Building upon the last year's L'Amour Collection,Nokia has unveiled three new mobile phones.
ESATO NEWS
From the elegantly iconic Nokia 7390, Nokia's first 3G fashion phone, to the truly desirable Nokia 7373 and the timeless Nokia 7360, each model from the latest L'Amour Collection draws its design inspiration from tribal art and ethnic decoration. The result - a beautifully designed, intelligently considered and exceptionally crafted range of mobile phones, in a palate of colours and textures to meet every desire.
Finding inspiration in the faded luxury of grand architecture, the models from the L'Amour Collection will be appreciated as much for their exotic design as well as their impressive sophisticated set of features. Forms remain modern, round and pure. An earthy palate of colour and traditional materials, updates the bohemian feel of the earlier collection. Aspects of embroidery, 3D appliqué, ceramic tiling and other traditional decoration are refined and modernised through a new craftsmanship - resulting in beautifully embossed leather finishes and graphics which are sublime yet eclectic. Further unexpected combinations enhance the splendour of the L'Amour Collection, as does the mix of traditional handcrafts with cutting edge technology. The collection espouses a 'nouveau-ethnic' feel - the muted tonality and bleached colour reflecting fashion's new and sophisticated way of incorporating decoration.
Nokia 7390: Professional elegance with a modern edge
This sleek, elegant fold phone, consummately blends precision technology with groundbreaking design. As Nokia's first 3G fashion phone, the Nokia 7390 combines exquisite materials and design innovation within a fully featured phone. The 3 megapixel camera and WCDMA high-speed connectivity is subtly hidden within ceramic-inspired shell and leather panels. Ideal for a 24/7 lifestyle, the Nokia 7390 is available in two colours, a Bronze Black version provides a masculine feel, echoing cigar parlours and oak-panelled studies of a by-gone era. The Powder Pink model is a daring combination of ceramic white and powder pink, a colour palate currently found on fashion catwalks and furniture fairs.
The estimated retail price of the Nokia 7390 is expected to be approximately EUR 450, excluding taxes and subsidies.
Nokia 7373: Metropolitan style, fluid form
Ethnic patterns and a compact swivel design gives the Nokia 7373 its fresh look and perfect grip. Elaborate tribal markings provide a unique point for contemporary design interpretation, where form and decoration are married seamlessly together. This results in finely tooled surfaces, exquisite detail, embossed finishing and further decoration when the mobile phone is opened, proving that the Nokia 7373 is a veritable treasure chest of reference and culture.
The Nokia 7373 is available in Bronze black, Powder Pink and Black Chrome, with a wide array of complementary graphical themes. The estimated retail price of the Nokia 7373 is expected to be approximately EUR 350, excluding taxes and subsidies.
Nokia 7360: Subtly styled, elegantly compact
The Nokia 7360 is an elegant and compact mobile phone, subtly styled with accents inspired by metal, leather and transparent surfaces. The innovative use of materials gives this mobile phone its unique character, which evokes modern design classics. A tactile inlayed leather effect gently wraps around the phone, meeting smooth ceramic-inspired surfaces and glistening metallic details. The Nokia 7360 comes in two colour options. A chrome and black original that is strong, streamlined and reliable. The Powder Pink girlish, charming and undoubtedly the phone that Lewis Carroll's Alice would have used had she needed to make a call from Wonderland.
The estimated retail price of the Nokia 7360 is expected to be approximately EUR 200, excluding taxes and subsidies.
The renewed L'Amour Collection is a universal journey of romance, a fusion of technology with traditional craft and a union of ancient art with modern communication. Each model from the L'Amour Collection is expected to begin shipping this fall.

It would have been great if they had the better camera on the swivel phone. Flip phones are becoming old IMO. Also, which one of those come with memory slot?
Posted by BobaFett
the 1.3 mp cam is actually not that bad, imo far better then any se one. i do liked the pic i made with 6680, thses got the same cam

OMG and nokia 7390 has very good connectivity GPRS,3G,EDGE,HSCSD,IrDa,BT
Posted by axxxr
but shame they are UGLY as ugly can get!
But really is this the best Nokia can do?..dress up a failing line of phones with Pink colours and try to re-hash them!
Posted by amnesia
funny thing is, it looks even MORE plastic-y and it's supposed to be the fashion line.
Posted by axxxr
Nokia needs to sack the guy who designed these!

The ideal upgrade would be to the art deco phones. The L'Amour collection is pretty pants.

pinkish and feminine, liked the 7280's design better,

Well, this series already looked like cheap toys, in pink it's even worse. As they've never been a success, they must have thought a pink version would bring new buyers. I suppose, they're right about that: they can sell them to 12-year old girls now!

sorry to bring up an old thread but I just got one of these 7390 for my daughter, in blushed pink, and it seems like a very good phone.
She had an SE Z520 before but its got some fault that causes it to work intermittedly, and she really wanted a flip phone again and though I suggested W710 and Z610 etc the specs just didn't match this and the screen on the outside of this 7390 is one of the best external screens on a flip that I have seen. You can control camera, radio and music from the outside too, including most of the settings.
very impressed so far!

yeah i used the 7373 and 7390. they look wonderful and work flawlessly.
Posted by masseur
actually having only used the N95 recently I was surprised to find the option for active standby so their trying to make S40 look like S60, but it works quite well so my daughter will be happy I'm sure... and the camera takes great pics!
Posted by BobaFett
i was really surprised, that it came with a 3 mp cam
Posted by masseur
...and with autofocus too!

I wanted one of those before upgarding however it wasn't available so i dived into getting the K8.. it's a really nice looking mobile btw..
my mate has a 7373 haven'y really looked at the menus or nothing but it does look nice
Posted by masseur
I checked out the 7373 for my daughter but the spec is quite a bit lower for much the same price which is why I chose the 7390.
Unfortunately the pink one seems more widely available but she preferred the bronze/black one as she's going through a bit of a goth period at the mo (she's 15!)
Posted by Miss UK
I do like the pink 1,
infact the case ive just bought for my N95 looks alot like these L'Amour phones
what is the menu like on them anyway?
is it like a 6280 for example or 6230i?
the 7373 has less features but it is nice it comes with some snazzy bits like a carry protector case in pink
Posted by masseur
I don't know the models you mention but the menu is similar to that of N95 and even has the active standby
btw, I also noted in another thread that you paid £15 from cpw for your case but I got one exactly the same (with the sort of floral design and the beads etc) yesterday direct from the nokia online shop for £5 + postage (I got the white one) its designed specifically for the l'amour collection, so I suggest you never buy accessories from cpw!
Posted by Miss UK
Ouch thats the same case
was there a delivery charge on that?
im being evicted so i needed a case prompt :-0
btw never heard of a 6230i? nor a 6280 my word!
then again
this and that for you mainley huh
can you still change logos on Nokias?
or with thses newer models it's not possible anymore
btw good choice of handset for your daughter you better hope she doesn't want your N95 next
Posted by fatreg
No you can't change the logos on Nokias anymore Miss UK...
@ Big M.... a goth eh? you sure your daughter likes to be called that? is she not just "alternative" (not that it is very alternative these days, every bloody 15 year old on this planet wants to be "different") but yeah, I'm sure she would hate to be called goth!
