The Nokia E7 is a smartphone with slide-out QWERTY keyboard, full touchscreen, the new Symbian^3 operating system, and a feature list so extensive, you’ll find it hard to believe what Nokia have managed to cram into its small(ish!) dimensions.
As you can see, its QWERTY keyboard runs the full length of the phone and snaps out in a similar way to the ill-fated Nokia N97 of last year. The E7′s keyboard is much better, though, and the phone looks much cooler than its predecessor, too, as it’s based on Nokia’s new smartphone design, prominently shown on the Nokia N8.
Firstly, there's the 4-inch OLED screen to play with - it's big, high contrast and still seems to fit the overall chassis.The anodised silver frame (although it apparently comes in many colours) is as attractive as the N8, and the depth of the Nokia E7 is more palatable given there's a QWERTY keyboard underneath.The same connections are present with the E7 too, with an HDMI-out, 3.5mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, although the camera is slightly less powerful at 8MP (but still with LED flash).In both portrait and landscape mode, the Nokia E7 fits nicely in the hand, although smaller palms might suffer somewhat - but that's the price you pay for a screen of this size.
