shots quickly. The shots are decently sharp, but we saw red and blue color halos and lots of color noise, putting the 7380 well behind camera phones such as the Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman. The movie mode takes videos at a choppy 176-by-144 and 15 frames per second."

Slashphone reviews the Nokia 7380 and finds it has a lot of contraints, but it's a phone you won't forget using. About the phone's camera: "The back of this phone is covered in leather, and that’s where the lens of the camera can be found. This is a very good 2 mega-pixel camera we are talking about. The small screen doesn’t do the pictures justice. You got to transfer the pictures into your computer to see its real quality. There’s no shortcut to get to the camera. You got to scroll through the menu and find it in the “Media” selections. The camera comes with 4x zoom which you can activate with the scroll."
