The Nokia E7 is seemingly pitched as a business phone, packed with features which will keep you productive when out of the office. One of the main draws of the handset is the slide out QWERTY keyboard which offers efficient text entry, therefore making the Nokia E7 ideal for those who are constantly texting or sending emails.

It has a similar design to that of the N8 aside from the largish glass display, which can be flipped sideways to reveal the physical QWERTY keyboard. The chassis is carved out of aluminium, which makes the phone solid, and gives it a feel of stability.

It runs on Symbian’s latest (and as it has turned out so far, last) iteration, ^3, making the interface similar to the N8 and other Symbian S60 v5 devices. There are three customisable homescreens to toy around with, all three house application shortcuts and widgets. There is a Social client installed amalgamating Facebook and Twitter updates together. Profiles are also available here and through the address book.

The 4 inch screen is AMOLED delivering sharp, contrasted colours even in broad daylight. The panel offers 640x360 pixel ...
... resolution and supports a capacitive stylus if needed. There is handwriting recognition included, an accelerometer and it features a virtual keyboard for when you don’t want to slide out the physical one.

The Nokia E7 is compatible with QuickTime and Web Runtime standards making it easier for developers to use applications on various operating systems. It has Exchange Mail, IBM LoNo Traveller, QuickOffice, Adobe PDF reader, and other software, but its greatest push is the free Ovi Maps GPS-navigation and mapping software. The latter is perfectly usable, and it is certainly impressive that this is included as a standard feature of the device.

As for the email client, it supports multiple email clients and accounts, and it is responsible for writing text and multimedia messages. For SMS, a threaded (conversation-based) view is available.
It easily and smoothly connects and switches between different Wi-Fi protocols (b/g/n), from GSM to WCDMA. It can be used to tether, making it a substitute for a data modem.

The camera is one of the biggest draws of the Nokia E7, able to capture 8 Megapixels, supported by a dual LED flash. It records HD video at 25 fps. The secondary camera can record VGA still pictures, and significantly smaller, 176x144 videos at 15 fps, but both work fine.

The Nokia E7 is clearly a sister phone to the N8, offering a number of software similarities to the manufacturer’s flagship smartphone. All in all, the E7 is a desirable smartphone, with the tech specs that put it in a position to compete with the majority of its competition. It is also available in several colour option, meaning that it also caters for those who also view their mobile phone as a fashion statement, a massive plus.
