#nokia e7 review

The Communicator is alive and has transformed into what is now the Nokia E7. Check out our full review of the Nokia E7 after the jump. If you're familiar with the popular Nokia N8, the Nokia E7 looks very similar -- a solid, metallic unibody design with a large 4-inch touch screen -- but when you flip it sideways and open up the sliding keyboard, the handset transforms into something totally different and reminiscent of the N900 or the decades-old Nokia Communicator. Since the Nokia E7 comes in a unibody casing, the battery is built into the device and is not user-replaceable. The slider mechanism is similar to that of the Nokia N97 as it is positioned in a titled angle once fully opened. Nokia was able to make this handset a bit thinner but carving out a few millimeters off the unibody which somewhat buries the display panel into the body. The full qwerty keyboard is large and spacious although the individual keys are a bit buried into the surface and comfortably typing with both hands could get a little bit time to get used to (the review unit given to me has a different language setting so I'm still groping around with the keyboard ).
