If you've been holding off for the Nokia E7 before buying a smartphone, then the wait is nearly up, with Nokia's high-end QWERTY handset now available for pre-order. Join us after the break to find out more...
The Nokia E7 follows in the footsteps of the impressive Nokia N97 Mini, offering a big touchscreen display, and an equally large QWERTY keypad.
Unlike its ancestor, however, the Nokia E7 gets an even larger screen – at 4 inches – and the latest Symbian ^3 operating system. It offers a similar anodised aluminium casing to the Nokia N8, and promises class leading build quality.
We can hardly wait, and it looks like we won't have to wait much longer, with retailer Play.com listing a February 1st launch date, and offering the Nokia E7 on pre-order for £490 – considerably less than the £585 Expansys want for the same device.
It could well be the smartest smartphone of the year, offering full office functionality and extra usability only provided by a proper hardware keyboard.
Keep an eye out here for more details – we'll let you know as soon as the Nokia E7 hits the shops.
