The only time I ever saw one of these was around my neighborhood. A Russian girl in big boots and this weird jacket had one and she was trying to buy stamps at the post office—definitely a far cry from the runway models and glitterati that Nokia had in mind. Paris Hilton never buys stamps!

However, it is a sexy little phone. The major issue is the lack of keypad, which makes the SMS lover in us angry. Instead it uses a dial control to pick out numbers and letters, a decidedly tedious task.

Will this phone take off? Probably not. But it's nice to see Nokia is pushing things forward a bit.
