The
Nokia 7020 is a low-cost fashion phone with a built-in
accelerometer which allows "tap control" of various applications.
With an unsubsidised pre-tax price of about €90, the 7020 attempts
to introduce a bit of style to budget devices.
This is a fairly straightforward clamshell phone
- there's a 2.2" 240 x 320 pixel display, basic 2 megapixel
camera, microSD expandable memory, Bluetooth, Ovi integration, a
multimedia player, web browser and an FM radio. Talktime on
the Nokia 7020 is about 4.5 hours with up to 15 days standby time.
In fact, there's not much going on here that we
haven't seen many times before.. apart from the accelerometer functions
that is. Tapping on the phone can bring up information, alerts or
change the external display. It's not exactly groundbreaking stuff,
but for less than one hundred euro it's not bad.
The standard sales package includes a stereo wired
headset, battery, charger and that's about it. If you want a microSD
card then you will need to buy one separately. The 7020 also uses
the old-style 2.5mm audio connector, so you can't use it with standard
headsets.
Nokia say that the 7020 should be available in Graphite,
Hot Pink, Silver and Blue. If you want a 7020 then you will need
to wait a little while - Nokia say that the phone is due out in
Q4 2009, which does seem like a long time to wait.
