Nokia also just announced the Nokia E7, a full touch screen and full qwerty slider phone that’s got a huge 4-inch display and 8-megapixel camera.

Nokia E7 specs:
4 inches polarized, AMOLED, capacitive touch screen @ 640×360 pixels
16GB mass memory
350 MB internal memory
256MB RAM, 1024MB ROM
8MP camera with dual LED flash
720p HD video recording @ 25fps
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
HSDPA 10.2MBps, HSUPA 2.0Mbps
Bluetooth 3.0
GPS w/ aGPS support
1200mAH battery

The Nokia E7 is probably the first smartphone from the Finnish company that has a huge touchscreen, breaking the 4-inch barrier. It’s also interesting that they’ve incorporated the full touch and full qwerty keyboard in a slider form factor. The Nokia E7 could be the rebirth of the Communicator or maybe the slider version of the Nokia N8.

The unit will be released sometime in 4th quarter of this year together with the Nokia C7 and will have an estimated retail price of 495 euros or Php28,200.

If and when they say that the E7 and N8 will be upgradeable to Meego once it gets released, I’m sold. But for now, nagsawa lang talaga ako sa Symbian.

Sana there’ll be news about that.

Men can’t wait to have a nokia e7..When is gonna be available in stores???

@Dakkel

The only reason iOS is not in even in the 2 closest competition is that they only produce one cellphone which is the iphone. However, this phone alone cannibalized some market share of Nokia and their whole inventory of phones – from low-end to high-end. I am not an Apple fanboy but the main reason why Nokia outsells Apple is that iphone is damn too expensive. And let me ask you one more thing. Are there any cellphones out there who manage to sell more or less 1 million units in just 3 days? No sir. It’s just the iphone 4. Maybe Nokia and Symbian should consider fighting off such formidable competition such as iOS and Android.

vondoom · 16 years ago

Hi Dakkel! Sorry to hurt your feelings there. Haven’t tried symbian^3 but the current symbian OS we have in our local market right now sucks. Tried it because it looked promising but failed to impress. Well I’ll leave it up to you to decide but do try other phones and see for yourself. I don’t see the point why you’re comparing sales figs. Of course the cheaper models will always generate more volume. Btw I’m not siding with a particular OS. I just think symbian needs to work on its interface and nokia on its ovi store.

JunAlquis · 16 years ago

@Miklos panu ka nagkaroon ng Symbian^3 a pre production unit?

bing · 16 years ago

@ Dakkel you are the man! I can’t agree more! Android is a fruit of hype machine create by american tech bloggers. You know americans right? Hambugero at arugante, akala nila wala ng mas marunong sa kanila at wala ng ibang tao sa mundo kundi sa america lang. They always say that that symbian is dead because they haven’t get out beyong their borders. Nagpapaluko sila sa mga operator (at&t, verizon, sprint etc) nila na kung ano ang inihahain yun din ang kakainin. For how many years these people think they have the most advance mobile technology but the truth is they got the mediocre product because these operator are selecting only the phones that maximized their profits. Read blogs with real global perspective of Tomi Ahonen.

Manong vondoom, Manny ang sa mga nag-yuyuck sa Symbian:
Fact: Symbian, which was bought by Nokia some years back (yes, ‘di lang Nokia ang gumagawa ng Symbian phones) was the largest smartphone (take note, smartphone po) operating system circulating in the world (take note, not only in the Philippines or in the United States of America) before the iPhone and Android were introduced and is still(hint: present tense)even after 2007 (advent of the iPhone). iOS, Android, and RIM were left in the dust;

Fact: Symbian outsells the two closest competition combined. Hint: iOS is not any of the two closest competition; and

Source: Gartner (use google to cure innocence).

Advice: digest information before insinuating that Nokia is at the dawn of its alleged imminent doom para ‘di mapahiya.

Ang naniniwala sa sabi-sabi, walang bait sa sarili.

I will definitely buy this…

@Miklos

paano ka nagkaron ng symbian^3? kay genie?

@Ebengt0t

ano? number ang symbian sa apps? wtf

weird naman dito

Miklos · 16 years ago

Anyone saying Symbian^3 is crap is simply put retarded.

S^3, which I have used for two weeks now, is amazingly fast, robust and full of features. Coming from Android and previosuly Iphone 3G this is by far the best smartphone OS I have tried (havn’t tried MeeGo yet).

Stop being fanbois and open up your minds.

vondoom · 16 years ago

@Loong Tang pwede! gusto ko na nga palitan e. ung desire z parang pwede e no. sana lang wag sobra mahal srp dito.

Loong Tang · 16 years ago

Vondoom

it’s so simple, if you dont like it, just put it into a trash, and if you will continue to use it, i will say “YUCKIS KA GUMAGAMIT KA NYAN!”

Epstein · 16 years ago

Kapag tumagal kaya Android may magsasabi rin ng “Still Android” ?

vondoom · 16 years ago

@Loong Tang sorry to offend buddy. truth is that i still use an n97 for my sun line and i really hate the OS. kaya yuck parin hehe

^_^ · 16 years ago

nah!

Eingild · 16 years ago

It is pretty pricy for me. I’d rather go Galaxy S or iphone 4 on a plan. The phone is great, although I’m not a fan of Symbian. But hey, Nokia is not number one if they can’t pull up their game. I hope they can respond well in the face of strong competition such as iOS’ iphone 4 and Android devices.

Manny · 16 years ago

i’ve been a nokia fan since the 1990’s, but they failed against iphone, RIM, and android, that’s why the Nokia board replaced the CEO.
I’m still waiting for the rebirth of nokia in the smartphone category.

Joshua M · 16 years ago

Die Symbian Die!

Loong Tang · 16 years ago

ang dami talaga HENYO dito, may pa yuck yuck pang nalalaman mga wala naman pangbili. perfect ba celfone nung iba dito?? im sure mga naka prepaid yun mga nag uumarte dito…heheheh..PEACE!!!

Reel Advice · 16 years ago

Still symbian and a low res on a 4 incher?

Nokia really needs to re-think their strategy. I say this should move on from Symbian and develop Meego when ti comes to touch screen phones.

batang henyo · 16 years ago

mas mura sa SG ang iphone4, cehck nyo sa apple sg site, its around SGD888, fYi

vondoom · 16 years ago

symbian parin? yuck :-P

Guy · 16 years ago

nice but I’m still not loving it. i’m anti-nokia anyway :)

Whatif · 16 years ago

Symbian is not for touch same with winmo period. Thats why meron wp7 and meego.

tantra2gadget · 16 years ago

android 0s lover,say that andr0id have lots of “crappy”and “useless” applicati0n to be downloded to andr0id market,versus usable applicati0n on symbian 0s powered ph0ne’s
thats why for me N0kia is the best,and Symbian OS is the best!

GT · 16 years ago

Symbian is the most mature OS out there. Nokia had optimized Symbian^3 for touch mobile devices. Symbian ^3 is faster and better UI.

veromeo · 16 years ago

bakit sa yugatech kulang kulang ang details. anyways kahit 640×360 ang screen nya it features clear black screen look sa engadget. its like their super-amoled. im so proud of nokia. their making a comeback although n8 paren ako coz od xenon and 12mp

veromeo · 16 years ago

SUper Cool looking, I hope upgradable sya sa symbian 4 though im loving symbian 3 already. kung ui lang ang basehan kaya nag-aandroid ung iba. there’s always apps like sbp shell. symbian in already a matured os unlike android, so fragmented.

Jiro Yan · 16 years ago

I hate slide.

Miguel · 16 years ago

The keyboard looks square and not ergonomic – ?

kevin · 16 years ago

@whatif, Romy Uyehara

I second that, Nokia and Android OS would make a fantastic mix!

razorous · 16 years ago

No front facing cam for video calls?? Booo…

NemOry · 16 years ago

GRABE ANG DESIGN VERY VERY COOL….. bagay sa lahat,,, pero mas bagay sa mga HIGH class BUsiness persons… hehehehe… super gwapo ng CP

Romy Uyehara · 16 years ago

sorry, I mean android ??

Romy Uyehara · 16 years ago

Can’t nokia release a phone based on symbian ?

Ebengt0t · 16 years ago

Symbian is the best os when it comes to applications. Wala ng iba. Kung may sumusun0d man, andr0id yun. Symbian is already an stablished os eversince. Kung mer0n mang mga symbian user dyan na hindi naenj0y yung os at phone nila, dahil yun hindi sila nag-explore. If you c0uld only try what’s symbian is capable of, malamang balewala na ang iph0ne sa inyo.

roan carl · 16 years ago
