Nokia 7020 Review: A Simple and Practical Mobile Phone

Nokia is a company that has been long recognized for producing mobile phones that have solid technological features. And they are always making waves in the arena of affordable mobile phones that still hold some practical entertainment features. Take for example, the Nokia 7020 mobile phone – a pretty cute unit that is both easy and fun to use. It is an indispensable gadget for those who are on a budget and don’t want a complicate smart phone.

This phone has a stylish look due to its external hidden screen and its compact design that would definitely turn to be something the ladies love. The Nokia 7020 clamshell is a fashion phone available in four color versions including Graphite, Hot Pink, Silver and Blue, which make it look very charming and appealing. Nokia 7020 can easily slip into your pockets with dimensions of 91.2 x 46.7 x 17.3 mm when it is in closed position and it weighs approximately 86.2 g which includes its fitted battery. Generally, it is a lightweight handset for carrying purpose.

The Nokia 7020 sports a beautiful 2.2 inch color screen on the opened section of the phone that offers incomparable brightness with resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. Of course, it looks smaller compared with those wide screen mobiles. But it comes with a 1.36 inch external screen that has a subtle icon display. Therefore, the user can enjoy using a tap to activate control to view the external clock, since a gentle tap of the screen will activate this display in an instant. The external display features a special “stardust” animation which plays up every time call comes in and it will light up to show you time and important information about your cell phone when tapping the cover twice. Below the internal screen, there is a user friendly, well spaced out keypad for inputting numbers and text, complete with a smooth navigation control.
Just as mentioned above, the Nokia 7020 is the ideal phone for those who like a simple interface in composing and sending text messages. SMS, MMS and emails are all supported and you can get in touch with your contacts very effectively. The Nokia 7020 mobile phone also comes with its own host of entertainment enhancements, such as the music player which is able to support MP3, Midi, WMA and AAC formats. The phone has a 2-megapixel camera with a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels which allows users to capture fun moments in their day as a still photo or even as a video clip.
It also comes with 45 MB of internal memory as your store space. But if you find yourself in need of more space, you can simply get up to a 16 GB microSD card. Data transfer is done by the USB connectivity and Bluetooth. And you can also enjoy high speed data transfer rate as this handset supports GPRS & EDGE technology.
When it comes to the battery, the Nokia 7020 packs in a whopping 20 hours worth of music playing, up to 4 and a half hours of talk time, as well as 360 hours of standby time. It can’t be denied that these are very good numbers for battery life especially considering the small and thin size of this phone.

Indeed, this is one fun and good-looking mobile phone that reminds us that mobile phones are primarily for getting in touch and also for being great portable entertainment as well. It is a must-have phone for anyone looking for a phone without complex features.
