Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism

The Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism has a seamless diamond-cut design with a crystal center key and continues to highlight the geometric shapes and personalized style of the Prism Collection. Nokia has worked in collaboration with creative designer Frédérique Daubal, which resulted in some unique laser-etched graphic designs, distinctive wallpapers, as well as exclusive accessories. The Crystal Prism features an OLED display with organic, modern digital art wallpapers inspired by Daubal. It’s equipped with a 2 megapixel camera, 3G technology, 1GB internal memory, and a music player with matching headset. Users can personalize the keymat light by choosing from 49 colors.
