Not so often, along with a conversation about another gadget comes to a high art. Today, the world is not as creative close to the world of electronic, as sometimes they would have liked. Strict classical aesthetic categories are always in the move, they are rectangular in the iron and laptop, phone or business, for example, flash drive, but things by their exceptional design, original and innovative found not always or everywhere, because they stand on the order , or even for two more. How much is now mobile the work of art? ..

At this point in the market of mobile phones can be found multiple lines of tubes of different manufacturers targeted, of course, a weak half the audience of consumers. Why only women tend to be fashion-phones, and men - only to the functional smartphone and image of the apparatus of precious metals? This issue is perhaps better to ask a psychologist and marketing, and for us, the ordinary people is important study itself, which today is a series of representative masthead L’Amour Collection - Nokia 7390.

Telephone, confess is not for the mass market. It said both appearance and cost. At the time of writing for the Nokia 7390 PCT asked around $ 600, which is comparable to the prices of the newest models the most advanced communicators based on Windows Mobile and far exceeds the cost of similar solutions to other global mobile manufacturers. Recall that in a series of L’Amour Collection also includes monoblock Nokia 7360, which was announced as early as last year, and the extra bed-roteytor Nokia 7373, which historically release coincides with the 7390 and belongs to the fourth quarter of 2006. The price of these models is now around $ 200 and $ 400 respectively, which once again proves the flexibility of positioning Nokia products on the market, such as uniform gap in the value of the trust of consumers remain minimal chances of doubt in the selection. So, proceed to the case and turn to the exact technical specifications:

Appearance

Nokia 7390 attracted attention, of course, non-standard materials that are used in the manufacture of the shell. Judge for yourself: here and leather, and metal, and textile, plastic and old. But about everything in order. Phone is available in two versions: Bronze Black and Powder Pink. They differ as color plastic outer shell elements (dark brown and light pink, respectively) and the keyboard color (silver and bronze), along with the shade of metallic elements and the figure top bar and leather inserts the battery compartment lid. By the way, the top screen support apparatus is located, the three keys to manage in a closed condition and decorative printed box of light and thin metal.On the brink of the top left pane on the same level with three buttons located proprietary tissue box with the logo of fashion-series - all characteristic of this line of appliances. At the bottom of the same parties settled top-down connector for connecting the charging device, a button on / off / profile switch and infrared window.

On the right side you can find the conjugate key management and loudness button activating the camera. The lower part of the phone does not contain any functional elements, and the top is 2.5 mm audio jack and interface type mini-USB port. In fact, the Nokia 7390 be recognized in the system as usual Solid State Disk, which allows to access the memory card directly, without additional software.

Keyboard unit is a classic for the Nokia Series 40 implementation. Right-and left soft keys associated with the buttons on the reception and Lights Out “call” five- trench stick with a fairly large silver Keys confirmation, which noticeably above the neighbouring elements. In the dark keyboard highlighted perfectly smooth white light, so that all the buttons are distinctively. In general, a big enough area to evaluate all key keyboard as the Nokia 7390 is an ergonomic solution to be easily treated with one hand even people with a big brush.

Among the minuses Nokia 7390 is worth noting brightness screens - both external and internal. On physical displays Nokia 7390 and 6131 are identical, that is, with a diagonal internal 2.2 “(33 mm х46), and an external 1.36″ (21 mm х27), but in terms of picture quality there are substantial differences. The fact is that the brightness traditionally for Series 40 3rd Edition FP1 is not user-configurable, and the manufacturer itself sets this parameter on the basis primarily of energy apparatus. As a result, we have an excellent display with excellent clarity and high resolution, which plays on the worst matrix parameters established in other phones. Embedded sensors automatically adjust the brightness of the situation, unfortunately, not rescues. External display even more faded - well information is read from it only in complete darkness.

The back plate is fixed with a single latch and fitted with a large decorative leather inset. Here is the same “eye” built-in camera for 3 Mpix and window outbreak, traditionally performed on the basis of the simplest LED that is used as a flashlight Nokia 7390 will fail. Under the lid, you can find a polymer-lithium battery packs BP-5M, and the slot for a SIM card from the slot and lateral loading slot for a memory card with a smart latch. SIM card is retrieved with the help of slide latch lever on the left of the memory card. This process, it must be admitted, some non-trivial and requires patience.

Regarding the subjective impressions of the use of the phone, they were very positive. Perhaps this is a purely psychological factor - not every day among the endless flow of all kinds of plastic or metal skin occurs, and has not so any more leather and metal processing possess a deft device in a plane design as a holistic concept. From a practical point of view, not every image phone boasts resistance to a highly visible fingerprints and divorce from them. This time, engineers and designers Nokia managed to almost completely excluded from the glossy surface of the shell, is that the entire perimeter of the end is almost mirrored silver box “under the chrome.” Among similar appearance products on the market EMEA mind only Samsung E420 and E500, but it is certainly very different price range, and significant differences in functionality. Thus, direct competitors of the Nokia 7390 is simply no.

Inside

Program Nokia 7390 is based on the popular Series 40 platform today 3rd Edition FP1 the so-called Active Stand By, like, for example, or Eseries devices managed by Windows Mobil e. In standby mode at the main screen displays information about the state of radio that if they run, there also appears the name “is currently track. In addition, the top line of icons located for quick access to any frequently used menu items, but with the help of a special field in the bottom of the note can be done fast, which will be displayed on the active desktop than your humble servant throughout the month often enjoyed. “reminder” two touching - it is great.

Among the main screen configuration options are available only active content (fast access to certain items, or information about radiomodule audio record-player etc.), the choice of colors for the font Active Standby Mode, choose the font size for separately
communications / contacts / browser setting animation and display service messages (Cell Info). Preferences backlight brightness and time is not provided, as well as the possibility of switching off the light sensor. For additional display, you can choose various počasí saver, and set up energy saving modes. In closed on the external screen displays additional information about missed calls and received SMS, and the menu is quick access to basic multimedia functions (radio, and audio record-player cell), and paragraph to the keypad. Looking at the camera could be built even without revealing the phone, quite convenient. While playing audio screenchike placed on the small and the main title song playback control buttons.

Main menu can be displayed in the grid mode icons 3 x4 item grid with text signatures, and the list of bookmarks. The latter looks the most attractive. Your phone can select various options for font size for the item “Communications”, “Contact” and “Internet”. But language preferences are limited only points Menu phone and Voice functions, while insert mode varies directly with the contents of text fields traction. Phonebook able accommodate up to 1000 records, and each contact can compare individual parameters for the call (melody, picture or video file). The maximum number of teams contact equals 25. Voice recruitment and management of the menu is not traditionally a high efficiency: automatically synthesized voice tags almost never coincide with a real human voice, because in order to reach the required numbers, it is much faster and more accurately using tactile method. Accordingly, the internal design of the external decoration is also sufficiently flexible and stylistically consistent with the changed phone (and Bronze Black Powder Pink). To personalize the graphical user interface is available to those 9 original design as well as tones can be set one of the 16 tunes in a format MXMF and AAC, which is used only in a series of L’Amour Collection.

When you connect your phone to USB, you can choose from three modes: Default (also known as PC Suite - requires a large corporate computer software), Printing (for direct printing using devices that support PictBridge) and the Data Storage (memory card installed in the system as a normal Solid State Disk). We tested speed ligament Nokia 7390 plus a complete map of 128 MB miniSD volume using synthetic linear reading test kit from AIDA v3.96:

Obviously, the speed of 0.96 Mb / s clearly not enough for the comfort of mediafiles. For example, the average c-resolution snapshot of 1600 х1200 takes about 300-500 KB, while the video format 3gp run 3 minutes “eat” some 50 Mb - this is not to mention the fact that some want to listen to MP3 or ACC. However, even such a symptom suffer much more expensive and functional machines, because we used the excellent Chinese Drapes as you suggest. Media player presents video, audio, radio, voice recorder and camera. Audioplayer can make a playlist, transmit sound via Bluetooth, playing music in a different manner, and perhaps all. Built five- lined equalizer satisfy all not effete Hi-Fi ears. The phone module installed Bluetooth version 2.0 with support for EDR, with the support of the following profiles: Headset, Dial-Up Networking, Object Push, File Transfer, Hands-Free v1.5, and A2DP SIM Access.
Built camera allows for pictures with a resolution of 2048×1536, 1600 х1200, 1280 960, 640 х480, 320 х240 and 160 x 120 pixels. While video modes available 640 х480, 352 h258, 176 h144 and 128 h96. There are 8 - multiplying the digital zoom, effects (shades of grey, sepia, negative), white balance setting (Night mode), the outbreak and the timer (10 seconds), setting preview of time (in this mode outbreak is not) and the serial shooting. Video traditionally recorded at speeds of no more than 15 frames per second, but with this feature of the phone has no problems. On the whole system of active Auto achieves acceptable for a typical phone-CMOS image sensor quality, but up to this parameter on Nseries Nokia 7390 is certainly not short. Using exactly 3 Mpix fotomodul - is

marketing move - no more. The phone supports MIDP 2.0, JSR 139 (CLDC1.1), JSR 75 (file transfer and personal organizer), JSR 135, JSR 184 (3D) and JSR 82 (BT). Provided that JB1 and JB2 performed in a window 240 () 7390 by typical tests showed the following results:

Result fully comparable with the characteristics of mainstream extra bed-Nokia 6131. Telephone excellent cope with simultaneous playback of audio and implementation of Java-based applications, but take the camera along with the Java no longer work. Overall performance speed menu is quite high and is not satisfactory. Lifetime Nokia 7390 from a single battery charge averages about two days of conversation with modest duration 10-15 minutes, and moderate use of the camera, GPRS, and Bluetooth radio. This is the result of average among similar vehicles. Sila shakes enough so as not to miss a call when the phone is in jeans or shirts. Summing up, it should be noted that the Nokia 7390 is the telephone of very bright appearance, but only followed functional features, which confess to the same level. As masthead apparatus fashion-ruler Nokia, this model shows a fashionable female representative of the world, as well as artists and people with delicate taste. Finally, list all the pros and cons.

Pluses:

. outstanding design;
. ergonomic shape;
. 3G support;
. comfortable keyboard.

Negative:
. low speed with memory card;
. not very bright displays;
. high cost.
