What it is Filled
The Nokia 7370 is a Nokia fashion-oriented GSM mobile phone model with a swivelling body that exposes a physical numeric keypad, introduced in 2005 as part of the L'Amour Collection.
In scope
- Evidence distinguishing Nokia 7370 from visually similar Nokia models and replacement housings.
- Swivel mechanism, concealed keypad and operation across open and closed positions.
- Model-specific power, accessory and cellular-service compatibility.
- Assessment of calling, messaging, local content and user-interface functions.
- Condition, repairability and preservation requirements for surviving handsets.
Out of scope
- The entire Nokia handset range or associated fashion collection.
- Separate product models such as Nokia 7373.
- Ownership, location and service history of an individual handset as independent catalogue entities.
- Cellular-network infrastructure, subscriptions and operator policies.
- Battery chemistry, Bluetooth and cellular standards as independently modelled technologies.
- The personal communications and media stored on a handset.
Why it exists Filled
Enable an agent to recognise the Nokia 7370 product model, assess evidence about a handset's condition and compatibility, and select appropriate operation, preservation or repair actions.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Require a Nokia 7370 model marking corroborated by internal identification or documentation; exterior resemblance alone is insufficient.
- Check for an upper section that swivels to expose the keypad, rather than a sliding or clamshell opening.
- Check the documented 180-degree opening movement and reverse-path closure without forcing the mechanism; Nokia warns against rotation beyond 180 degrees. Source: [Nokia 7370 User Guide](https://nds1.webapps.microsoft.com/phones/files/guides/Nokia_7370_UG_en.pdf).
- Resolve possible confusion with Nokia 7373 through model identification and documented hardware differences, rather than decorative finish alone.
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not

- Wiping a handset that may still hold someone's data.
May
- Identify this swivel-body fashion handset model from its label and form.
