I had the 7600 too, and enjoyed the “lemon” form factor!
But it certainly wasn’t a cheap phone when it launched. The typical Nokia cost around $150. This was the high-end model of Nokia’s feature phone range, and they highlighted it in ads with fashion brands. (The fashion touch was a leather strap you could attach to the lemon phone’s corner.)
The 7600 did include technical innovation: it was the first Nokia model ever to include 3G, and IIRC it was also the first European phone to shoot video (stamp-sized 144p clips).
