    📰 Why this phone matters: A centerpiece for any top-tier Nokia collection, this Nokia 7280 JINX Prototype represents the earliest incarnation of one of the most iconic fashion phones ever created. Designed as part of the luxurious L’Amour Collection, the 7280 redefined mobile aesthetics with its lipstick-inspired form factor, mirror-black finish, and rotating Navi-Spinner, earning TIME Magazine’s “Gadget of the Year” distinction.

    This prototype predates the commercial release, carrying the internal codename JINX and the early F4 hardware build, along with restricted-use labels such as “PROPERTY OF NOKIA” and a prototype IMEI range exclusive to engineering units. These details confirm its use in internal validation, UI testing, radio calibration, and industrial design approvals.

    Pristine, original, and fully authentic, this piece represents the raw development phase of a phone that shaped Nokia’s luxury image in the mid-2000s.
    A true collector’s artefact.

The out of the box fascia of my review sample was deep blue. A ‘candy pink’ Xpress-On cover was provided. Don’t go there. Choose the ‘wasabi green’ bundle instead.

    📅 Release Year: 2005 | 💰 Release Price: ~500 €

    📊 Units Sold: ~400k

    📰 Why this phone matters: The Nokia 7380 fashion phone was released in 2005, as part of the “L’Amour Collection”, along with the 7360, 7370, 7373 and 7390. The 7380 was designed at Nokia’s Design Center in California, led by Miki Mehandjiysky. What distinguishes this phone from others is its sensory navigation key which differs greatly from a conventional keypad and functions similarly to the touch-sensitive navigation wheel of the iPod. The display of the phone is another point if interest, measuring approximately 1.5 cm by 7 cm. The screen also becomes highly reflective in power saving mode, so it can double as a mirror.
    The Nokia 7380 has a 2-megapixel camera, up to 52 MB built-in memory (non-expandable), FM radio and Bluetooth and sports Pop-Port connectivity.
    The “L’Amour Collection” was awarded the 2006 IDEA Award (Silver) by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA).

    📊 Units Sold: ~3M

    📰 Why this phone matters: Where the original 7610 was stocky and a bit overdesigned for our tastes, the Supernova is slim and unassuming. The slider design is attractive, but it doesn’t go out of its way to catch your eye. The front face is glossy silver, while the back cover design is up to you. Nokia includes red and black interchangeable covers in the box, though actually prying them off isn’t easy. The handset measures 3.86 inches by 1.89 inches by 0.59 inch, which is thin by Nokia standards. It weighs 3.48 ounces, which is nice for traveling.
