Review: Nokia 7360

Nokia 7360 Review

Phone rating:

The first in Nokia's L'Amour Collection to be released, the Nokia 7360 is a beautifully crafted device, made from a combination of leather-inspired materials, etched metal, and transparent surfaces. It's not about what it does, it's how it looks and feels that matters here.

Apart from the look, there's nothing special here. The 7360 does enough to be acceptable for the money that you pay, but nothing more. It has an ordinary VGA resolution camera (0.3 megapixels) with a rather poor video camera. The display is below average for this type of phone. Ringtones are of average quality, although the phone does support MP3 ringtones. There's a stereo FM radio, which is definitely a plus, and an integrated handsfree speaker.

The small memory of the 7360 is one of the biggest disappointments. At just 4 Mbytes, there really isn't enough to hold more than a couple of short video clips or a few dozen photos. A single MP3 ringtone will probably fill all the available memory. This tends to make the phone's functions more of a gimmick than anything else.

Still, as we already mentioned, buyers of the L'Amour Collection are probably not motivated primarily by tech specs, and the 7360 is a good-enough mid-priced phone with a very special design, and if the looks appeal, then it's probably worth buying.

Features of the Nokia 7360 include:

• VGA camera (0.3 megapixels)
• Video camera
• Display: 65,536 colours, 128 x 160 pixels
• FM stereo radio
• Integrated handsfree speaker
• Voice recorder
• Voice commands
• Push to Talk
• 24-voice polyphonic ringtones / MP3 ringtones
• Messaging: SMS, MMS, Instant Messaging, E-mail (SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4)
• Java games
• Web browser
• WAP 2.0, GPRS Class 10, HSCSD, EDGE
• Connectivity: USB, infra-red
• Memory: 4 Mbytes
• Triband
• Size: 105 x 45 x 18 mm
• Weight: 92g
• Talktime: 4 hours
• Battery standby: up to 450 hours

Well... This Phone Is Good For Calling && Texting . Although It Does Have A Very Small Memory && A Bad Camera Resolution && Video Camera . Memory Is rubbish . No BlueTooth ! But What Do You Expect For £40 ? The Design Is Absolutely BEAUTIFUL . The Battery Is Good . This Phone Is An Okay Phone... Not For Teens . Hope I Helped .

have had the golden version for about 2 years now. It sometimes just turns off for no reason at all, wich is annoying! The camera is rubbish so never use it. But since i only need it for calling and texting its great.

The keys responds straight & honest and is a relief to text msg with ease. The volume when it rings is outrageous to my ears but a deserving thumbs UP as opposed to my SE V800i which I held on only for the flashlight on it, but this simple model is adequate for the purpose it was made for, mobile and keeping it simple. A 4 out of 5 in my opinion.

I'm not gonna bit*ch about memory, mp3 or any other stuff you don't need, since I only use phones for making/receiving calls and sending/receiving SMS. The main problem I see with this phone is this: SLOW. It is very slow. You cannot navigate through the menu fast enough and this is very irritating. I have Nokia 6020 which is much older than this phone, but works like 3 times faster than this. I only give it 3 stars insead of 2 just for nice design.

I cant understand why people slate this phone. I had the gold version for 2 years and have now bought the pink version. Sure its a basic phone, but for £40 what do you expect. The high tech phones always break anyway. If you want mp3s then buy an ipod. Those of you complaining obviously have enough money to throw around. Always research a phone before buying. Nokia never made a secret of the low memory and low res camera so why are you moaning about it? A good but basic phone. Reliable and attractive. Best for people who just want to call and text.

This phone is a waste of money. It looses signal all the time, alarm stopped working, there was no noise when it was ringing, some of the feature icons disappeared in the menu, it wouldnt unlock and it wouldnt turn off. I ended up having to take the battery out to turn it off. Very disappointing as i've always had nokia phones and never any problems.

this phone is very pretty, easy to use.. but that's all the good stuff about about it. There's no mp3, no bluetooth, it's sooooooo slow and the camera sucks: no zoom, only 0.3 (!!!) megapixel. There might be a video camera but the maximum of filming is 1 minute and 15 seconds.. You can't barely save things on this cell, 'cause there's almost no memory. unless you delete the java games, tunes and so on. Another minus is the infra-red: IT DOESN'T WORK!!! DONT EVER BUY THIS PHONE. IT'S RUBBISH..

I only need a basic phone and I was happy with this one until the ringing died. I never know when I'm getting a call now unless I have it in my pocket and it vibrates. That is a bit of a drawback. Texts too are silent.

I bought this phone because of its look. I don't use cameras or videos on phones so that doesn't matter to me. I also liked the quietness of the key pad. Unforunately I had to return the phone as the sound quality was very poor. Callers sounded like they were a long way away and when I increased the volume it became fuzzy and sounded like a tinny old radio. Shame really as it is a good looking phone.

This is the worst phone I ever had in my life!!! I am a big fan of Nokia, and I have been buying their brand for 10 years now, but this phone is absolute rubbish. I really don't care about cameras, music etc... since I only use my phone for calls and text. However, this phone is not even able to accomplish the basics! the battery lasts one conversation and if you get your cheek to close to the keypad (like when you speak on your phone!)it just get crazy and starts dialling itself. BIG BIG dissapointed and I don't understand how Nokia has something as terrible as this on the market.

This phone is the best i have had i think, it has a very stylish design and is different from alot of the other phones. I own the warm amber/gold version which has a floral pattern on it. This makes it very feminine. Its great for people that dont like the common phones, its unique and sophisticated! However the only dissapointment is the low memory, but i am not too bothered by this. It has everything i want on it and has been a very good phone!!

The buttons on the phone are quite small which makes texting a little awkward. The phone is quite chunky and not as slimline as I thought.

I currently own a Nokia 6230i and was offered this phone as part of free upgrade with Orange. Without knowing too much about the model I accepted the upgrade based on the premise that I may return it if it did not meet my needs. Well, after owning this phone for about 1 hour, I have concluded that it is about as useful as a steaming pile of dog poo. I suggest you stay away from this model. I have sent the model back as it is not up to scratch. Poor memory (only 4 MB), poor camera (only 0.3 MP) and poor screen. This model is designed for the handbags of women that like to strut their stuff on the Kings Road in Chelsea. If you are looking for a serious and practical handset the Nokia 7360 is not for you. I suggest you stay away from this model even if it's offered to you free of charge.

Oh dear...where to start. For what it "does" this is a hideously overpriced piece of equipment. 3MB non expandable memory means that by the time you have put a few pictures on it, or even an MP3 ringtone then the phone is full. Shocking "themes", and un-responsive buttons don't really help too much either. Nokia claim it will turn heads...Perhaps that's only so people will turn away so you can't see them laughing at you ! A new low for Nokia. Not much "amour" here !
