Nokia's new Prisms a juxtaposition of everything

Damian Koh | Aug 07, 2007

The Finnish company's at it again. This time, its contribution to the mobile phone cause is a pair of geometrically similar Prisms.

We got cross-eyed just looking at the pictures of the Prisms and reading the press release made it worse. Whoever wrote it punctuated the release with just about every adjective known to flatter a phone.

We'll spare you the hype, so here's the gist. The triband 7500 Prism comes with a 2-megapixel camera (with flash), microSD expansion slot, Bluetooth, FM radio and is based on the Series40 platform. Its sibling, the 7900 Prism, is equipped with 3G connectivity, 1GB of onboard memory and a whole suit of fancy light work such as a "living wallpaper" that changes throughout the day and a choice of 49 illumination colors. That sounds a lot like the company's own 8600 Luna and the Sony Ericsson S500i.

According to the global press release, the 7900 Prism and 7500 Prism are expected out this quarter for an estimated 400 euros and 210 euros, respectively.
