I got 7270 as a gift from my uncle..
I was not at all comfortable with the idea of having a a foldable handset , solely because of my T-Shirt+jean dress code.
I used the set for almost 4 months. for the sake of hand set I even changed my dress code. I shifted to shirts with pocket . hmmmmm
7270 withstood my mishandling for almost 3 months, after, its fabric cover became loose( one of the buttons which held de cover gave away)
So I too recognised tat it wil fit my dads pocket more than mine.
now my dad is using it and is very comfortable with its compactness, big display, neat keypads, (he seldom uses de cam in it)
7270 would ve been fine if it had bluetooth feature.(as almost all my friends had bluetooth). memory card facility is also desirable.
the phone got stunning speakerphone clarity and Display is top in the class.
as its a 40 series phone, experiments cant be done with it.
but it is quiet fast in operation.
Camera is not tat good to say about.
over all its a phone suitable 4 a professional who use his cellphone for just making calls, but wants to have other features like cam, song playback, video playback etc .. simply to tell about.
NB- 7270 needs to be cared a bit.
