We're into the last week of July, and even though the weather finally looks like drying up a bit, there's no drying up of the Nokia goodness here on NokNok. Here we look at our weekly Nokia Nuggets – all the highlights from the past seven days.
There are plenty of interesting choices to be had in Nokia's smartphone line-up these days. Do you go touchscreen or QWERTY, or combine them both as with the Nokia E7? And that's just your first Nokia, what about a second device to carry when you're out on the town?
So many questions, and we've spent a large part of the past week delving into just such debates to help you decide which is the right Nokia for you.
Nokia's QWERTY heroes
Nokia has made some top-notch QWERTY phones down the years, and its current range – including the Nokia C3, Nokia E5 and Nokia E6 – are certainly carrying the tradition forward in style. We've been taking a closer look at these high-tech QWERTY heroes, plus we even lined up the Nokia E5 and Nokia E6 keyboards in a head-to-head to showcase their strengths and weaknesses.
Nokia E6 camera in focus
That wasn't the only coverage we were giving the Nokia E6 this week, either. As part of our ongoing in-depth look at this business smartphone we've given its 8-megapixel camera a detailed review, plus we've gone back to basics in detailing a quick run-through of five key steps to go through after switching yours on for the very first time.
Nokia N9 hardware secrets revealed
The Nokia N9 is a real beauty on the outside, but what about when you strip away that polycarbonate shell and take a peek at what's underneath? Well, thanks to a Nokia N9 service manual that has leaked online, you can see all the details for yourself.
Nokia X7 unboxed and reviewed
Symbian Anna has very much landed, and we've been getting to grips with it on both the Nokia E6 and Nokia X7. In the past week the latter saw some unboxing action – complete with plenty of photos – plus we put its hardware to the test, plus we dished up some key steps to tick off to get up and running with the new X Series flagship
Nokia Windows Phone all-important for Microsoft
We all know how important the Nokia Windows Phone project is for Nokia, but it's good to know that it's equally important for Microsoft too, and that Nokia can look forward to the kind of privileged status it definitely wouldn't have received on any other platform.
And finally...
We've already given it some coverage, but we're happy to return to the unofficial video drop test conducted by Nokia fans over in North America that saw a Nokia C7 survive a seven-foot-drop that shattered the glass shell of an iPhone 4. Not that we like seeing gadgets destroyed, of course...
