Nokia 7900 is a true example of out-of-the-box thinking. It is clearly not the most feature-packed phone on the market but it brings an enviable number of innovations. The main highlight of course is the 16M color OLED display, which is the first in the whole company portfolio, hitting the shelves one month before the second one - 8800 Arte.
The Nokia 7900 Prism has been designed to be noticed. This beautiful handset is a style & fashion focused 3G phone which will gain attention on looks as well as its useable built in features. The looks of the phone will cause a stir with its stylish diamond patterns cut into the aluminum casing & the attractive diamond cut keypad. The overall size of the handset is good which makes the 7900 Prism easy to carry & use at all times. The casing is 112mm high by 45mm wide by 11mm deep which provides the user with a slim mobile handset. The 7900 Prism weighs a total of 101 grams which is a good weight for the user to carry. This style focus phone comes with an amazing light effect feature which allows the user customise their new phone with forty nine different colours. The light effects can be seen when the handset is either turned off, turned on or when the Nokia 7900 Prism is simply in idle mode. The screen provides a high quality viewing display for the user to enjoy highly effective living wallpapers & screensavers on their stylish phone. The screen provides up to sixteen million colours on an organic LED screen which has a screen resolution of 240 x 320 pixels on a two Inch display. The 7900 Prism is for the same Nokia range as the Nokia 7500 Prism & both phones are fashion focused mobile handsets which are beautifully designed.
The 3G phone comes with a battery which will provide approximately 300 hours of standby time or 3 hours of talk time from a fully charged battery. The phone is a quad band phone which allows the user to enjoy worldwide roaming which is fully dependant on the network operator. The phone covers GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 & WCDMA networks. The 3G capabilities provide the user with high speed Internet browsing & the phone comes with a XHTML/HTML multi browser. The 7900 Prism comes with 1 Gbyte of internal memory which allows the user to store all their contacts details, pictures, video & music with ease. The user can enjoy fast data downloads & transfers as the Nokia 7900 Prism is a 3G phone complete with EDGE technology for a high speed experience. The phone supports Bluetooth® connectivity which allows the user to transfer files & download data using a wireless connection between any two Bluetooth® compatible devices. The user can synchronise information or contacts details using a PC application by either using a wireless Bluetooth® connection or a USB cabled connection between devices.
Summarizing our experience with Nokia 7900 we have to say that this attractive handset offered quite pleasing performance. It was fun to use and provided very good user experience in most cases. However, it is a complicated question whether and how worth it is to purchase. Having in mind the hefty price tag of the Prism, we cannot overlook the fact that Nokia 6500 slide would be a much more reasonable buy in terms of value for money. Though the Prism's exotic exterior and playful lights stand little comparison to the solid conservatism of the slide.

Samsung Armani
The model designation that hides behind the Samsung Armani name is actually Samsung P520. That alone may be enough of a hint that the Armani phone is an offshoot of the Samsung P-series. The Samsung Armani has inherited the same form factor and has the same size and weight as the Samsung P310 for example. The Samsung Armani phone comes in two retail packages - standard and extended . The difference between the two is the Bluetooth headset in the bigger one. The standard contents of the retail box are a hard leather case, charger, data cable, memory card, a wired stereo headset, soft pouch as an alternative to the leather case and, finally, a cleaning cloth. All the contents of the box look really classy and are all Giorgio Armani branded. The user guide has the most exquisite covers we've seen, for example.
Key features: Main disadvantages:
The user can listen to music on the move with the built in music player & radio feature. The music player supports popular music formats which include MP3, AAC & AAC+ formats.

The phone comes with a caller identification feature which allows the user to assign a photo or image to a contact in the user's phone book. The user will see the chosen image or photo each time the contact calls which brings a fun element to this stylish handset. The user can download games to suit their gaming taste & the Samsung Armani comes with preloaded games ready & waiting to be enjoyed. The handsfree speaker phone feature allows the user to rest their Armani phone on their desk or table whilst taking a call over the phones built in speaker system which gives the user a handsfree calling experience. The user will find all the common day to day features on their new mobile phone which include a built in calendar, calculator, currency convertor & world clock. Messaging others has never been so easy as this well equipped fashion phone comes with all the messaging services a user could desire. The user can create, send, delete, manage & receive a selection of messages on their phone. The phone supports a mobile email service, SMS text messaging & MMS multimedia messaging service.

The multimedia message better known as MMS messaging allows the user to share photos with other compatible MMS users & it is a quick way for the user to share their fun photos with others.
So, if we are to sum it up, the Samsung Armani phone comes with a well balanced set of features, be they not all exactly high-end. It's got a really refined design, it's compact, and there's that hard to resist aura of exclusivity about it. However, being so heavily underpowered and seriously overpriced, it will have a hard time turning into a success
