I have always had Nokia mobile phones, I like their usability. I got the Nokia 7500 prism as my upgrade, its sleek, so easy to use, its feels as good as it looks, it works like a Nokia phone should do, wonderfully, I love this phone.

Got this phone second hand & I am impressed with the features, but agree the battery life is not great, if it's any help the USB lead & charger from my Sony PSP seems to work OK with my lap top. Not sure it would take much to damage it, but it looks the part.

This is without doubt the best phone I have ever owned, the battery life is great, the music quality is great, camera is good too, it will take something magic to make me change my phone.

This phone is great. I wasn't too keen on the design at first but now I love it.

I have had it since January & have started to have some problems with it, the screen often freezes & I have to take out the battery. Also scratches happen really easily & are really noticeable.

I dropped my 7500 the other day & the bottom of the phone has come off & it is really hard to press the star key what is unlock. The battery life is fine for me as I do charge it most days. I am returning this phone because of the faults but I am definitely getting a new one as it is on contract.

Just got this phone today! Very funky, buttons take a bit of getting used to though. Great music player. Anyone who says this phone isn't LOUD must be deaf! It's the LOUDEST phone I have had so far. I definitely recommend this phone to anyone who wants to make a bold fashion statement & wants to stand out from the crowd.

I just got this phone about a week ago. It's FANTASTIC! This phone has many great features, a retro design, & all my friends want it. A perfect phone like this is bound to have some flaws, & the flaws I have noticed were that the battery life was disappointing, & the keypad buttons are a little too close together. Other than that, I recommend everybody interested in buying a cool looking phone with even cooler features to buy this product!

I loved it, I had no trouble using it, I wanted a loud phone, but it isn't. I will keep it as it looks good.

Have owned a few phones in my time & I have to say this is the best one yet, it has a fantastic camera with digit zoom & a built in flash. The two not so good things is the memory card in situated under the battery, anyone that hasn't got an UBS cable may find this a bit of a bind, but they are available from good computer outlets & are not that expensive. Would be good though if one came with the phone. The other thing is to change the fascia on the phone you also need a special screwdriver (M6), I believe it is, try changing it without & you are in danger of breaking the fascia, but again they are easily purchased from a good tool shop. On the whole very pleased with it & I have recommended it to some friends.

Don't buy this phone. After a week the headphones break. The buttons fall off. The case cracks way too easily. It's rubbish. Battery life is terrible.

This phone is the best ever! BUY IT. The feature are amazing, memory fantastic & its gorgeously stunning.

But where do you get a USB from?

Reviewer: Dale - UK
Date: 12th Jan 2008

Is there any way that the battery life in this phone can last longer because I like to listen music & I have also been looking at the Nokia 3110 classic because of its battery life & its features but I like the look of the 7500 prism can I not just put the battery from the 3110 into the 7500 please help!

Reviewer: Holly - UK
Date: 11th Jan 2008

I don't know why people are complaining about the battery life.
I charge mine every 3 days & I make a lot of calls & listen to music for a long time each day & through all of that the lowest my battery gets to after 3 days is just half.

The camera quality is very good as well. It is only grainy when you use it in poor light & have the flash switched off.

There is nothing about this phone that makes me say to myself, oh I wish my phone had the features of so & so phone.

It has everything you need for a personal use based phone. Definitely recommend!

Great phone.

Reviewer: Craig - UK
Date: 3rd Jan 2008

Great little phone, joystick a bit fiddly, same features basically as the 6300 got 7500 as the wife has 6300, toss up between the two really. The 6300 edges it, as it's a better build quality. Key pad layout, funky design not to bad to use though, it will be dust trap in time as spaces between the diamond keys, are larger than a normal layout.

Overall for me 7 out of 10, for 7500, got it free on contract, would I pay for yep if it was around 70 GBP mark, any higher no, would get the 6300 instead as the build quality on that's top notch compared to 7500 with its shiny plastic case. & the software's basically the same on both models.

Reviewer: Emma - UK

I have had this phone for a month & I really like it.

The only issue I have with it is sometimes the joystick action for scrolling can be annoying & not do what is supposed to as it's small. Apart from that it's a good phone.

This mobile has great look. Have to say. Right size to have in your pocket, but still the usability is not so good & the battery life is poor other than this, the mobile is great to use.

Reviewer: Steve - Warrington, UK
Date: 13th Dec 2007

Bought this phone from Vodafone & find it very good. Have a 6300 for work, but this is just a bit more funky! In truth I got a Sony Ericsson W910i at first, but when it was delivered I was horrified to find the camera does not even zoom, trip back in time or what!

So settled for old faithful Nokia! Should have known better than to stray in the first place!

Great Phone, really easy to use & it looks great. The battery life is quite bad & the camera is a bit grainy. However these are the only faults I can find for it so far.

---

Reviewer: Liam - Manchester, UK
Date: 9th Dec 2007

Stunning design & has loads of features, comes with some more features than the 7900 version e.g. FM radio, plastic personalisation thingy etc. But lacks a couple of features from the 7900 e.g. 3G, video calling.

The keys can be quite difficult to press but the battery is quite good I don't know what everyone is complaining about, as long as you don't make a lot of calls & listen to music for a long time it should last for 3 or 4 days.

Reviewer: Pk Garg - Delhi, India

Nokia India is incompetent to render proper service to its clients. Technical experts sitting at front desks of Nokia care in Delhi are incompetent to solve customer's problems. They are expert only in convincing & making the innocent clients fool. There is not even a single Nokia care centre in Delhi that is equipped with even a single knowledgeable staff sitting at front desk. Just spare a day & stand outside any Nokia CARE centre & enquire from each client coming out of it if he or she was satisfied & it would emerge that not a single customer was satisfied. Each of these centre must be extracting between Rs. 30, 000 to 50, 000/- daily by making the innocent customers fool. I am narrating my experiences with Nokia.

Firstly, I purchased E-50 Nokia on 30th June 2007, the very first day I found that there is some problem with the new set as its loudspeakers got activated some time at its own (when a call was on) & during that particular call then the call gets hanged & you cannot come out of it until you switch off the phone. The Nokia repaired it at their Noida set up through Nokia care. But the problem still persisted. Though I got so many calls from Nokia care but they could not get the faulty set repair. I could sense that there was design problem therefore, I had to sold that unit in half price within a month period.

I considered that there was some design problem with E-50 therefore, then I Purchased a New Prism Nokia 7500 with IMEI no. 356440013311699. There were a lot of problems in the new set. In fact I could now judge that Nokia's business has increased so much in India that they are not able to keep up with the quality control. In Delhi, Nokia is making huge money but is not able to provide after sales service. Though on making complaints I got calls from Nokia but to my surprise no one there was able to rectify my problems. In fact persons at Nokia care do not have even basic knowledge. They agreed to change my phone & supplied me another Prism 7500 (IMEI no. 356 4400 125 71 665). But to my horror, new set was having more problems than the earlier one. I think they replaced my phone with another faulty phone. I requested them to return my old set that was having lesser problems than the new set. It is my humble appeal to general public to not to purchase either E50 or Prism 7500. As it seems that both these models have design problems.

Now I don't know, in front of whom I should cry. As on date I am perturbed with one major problem in my set (Prism 7500) that neither it retains the contents of the messages I send nor It shows the delivery report. I am always confused if the message is sent or not. Nokia care could not set this problem right. Is there anyone who can help me?

Well I bought Nokia 7500 prism, one month ago. It's a good phone, but it should come with a data cable or driver & PC suite CD.

Hi everyone. People do like to moan on about the faults with their phones so I thought I would try to be positive in my review & comments.

My 7500 prism is a great looking phone & it makes my friends look at it & admire its unique design, I really love the phone & it does everything I want it to do.

Answer for Annabelle in the UK, yes it does have Bluetooth, I hope that helps you buy this phone.

The battery is not that great but I just charge it frequently to avoid it getting to low.

Come on everyone it is nearly that wonderful time of year full of Christmas cheer, love your phones for Christmas.

Looks Amazing! I am hopefully going to get it for Xmas, but it looks like it doesn't have the best features. But I can't complain. Don't have it so I don't know if it has great usability, but from what the other reviews say it looks like it's got really good usability. I can't wait to get it. If I do that is!

Reviewer: Anne - London, UK

I recently got this phone & think it looks great & seems to have bags of useful features on it, but it comes without a USB cable! My existing cable from my previous Nokia doesn't fit it & so I can't see any way to be able to transfer music or picture files from my PC to my phone, rendering it pretty useless! Any ideas?

Vodafone told me it just doesn't come with one & there's no sign of any compatible cable on the entire Nokia site, so I am thinking I am going to have to send it back & soon! All suggestions welcome.

I am one of the people that actually does like the phone's design, it also has nice features with all you may need from the phone.

But battery life is weak, if I even dare listen to the music I have to charge it EVERY day. This IS a problem, imagine going somewhere for the weekend. Either don't talk, or expect to charge the phone on Saturday. My ugly 5 year old Sony had to be charged every second day - after 5 years of usage.

I am actually considering returning the phone on that ground.

Looks good. Easy enough to use. Battery life is terrible. Got it SIM free online as my girlfriend pestered me for my 6300. I am going to hang on to it till I am due an upgrade.

I purchased newly introduced Prism-7500model of Nokia on 7/10/2007. Till today I.e. On 17/10/207, I have noticed the following problems with it.

1. I do S.M.S, out of ten SMS only 5/6 are sent by it. In 4/5 cases, after its sending, these are not even traceable either in sent folder nor drafts folder or any other folder & receivers also confirms that they had not received any SMS. Nor any delivery report is there. The whole message goes missing.

2. Speed dials behave very unpredictable. If I push/dial no.3 digit, telephone number fed at 6 no. Starts dialing. If digit 6 is dialed/pushed the number fed at 9 or 2 would be dialed. However, please note that it makes mistake only during first attempt & does not repeat the mistake at second time, if the same number is pushed again.

3. If a call is on, & in between some call comes. After the call is finished, the miss call number would not be there on the screen. If you are too busy in talking, the person calling in between get annoyed if he does not get a call back. & I am unable to call him as I never knew that in between there was some call.

Please solve my problem at the earliest.

LOL this is the ugliest phone I have ever seen. But that is my opinion, my e840 is much nicer looking, but no way a better performer.

Hello All - I am getting this phone as soon as I find a good deal on Pay As You Go, I think it is truly gorgeous & will be proud to show it to my work friends. I like phones that look different & the 7500 PRISM is certainly different. I am not sure about how reliable it is or how good the features are so I only gave it an average rating for the time being until I get my hands on it I can't really give a fair judgement, but it does look & sound perfect for all my mobile phone needs, I am very excited, can't wait for it to be release on PAYG.

I had bought this phone the day it was released in the markets & I have to say that this phone has not caused any type of trouble but has helped me. The features in the phone are outclass, the camera quality is excellent along with its powerful torch, do buy this phone it is attractive & useful.

Reviewer: Steve-o - UK

This is an excellent small & light Nokia. Great music player which supports A2DP (stereo Bluetooth) & expandable memory (it is supplied with a 521MB card).

You can change the colour edging round the sides & three different colours are supplied in the box (pink, green & blue).

It has a newer version of the S40 operating system with some nice tweaks in messaging. Its speaker sounds good for ringtones & the camera is good enough for quick snaps.

The only downside is that it has a fairly small battery. If you make a lot of calls you will need to charge it every day.

I make or receive around 15 minutes of calls, around 50 texts & 30 minutes of music per day & the battery lasts 2 to 3 days. But as long as it lasts a day then it's fine by me.

It's also good value for money, you can find it SIM free online for around £150.
