General Comments
Overall I like the Nokia 7280 but would not keep it for more than a year. The mirror has come in very handy and friends are impressed. It has saved me money on texts messages because of the difficulty of writing them without a keypad. However, if I want to write a quick message it does take some time because the search facility for finding names is not user friendly.
The phone has also started freezing and refreshing itself for no reason. It does not take long and is just inconvenient.
Finally my last problem is that it changes its ringtone and the volume of the ring for no reason, this is beginning to be a pain because sometimes it does not ring at all. Have considered sending it back under manufacturer's warranty.
I would recommend this phone but only if you are not a big text message sender and you are prepared to put up with the odd teething problem.
