Nokia 7260 Review
Phone rating:
Review: October 2004. Updated February 2006.
The Art Deco inspired design of the Nokia 7260 comes with a coordinated carrying
pouch and strap, revealing Nokia's intention to make this phone a fashion item.
It is a beautiful phone to look at, with its curved edges, high gloss finish
and contrasting silvery highlights, and practical too, although the keypad suffers
a little in usability.
The 65k colour display is bright and clear, although small, but good enough.
The camera is VGA standard (640 x 480 pixels), and again is average. The integrated
video recorder and FM radio are welcome additions, but all things considered
there is nothing special in the functionality of this phone. It does enough,
and looks stylish at the same time!
Overall, a good mid-range phone, packaged in an unusual and distinctive design,
that is slim, lightweight and practical. This phone will appeal to those wanting
something a little different and exclusive - not because of particularly high
cost, but because it is different. You should also consider the new Nokia
7360 from Nokia's L'Amour Collection.
Features of the Nokia 7260 include:
- Display: active matrix, 65,536 colours, 128 x 128 pixels
- Integrated VGA camera with video recording and night mode
- Integrated FM radio
- Polyphonic ringtones (16-voice MIDI)
- Voice recorder
- Flash messaging (instant messaging)
- Downloadable themes
- 5-way navigation joystick
- Multimedia Messaging (MMS), E-mail
- Internal handsfree speaker for group calls
- Voice dialing
- Voice commands
- Clothing and shoe size converter
- Two preinstalled games: Glamour Pinball and Backgammon, plus downloadable
Java games
- WAP, GPRS, XHTML browser
- HSCSD and EGPRS for high-speed
data connectivity
- Mobile wallet for storage of your numbers and passwords
- Pop-Port interface and infrared
- Tri-band
- Size: 105 x 45 x 18 mm
- Weight: 92g
- Talktime: 3 hours
- Battery standby: up to 14 days

I bought this phone 7 years ago and it still works fine.Of course it's
dated now but I like its unique design.The memory is limited (about
2.2MB) and it can't be expanded.What's more,the camera is mediocre.If
you want to take some nice photos,then this phone is clearly not for
you.

This is a rubbish phone, the memory is non existant and the so called
"art-deco" style cover is of very poor quality. keeping it in a pants
pocket and using it for txt msgs will result in scratched keypad and
phone. The feature set is the standard nokia with standard menu system.
it has an FM radio but is nothing special. The camera on the phone is
rubbish, i find myself having to explain most of the spur of the moment
pictures i have taken, as the people i show them to cant quite make
out what they are. If your looking for a phone for features and functions
look somewhere else, if you want the "in thing" for 6 months then this
might the the phone for you.

small memory, no bloototh,i have nao sony ericsson k750I and its miles
away better then this one, but if you prefer nokia chose a 6230i its

I would have to agree with Liam from Scotland on this phone. My previous
phone was a 3650 and much more user-friendly, with more features and
less fussy than the 7260. It's a very 'funky' looking phone, and all
my friends love it, but after having an upgrade to this phone I am really
fed up with it, especially after the text messages I recieved came up
with '*some text missing*' which is not only fustrating, but inconvenient
and tedious as I mainly use text messaging as my way of contacting people!
Good for some girls who like 'style' I think its just tack!

I have read that a few of you have had difficulty getting the front
cover off this phone. Well what you need is a Torx Key. This was the
only way, no screwdriver we had, philips, jewellery or otherwise would
do the job. Good Luck

Good looks! And unfortunately that about sums up the 7260.I used it
as a back up phone for a few days and I wasn't too impressed. It seems
to promise a lot in appearance but hardly lives up to it. Great as a
cosmetic accesory than a functional phone for anyone constantly on the
move. the keypad's very difficult to use at speed, internal memory is
very limited, no bluetooth (surprising, given today's standards in mobile
telephony).On the plus side, it does have a good camera, good resolution
on prints.Maybe more suited to fashion concious ladies...

No need for any more comments as the stars suggest that the phone is
outstanding. I have this phone, excellent sound clarity, picture quality,
when you download the pics from phone to computer you cannot distinguish
between normal digi cam pics and the pics from the phone. small memory
but never mind. if you are not going for more features like bluetooth
mp3player then this phone suits you best. amazing looks. my fav colours
Black background and red foreground. you have to see the phone in the
dark as key pad illuminates with red letters wooooow. amazing.

Might look snazzy, but it's capabilities are sorely lacking. The functions
are extremely non user friendly, not to mention it's connectivity doesn't
exist!! No IR, No Bluetooth. It's a phone simply for looking different
and for using as a phone with no added extras. Oh yeah but it does have
a radio!! big deal, my 8310 from 3 years ago and 4 phones ago had one,

Had this fone 6 months and loved it at first. then i realised there
is hardly any memory whatsoever. I could store about 30 photos max,
thats with no videos otherwise I would have to erase more photos. Answer
to your question bop, the front cover is extremeley difficult to get
off. It is held in by 2 tiny screws, which need the smallest screwdriver
in the world to get off. Unfortunately for me as I was getting the last
one out my cover snapped.great! All in all the phone isnt really worth
bothering with!

I wanted to buy Nokia 7600, but when I saw this phone in display, I
just went for it. Till now this phone has been good. I wish there was
a way to play Radio without using Headset but that's okay. This phone
has all those features which is just enough for a normal phone user
like me. I've had no complains with Nokia as such till date and all

ive owned this phone for 6 months now and its finally stopped working.
its been the best, keeping me busy with games and voice recordings,
the memory is extremely small i have to keep deleting pictures i want
to get more. so what if it doesnt have true tones... record them and
use them as ring tones. the main prooblem ive got now is that the ear
piece (speaker) has stopped going. loud speaker goes ok but really quiet,
and ive been through all of the settings. has anyone else come across
this problem? and also ive never figured out how to get the front faceplate
off... any hints? bout to try send it back to the shop to get fixed....

The phone looks great....and that's where it ends! Have had the phone
for 2 months now. It Keeps disconnecting me from the network, so I keep
missing calls and the texts seem to arrive in clumps every 25 or so
minutes. Very unreliable. So frustrating! It only vibrates half the
time. Dodgy camera. I may just have a dud phone but it has apparently
been 'fixed'. Still no change. Groovy phone but shoddy networking and
workmanship here from Nokia. Give me back my old Alcatel any day.

I was asked for an opinion which phone would I reccomend and the first
one I said was Samsung D500 cause I have it myself and very satisfied
with it.But he sait that he prefear a NOKIA phone.Well what I dont like
in NOKIA's is that you have to wait too long to open an image or a menu
or whatever.This is the problem of all NOKIA phones.Samsung phones do
not have this problem.It is a great phone for somebody who wants to
be stylish and do not use all features and says that 'he needs a phone
to call and to get called'.This phone is poor in options.It has NO bluetooth,MP3
player,video recording is just 50 sec(in compare with Samsung d 500
60 minutes),memory is too short to store all the files on it.There are
more options than memory itself etc etc.This is the phone for a somedy
who do not use all the options there are.I would not recommend this
phone to somebody who want to get everything from the phone.Design is
pretty cool though.Red backlight....nice.by the way when you take it
in your hands it gets dirty very soon cause there are a lot of metallic
parts taht show your fingerprince.The phone is O.k

Pleased be informed, that NOKIA 7260 is one of the good phones ever
produced by NOKIA world. Base on my findings, I discovered that the
Phone is very quite, portable and fashionable for both sex. It has this
unique look that attracts every living creature to see what is all about.
All phones produced by Nokia are too excellent. Nokia products has always
been part of my me. It is against the backdrop of this fact that I humbly
request you to go for any NOKIA products, they are simply the best.

the serious part its features are quite good. This mobile concenrated
to those people who dont follow fashion but create fashion. Owing to
which this sexy thing is on the top priority list to those people. Its
features like having a radio, mms message, infrared, a vga camera are
something to be cherished about. But still it leaves few faults its
memory, lack of composer, it dosent support extra memory card owing
to which business tycoons will not look upon it. It has few extra things
included like size converter and etc but it was of no use to me. It
has quite good amount of wallpapers and ringtones are music to ones

a good quality camera and video, and the radio is a real bonus. The
battery on the phone is really good (about 3 days wothout charging i
think)and also the user guide and all documents you get with it are
really helpfull and straightworward. Its quite a small phone and is
light so its not a handfull. Its design is really cool too and it has
changeable covers. The settings on the phone and profiles/WAP/games
are the same as on every phone ive had from nokia whcih are good. Try
downloading free games and tones from nokia.com on your wap. Only downfall
i have is the screen getting scratched whcih is why i prefer the clam

Very impressive phone, altogether. slightly disappointed by the frame
rate when you take a video, and also i seem to find that when i am sent
a video, the sound and the pictures move at different rates (like a
badly dubbed chinese movie!)i also have a Nokia 7250i, which this phone
is replacing, and an NEC e228. i sent the videos on to the NEC (which
i find very good in features, but hard to text on as the buttons are
made for Munchkins, and the menu seems to take ice ages to decide what
to do when asked. i won't start on the SIZE of the thing!) Overall,
i am pleased with the look and feel of the 7260, i like the improved
features, but wish that they had made it compatible with the crop of
TrueTones, as polyphonics are getting a little silly now; they mostly
sound like an 80's band on a cheapo casio keyboard. one thing nobody
has mentioned so far is the FANTASTIC charger. how cool is that? i'd
buy it again just for the fact it looks like Jasper Conran designed
it! so, well done Nokia, just PLEASE try to get ahead of the competition,
instead of following.

The good points about the phone are 1)Its very hot! and damn stylish
2)Its sleek and has a cool looking keypad. 3)Has all the features that
a good cell phone shud have. Bad features:- 1)keypad gets stuck sometimes
while typing a message. 2) network is not so good. 3)Joystick is a problem
to use.U end up somewhere if you press the joystick by mistake in a
direction u dont intend to.Better go for the Sony Ericsson K700i rather

When I started looking for a new mobile I tried to fall for the 6230
- I'd heard good things and a couple of friends had them and found them
great phones. But in the end I went for the 7260 because it was a beautiful
piece of equipment with a visual sensibility I admired. And I'm not
disappointed. It does everything I need it to do and hasn't given me
any problems so far, but it also makes me smile every time I go to use
it because it's gorgeous and I like surrounding myself with beautiful
things! So for anyone looking for a different, sophisticated-looking
phone with some really nice wallpapers and screensavers, this series
of Nokias should really appeal.

Its quite large and i found it quite "plasticy". For the price my friend
paid for it she should have definatally bought the nokia 6230 which
is more compact and has more memory. A good phone but not worth the
money in my opinion. Nokia dont seem to be bothereing with the phones
they are bringing out! Better and larger colour screens are needed and
the keypad size definatally needs to be downsized!

! It has eveything you need : radio, photos, translator (english, french,
german, italian and spanish), converter (money, sizes...) and most of
all it looks very very chic !!!

It's a decent phone with decent design. But hooking up the phone to
the computer is such a pain! The DKU-5 Cable costs 50 bucks, uses a
USB connection but you can't go into the phone and retrieve the pictures
out like a flash drive. You have to use the counter-intuinitve Nokia
Suite program which doesn't even recognise the phone 90% of the time.
And after u spent all the time, effort and money, you realise the quality
of the pictures are jus plain bad.

Well, what can i say. Only nokia know how to make phones so heavy and
big and yet make them feel so plasticy and cheap. They could have at
least made the diplay a little bigger. Can hardly see a thing with the
camera, everyrhing is so fuzzy. The only thing which saves this phone
from being a complete disaster is the radio.

I love the look of this fone, very 80s retro looking if you're into
that kind of look. Nice, lightweight and slimline phone, I used to have
the nokis 3200 before this and that feels like a chunky brick compared
to this one! The menu backgrounds could do with looking more innovative,
it looks quite dated compared to the overall look of the phone. All
in all, I'm very pleased with this phone, well worth the 2 week wait
for it to come into stock!!

very nice looking on the outside, but the screen graphics seem rubbish...the
menu icons look very basic and monocolour and you cant change the size
of the menu font...its so big....the phonebook names can only be a certain
length long (most of my entries are in shortened form or without a forename
now)...im comparing the graphics and menu icons etc with the ericsson
T610 which I had previously- that phone looks dated from the exterior
now compared to the 7260, but the screen colours and icons look so much
brighter, varied and detailed....maybe im doing something wrong ? can
anyone tell me how to get some nice icons and screensavers and colourful
wallpaper...the choice of colours is rubbish and in standby mode that
digital clock looks sooo 80s! this is the first nokia I bought, cos
they finally brought out a goodlooking phone...but the screen graphics
are very disappointing!

The memory on this phone is rubbish and it doesnt have bluetooth. Ok
it looks alright but if I wanted a phone to just call and text message
I would get the Nokia 1100. The phone has about as much features as
the Nokia 3310. I wouldnt recommend this phone to anyone. The phone
you should get is the Nokia 6230

I love this phone...ok, the memory's not huge, and it doesn't have Bluetooth..but
if you're looking for a phone that you can ring and text people from
(crazy i know, to want these things from a mobile!) and something a
little different...then this is for you! It's beautiful, the art work
you can select is fab, and generally you won't find a better looking
phone anywhere! But it's not too much of a fashion item not to work...it
has a longer battery life and talk time than most new nokias, so if
you're looking for a phone that does what phones are meant to do, plus
wanting to look the chicest cat in town buy this!!!!

What is wrong with Nokia??? Why can't they design descent phones anymore?
and i am not talking about the style but the tiny screen which has a
keyboard twice its size. Weren't they the ones who invented the first
compact mobile phones so why have a phone this big and not give it a
screen which has at least a 128x160 resolution. A real shame as the
specifications and the overall style are impressive.

It's absolutely rubbish! I don't advise you to buy this fone as it has
very limited memory space and not enough features to keep a normal person
entertained! It really does need more features, the design shouldnt
win you over either and if it does then your very easily pleased...

I must admit I bought this phone for its unconventional design. As it
has been made well known that it's not packed with plenty of features,
it's good enough for a low-tech person like me. Maybe it won't appeal
to a lot of people, and that's what made it even more "unique". I would
say this is the "best" looking phone I have owned so far, would recommend
it to people who loves individuality.

I was about to buy the 7610, but saw the 7260. Although the 7610 has
way better features than this phone, this phone won my heart because
it was very nicely designed and because it just felt right. You'll know
what I mean when you hold the phone. It is easy to hold and it feels
great. The functions are what you would expected from a mid range Nokia
mobile. The radio function with the loudspeaker mode is also another
plus. Although I must say, Nokia was a bit stingy on the memory size
given to a mobile phone that has camera, voice recorder and also a camera
recorder. Otherwise, no problems and a nice looking phone. Thanks Nokia
for bringing a DIFFERENT looking phone!
