With its one of a kind baton shaped design and high gloss finish, the Nokia 7280 has quickly become the darling of the celebrity set with a number of stars carrying the sexy new phone down the red carpet at the 77th Annual Academy Awards last month. The phone was also featured in Jennifer Lopez's "Get Right" video as well as Usher's Mini Movie during Fox's New Years Eve Special.

Instead of the traditional keypad, the Nokia 7280 features a round navigation pad. Calls are answered and ended via the active slide and the LCD screen becomes a mirror when the phone is not in use. The phone is feature rich with convenient voice dialing, a VGA camera, and a video player.
