Nokia 7260 mobile phone

The Nokia 7260 was one of three fashion phones released together by Nokia brand in 2004.[1][2] The other phones released with the Nokia 7260, were seemingly the Nokia 7270, and the Nokia 7280.[3] The design of these phones are considered by some to represent a continuation of the "fashion phones" theme which was seemingly popular at the time.[4] "Fashion" centric mobile phones, is a term associated with a supposed trend that Nokia, in particular, as well as other mobile phone sellers/designers, are argued to have elaborated upon, through the design of their associated products, during said time period (late 1990s to ~2010).[5][6][7] The phone was notable for the black and silver,[8] and or white and silver[9](depending on specific sub-model) coloration motif that arguably sort of defined the aesthetic of said line of phones. The design of the phone is also arguably notable for the relatively unusual shape of the case/body of the phone. It is worth noting perhaps, however, that though the Nokia 7260's case/body shape was arguably somewhat unique, it was not as unusual as that of some similar phones in said line of phones, for ex., that of the Nokia 7280.[10] The Nokia 7260 is no longer being actively produced by Nokia, etc., and hence is considered to be "discontinued"[11] at time of writing (2023). Nonetheless, copies of the phone's associated "user manual" can still be found, in digital format, on, for example, the internet.[12]

The Nokia 7260's associated technical specifications include mention of a 128x128 pixel screen, as well as Tri-band GSM connectivity capability. The technical specifications regarding the Nokia 7260 also would suggest that it had a 760 mAh battery, and also included, among said specifications, is mention of the phone's associated EDGE data processing capability. The phone was also seemingly equipped in such a way so as to facilitate FM radio type functionality[13]
