Introduction, packaging
I will start this review too with some philosophical thoughts about user habits. No matter we deny it or not, nowadays the cell phones are a kind of status symbol – at least for most people – besides being a consumer good. The manufacturers know this too and this is why the category of luxury phones and fashion handsets has been created a couple of years ago, although the second one is about something different than showing off with something that costs the whole sum on our bank account. Of course not everyone wants – or dares? – to run around with a luxury phone, so many choose the top model of their favored manufacturer, independently of whether they make use of the lots of features.
The fashion phones, however, are a different category. These handsets are not cheap, so they are great to reflect (or “fake”) our financial situation, but they are mostly fashion products. A couple of years ago the phone could have been dressed up to match our clothing, but nowadays changeable front covers are gone so what is left are the shine, the shrill patterns, the uniqueness and the jewels for cell phones. We men have a bit of a hard time to understand, but a cell phone is part of the clothing for many ladies, and this is why they take their decision based on the design instead of the features when buying a phone. Still, they had some problems until now, as fashion phones were usually mid-range ones and it’s not sure that the future users wanted to make use of that. It looks like Nokia was the first to realize that this niche is still not exploited and a good-looking, but “dumb”, or basic handset should be launched, so those who would like to use a fashionable phone only for phone calls won’t have to unnecessarily buy the lots of megapixels and hi-res screen.
So here is Nokia 7070 Prism, which has been provided by XXL GSM. This is a low-end phone, so it came in a small box which only had the handset and the charger inside – not as if there would have been room for anything else.
