Get ‘flippy’ with the Nokia 2720 flip phone. It’s cheap, but has the stylish, modern appearance reminiscent of a contemporary sports car. It shines, it’s glossy; the slightly vain will try to see themselves in its mirror-like handset coating. Just like the fold-up convertible roof hidden in the depths of your car, the Nokia 2720 has its hidden second screen that lights up to tell you when someone is calling or has sent you a message.

You don’t need to flip open this flip phone to answer a phone call. Get to your screen display with one nonchalant tap on the volume rocker button. Light as a feather at just 90 grams, the Nokia 2720 easily falls into your pocket with its slender design.

Now let’s get to the flipping. When flipped open, the durable outer cover exposes a bright 1.8-inch display with sexy curved keypad, of which has quite large, flat buttons for the quick text message-typing master.

Unlike the sports car, the Nokia 2720 won’t bust the bank, and you won’t need to take an advanced driving course to make it work. This mobile phone is simple to use, with comfortable D-pad and intuitive menus helping you to open applications with ease.    

The 1.3 Megapixel camera has a full screen viewfinder, plus a video capture function to suit all of your photographic and moving image needs. Your images can be sent to family and buddies straight away with multimedia messages (MMS), or because Bluetooth 2.0 is supported, via media files between yours and other enabled devices.

As far as communication goes the 2720 has got it all covered, with emails, instant message chats, texts and multimedia messages to keep the people you know ‘in the know’. GPRS internet means you can both send and receive emails with attachments.

To round it off the Nokia 2720 comes with a digital music player, stereo FM radio and over 390 hours of standby time. This is a truly great mobile phone for those who want to live like royalty, but who don’t have bottomless pockets.
