Nokia Mobile Phones

The guys at GSMArena goes hands-on with the Nokia E7. The Nokia E7 is a sleek handset with a 4 inch capacitive touchscreen featuring ClearBlack technology, and a full slide out QWERTY keypad. It comes complete with full screen e-mail, MS office apps and full HTML browser. There is an 8 megapixel full focus camera with LED flash, 2x digital zoom, exposure compensation and a full screen viewfinder. It has 2 microphones, a compass, an accelerometer, an ambient light sensor and flight mode. There is a musicplayer and a stereo FM radio with RDS. This Quad band phone weighs 176 grams and has a battery which gives up to 9 hours of talktime or 18 days on standby.

The company’s N8, C7 and C6-01 devices launched last year were designed to precisely do all this and more. These new Symbian devices now get their first software update, version 1.1.According to Nokia Conversations, the new Symbian software was meant to deliver on the performance front at release. So what’s the need for an upscale so soon? Well, the folks over at Nokia say it is to enjoy a smoother performance. While end users may not be able to directly view the updated features, the overall improvement in phone usage will tell them how good the update is. Rendering the handsets more stable, the update brings with it new content too along with the tweaks and fixes.From email invitations, users of the aforementioned handsets can accept meeting requests right away. Maps have also been incorporated straight to email so users can have a look at the meeting location via the map with the address included in the location field of the invite. The Nokia N8 in particular gets a new Quick Office 6.4 editor version that should throw open innovative venues of editing.

Considering rumors we’ve heard of a VGA display, we’d assumed that Nokia’s E6 would probably have a large touchscreen — but these shots we’ve just received look… well, a little different. Instead, it seems that Espoo’s planning to gently massage the winning portrait QWERTY formula already well established by the E71 and E72, bumping out a proper big brother to the E5. Around back, you see an 8 megapixel camera (possibly the same EDoF unit that’s in the E7) along with a dual LED flash; on front, that could very well be a VGA display, we suppose, considering the uptick in pixel density that everyone’s been pushing the past year. If we had to guess, this puppy is a lock for MWC — but in light of the crazy rumors floating around Nokia the past few days, all bets are off.
