camera, phone - With the introduction of the Nokia 7280 last year, Nokia took a brazen a step forward in the world of fashion phones. With its innovative design--the lipstick shape and the lack of a keypad--the 7280 garnered a lot of attention, even from the celebrity set and the glitterati. And now the Nokia 7380, which is part of Nokia's L'Amour fashion collection, is the successor to the 7280. As with the 7280, the similarly shaped 7380 doesn't look like a phone at all. With its mirror finish and designer motifs inspired by 'craft and ethnic influences,' it certainly looks like it's meant to be a fashion accessory first, a phone second. The phone's circular spinner 'click wheel' controls takes some getting used to and are certainly not for everyone, but they're not too difficult once you get the hang of them. And don't think the phone is just for show--there are quite a few impressive features packed into this tiny device, including Internet access and a megapixel camera. All this comes at a price, though; the Nokia 7380 will sell for roughly $500 to $600, though it may come down if it's picked up by a carrier.
