Nokia E7 comes in 4-inch screen, 8MP camera

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.

    Na try ko yun nokia e7 sa Nokia Dubai, sa tingin ko it is fair enough to say that nokia has done good on this E7.. screen is really good, os is fast and overall hardware is much better than the samsung galaxy s series.. i am considering to get one.. in singapore it is available for around 28k pesos..

    Majority of the Nokia haters here probably haven’t used an N8 moreso the E7 which is not even released yet. I am a professional. In my line of work I value reliability, ease of use, business features, and durability of a mobile phone.

    Sure, Iphone 4 looks nice and expensive and has loads of eye candy. But its just a pretty expensive personal phone. Its great for personal use, but it doesn’t have the functionality of a true business phone.

    Different phones are built to cater different needs and wants and capacity to pay. There will be no all in one phone that will ever grace this planet. If there will be one in the future, it will be the end of innovations for the mobile phone industry. Asking for a very cheap, expensive looking, big screen and resolution, lightweight, extreme durability, high quality UI and eyecandy, reliable telephony, 200x optical zoom camera with GN40 xenon flash, ultra high capacity battery, 10 day talk time, 30 day stand-by time,etc. is like asking for a sure solo win at the 6/55 lottery.

    Try out the product from stores before saying negative comments about it. I’m pretty sure that there will be demo units for high-end units in a lot of cellphone shops.

    Sa palagay ko this phone will be suitable not only for business minded people but also for writers,reporters,TEACHERS… madaming magbebenifit. who cares about the operating system… it’s just that… i know i am ignorant about that,but for me if something is of help to me, it’s nice. kelan ba release nito para mabili na nang macompute ko na grades ng mga students ko ng d dinadala ung notebook ko sa school o pumunta sa computer shops??? I also have many ideas to wirte about…stories i’d love to put into words…
    sana malapit na…

    Personally, I dont have anything against symbian OS. Nakakasawa lng kasi pare-pareho ang UI nila. I’ve been using Nokia since 2004-2009. Parang walang ng thrill pag aralan ung mga high-end phone and smartphone kasi pareho lng sila ng features, specs and functions.

    IF NOKIA WILL RELEASE A MINI VERSION OF NOKIA E7 (SIMILAR TO N97 MINI),I WOULD DEFINITELY BUY IT. CONSIDERING THE FACT, THAT THE PRICE OF NOKIA PHONES EASILY DEPRECIATE, IT WOULD BE A NICE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO HAVE A NICE PHONE WITH A REASONABLE PRICE.

    I love this phone!!! I don’t understand why people don’t like Symbian… It’s actually a very user friendly operating system… Although Open Source OS’ like Android and Maemo/Meego are nice, but you’d greatly appreciate it if you’re a developer… I like this innovative design from Nokia. The only thing that I don’t like in this device is that there’s no expandable storage… They should’ve placed a slot for a memory card in this thing… But I still love it… Hopefully it will be released soon!

  11. Avatar for JKisaragi JKisaragi says:

    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.

    @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.

    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.

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

    @ 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.
