The Nokia N8 has been taking up plenty of our time of late but with the arrival of the super-messenger that is the Nokia E7 allegiances are started to be tested. We know they have a similar design DNA but how much do the Nokia N8 and Nokia E7 differ? Find out as we slap them both in front of the camera for you to find out.
The Nokia N8 was the first major Symbian^3 smartphone and with its 12-Megapixel camera it is very much the king of the roost in terms of photo tech. However, the Nokia E7 with its larger screen and dedicated QWERTY keyboard isn't easy to ignore. Here we look at the major differences of the two killer smartphones before we letting you feast your eyes on our photo gallery.
Nokia E7
The Nokia E7 comes with a 4-inch touchscreen display, which is the biggest such screen on any Nokia smartphone to-date. The fact the AMOLED screen also comes with Nokia ClearBlack Display (CBD) technology means it's the sharpest image whether you're hiding away in doors or using the Nokia E7 out side.
When it comes to other features, you'll find 16GB of internal memory but no microSD card slot but there is HDMI for hooking up to your HD TV. That's great, as it means you'll be able to make the most of the 720p video recording as well as the 8-Megapixel camera with dual-LED Flash. So, while it may not have the same multimedia chops as the Nokia N8, this smartphone is more than capable of looking after itself. Check out the full Nokia E7 hands-on preview

OK, we have to admit we've kind of fallen for the 4-inch screen on the Nokia E7 but that's not to casually dismiss the 3.5-inch variant on the Nokia N8. It's big, bright and is easy to use. It also makes an amazing viewfinder for the 12-Megapixel camera, as well as using with the built-in GPS receiver. Check out the Nokia N8 Review Roundup
Of course, when you slide open the QWERTY keyboard on the Nokia E7 it's something of a game changer as suddenly texting and firing off lengthy emails gives the Nokia E7 the edge over the Nokia N8. Also this in a body that isn't that much bigger (as the images below attest to).
Whether you're opting for the Nokia E7 or the Nokia N8 you'll find they've been finely crafted to suit their preferred user in mind – none of this 'one size fits all' and let's see what we can get away with leaving out that some others out there opt for.
