It's another week ticked off on the calendar, and a chance for us to look back at the key stories that have been doing the rounds over the past seven days. As usual, there's plenty to cover, so read on after the cut as we reveal the Nokia Nuggets for the week.

Nokia E7 extravaganza

We've been spending plenty of time with the Nokia E7 recently, and this week we took a look at its Symbian^3 software and interface, and wrapped up all our reviews in a single review roundup for added convenience. But we weren't done there – we also had time to reveal our top five accessories for the Nokia E7, as well as the best carry cases. Best of all, Nokia announced a competition where five lucky winners will walk away with a Nokia E7 of their very own.

Symbian's future revealed

Also in the news this week, Nokia clarified the future of Symbian by announcing a strategic collaboration with Accenture, while we took a peek at some of the exciting features we can expect from the first Windows Phone-powered Nokias, which – we hear – are already testing in the wild.

A closer look at NFC

Near field communication is a key part of Nokia's future, especially with news that the Nokia C7 is to receive a range of NFC services over the coming months. So it was a good time to look more closely at NFC itself and bring you up to speed on what it's all about.

Your Nokia Tablet

Nokia boss Stephen Elop finally admitted this week that the company is taking a long hard look at the tablet market, but said it was happy to wait until it could offer something unique, rather than simply dropping another new product in an already crowded market. So we asked you, the Nokia faithful, to come up with some suggestions, and as expected you weren't shy in giving your thoughts.

Reviews and tutorials

There were plenty of app and games reviews this week too, ranging from the Wagamama app for the Nokia E7 to the harmless fun of Bubble Popper XXL on the Nokia C5-03. And of course we continued in our efforts to help you get more from your Nokia through a range of easy-to-follow tutorials.

And finally...

If you've ever lost your mobile phone, you'll be familiar with the sinking feeling Karin Vaneker felt a year ago when her Nokia went missing. So imagine her surprise when a full year later, her daughter unearthed it from a flowerbed in the garden. And yes, it was still in working order! Nokia Conversations has the whole story.
