Pros: Very stylish, great features & is the ideal fashion accessory!
Cons: Headset disconnects & screen de-lightens!
The Bottom Line: I would buy it if you are looking for a new MMS phone and had previously owned a Nokia before. Otherwise try another brand and model.

| jwragg's Full Review: Nokia 7210 GSM / EGSM Cellular Phone |
When i first heard about Nokia bringing their latest colour screen phone out, i thought it would be the size of the previous one, the 7650. But how wrong was i?!
The phone is just slightly wider by 2cm than the 8310, is 9cm longer too and it weighs 1kg less than the 8310. It still feels 'sheak' and small enough that you'll be proud to pull it out of your pocket.
It is packed with all the latest features you would expect for a MMS phone, minus a built-in camera which is now available separately. The colour screen takes some getting use to because of the change from a black dot-pixel screen.
The display is 128x128 and can hold a massive range of colours; 4096. And it is brilliant for txting as it can show a huge 8 lines. The display is fully adjustable so you can dim down or brighten the screen.
The memory on the phone allows you to store 300 names and numbers although this is minus your simcard allowance. Mine increases it to allow 450 names and numbers. You can also store 150 txt msgs, MMS msgs, images & ringtones.
It also has vibrate alert.
You can use the calendar with to-do list too.
The best part though, for them long journeys, is the ability to play Java games. Java is a technology used on the internet and has now came to phones to offer excellent games compared to the old games like snake. The games preinstalled are above average but nothing special as snake once was.
It also has a build in radio too for them walks to school and college to keep you entertained.
The phone is also tri-band with auto switching, which basically means you can take it around the world and it will still work.
Also the phone allows you to change its front and back fascias. The designs vary but the official Nokia ones are very stylish; mainly because this is the fashion phone brought out for the fashion shows.
All in all, the phone is excellent for the person upgrading from the old dot-matrix phones. Plus it will be a breeze for people who previously owned Nokias to get use to the phone because its more or less the same layout.
Poorly though, i believe Nokia rushed the phone out for the people who didn't like the bulkiness of the 7650. Sometimes the screen goes duller at no command and you can't re-adjust it via brightness control. The only way to solve it is by turning the phone off then on or leaving it until it changes back itself.
Also when using the hands-free\radio earphones, it can easily pop out from the phone at the bottom and when you plug it back in, the sound is much quieter with the only way to solve it is to turn off the radio then back on again.
One last fault is the vibrate alert is much louder than the ringtones itself at the highest sound level.
