Nokia 7280
First Impressions of the 7280
Hi!
I managed to grab one of the first 7280's here in Switzerland - two days before christmas.
Here are some of my impressions:
- The Audio capabilities are really not extensive. It's the usual Voice dialling known ever since legendary 8210 - you assign a certain "voice sound" to a name in your address book. Only news is, you can now also assign a few menu functions of the phone to sound commands as well. Not really groundbreaking, is it...?
- short messaging works surprisingly well! The smart text input is REALLY helpful, especially in long words.
- The little details are the killer - at least in this very first software version. Scrolling through names in the address book is terribly slow - sometimes with a three second time l...

Thanks for the quick review.
Please update us on how well the stability is improved when software updates are released.
Have you had a chance to see how well the FM receiver works?

Sorry, haven't tryed the FM Receiver.
Problem for me:
Nokia FM-Receivers usually require a wire headpohone to be plugged in, since it serves as Antenna. I use a bluetooth headphone. Bummer!
But then again - I have an Ipod, so I never need the function anyway ;-)
Will update on stability after phone gets back from service.
Cheers, Johannes
