Delimmabuyer,
i use this at work quite often for radio (i take my laptop to the hallway and play the 7280 radio on loud speaker). the trick is to get a cheap headset and cut off nearly the entire thing (leaving enough to tie it to the strap). as long as the phone knows that something is plugged into some audio device, you can turn the loud speaker on.
get a bluetooth wireless headset. it's hard to hold the phone between your ear and your shoulder when you need to use 2 hands for something. - alan.do

The Phone is so good looking and devilishely sexy but when it comes to usage at a public place the wheel bites, the easiest way to dial is using voice commands. But dialing with numbers is nasty.
My advice: buy this phone ONLY as an extra, I have a Nokia 9500 as a main, and this 7280 when I am going out and want to show off, especially here in the USA where they still use BLOCKS as mobile phones.

I bought the 7280 about two months ago and have mixed feelings about it. I love the style and the small size but there are problems.. If you like to text don't buy this phone. I don't send that many so the slowness of the wheel doesn't bother me ( and I like gimmicks.) What does bother me is that the wheel lags, the phone freezes and switches off and now, the wheel will only let me scroll to the right on the alphabet.This means I can't jump to the end of it, but have to keep scrolling every time I need a full stop. SO ANNOYING!! It's going back to an engineer tomorrow to have it's software reflashed. If this doesn't solve the problem, no matter how much I love the way it looks, it's going back to Nokia. No way am I paying through the nose for a 'buggy' phone..

Delimmabuyer,
congrats!!! make sure you learn to pull up the 'number entry' option quickly when calling automated services (where press 1 for this, press 2 for that). program as many voice tags and personal shortcuts voice commands as possible. DWD (dialing while driving) needs extra efforts.

jin,
i completely agree with you. i generally believe that companies like nokia have higher QA standards and i EXPECT it. you got a lemon.
sorry to hear about your experience. so far so good with me (knock on keyboard). i'm planning on getting another phone just in case this one craps out since no one will be able to repair it where i am.

Dont see any addresses above.
Not looking to spending a couple thousand on a handset.
Thanks for the idea though! ;)

Jin,
I completely understand where you are coming from. If you have MSN Messenger add me on the above address. It is very frustrating!!!
Regarding phone's 'lasting' - again it is all subject to the technology used. If you want a quality handset buy a Vertu! Nokia 7280 is designed for style not features or quality. It's sad to say but true!

Steven,
I'm just bitter that I spent so much money on a phone that doesn't even live pass 6 months! Especially a Nokia! They usually last a couple years! On top of that, no one will fix it for me. You would expect better quality control from such a manufacturer. Like I said, people with some extra cash to spare, go for it! Let's just all pray that they would have addressed all these gliches by then.
