The Nokia E7 is the modern-day Nokia communicator, so when the Executive Vice President of Mobile Solutions at Nokia – Anssi Vanjoki – pointed out that “it’s BIG”, we were a little concerned that it would be a bit of a brick. No such thing, however, as it’s one of the neatest smartphones we’ve seen to date. Join us after the break to find out all about it...
In the hand, the Nokia E7 feels remarkably similar to the Nokia N8, with which it shares its styling. Here, however, there’s a slide and tilting display as well, leaving a large QWERTY keyboard below.
The overall functionality is shared with the Nokia N97 Mini – which the slide and tilting keyboard is similar to. The touchscreen offers great usability when you’re just sending text messages – with the onscreen keyboard switching between T9 text prediction when in portrait mode, and full QWERTY when in landscape.
As with the N97 Mini, the Nokia E7 also offers excellent usability when you’re sending emails, and Nokia claims its device is a full mobile office. A tie up with Microsoft even means you’ll be able to edit Powerpoint files on the move.
So far, so good then. We’ll be bringing you a more in-depth look at the Nokia E7 later this week, but in the meantime check out our hand-on photo gallery below:
