Nokia 7710


Nokia’s 7710 is quite possibly the oddest handsets on the market today. It doesn’t have a number pad, and it looks more like a games console than a phone. This is all part and parcel of the bigger picture with this device, though – it is a true hybrid, and if my days of evaluation tell me nothing else, they shout loud and clear that any company wanting to offer the best of all possible worlds needs to think very carefully indeed about its approach – many times has such a concept been tried without success.

I say this because while the Nokia 7710 has built-in software for business users, for those needing data and voice communications, and for those looking for entertainment, it fails to offer the best experiences; instead having some real highlights and some grave disappointments.
