6.6/10
Informr score
The Nokia E7 currently has an Informr score of 6.6 out of 10. This score is based on our evaluation of 14 sources including reviews from users and the web's most trusted critics.

The Nokia E7 offers a fresh take on design that separates it from most other smartphones. As one of the new Symbian 3 phones, the E7 offers a 4-inch tilting touch screen offering 360 x 640 pixel resolution, 8MP camera with dual-LED flash and 16GB of onboard memory.

This sexy side-slider has a full QWERTY keyboard, offers a 3D graphics accelerator (like a graphics card for your home PC), FM radio, pre-loaded Facebook and Twitter, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, HDMI support, tethering capability, GPS and voice navigation, all wrapped up in your choice of orange, green, blue, white or gray.

The Nokia E7 runs on the Symbian operating system and has a processing speed of 680MHz.

With a talk time of up to nine hours and a standby time of up to 432 hours, the Nokia E7 is a powerful alternative for folks looking for something other than an Android/RIM/Apple operating system. Sleek and powerful, the Nokia E7 is well built and designed for business.

Unfortunately, all this is just too little. If Nokia had managed to present the Symbian Anna update (PR2.0), some impressions might have been better. However, even in this case, thereā€™d still be the problem of the low-res display, which remains the single biggest handicap of this phone. Nokia E7 wil...

It'll be interesting to see how Nokia continues to update Symbian^3 (as with the recently announced Anna update), hopefully making it a more compelling experience.But one has to wonder how much longer will Nokia and third-party app developers keep this up. As such, this makes the Nokia E7 a pretty g...

The Nokia E7 is certainly a lovely piece of hardware and feels very well screwed together. This comes at the cost of added weight and bulk, but that doesn't bother me when the design is so smart. However, it's not without its faults, and the poor camera, stiff keyboard, and badly positioned micro-US...

The Nokia E7 is by far one of the best design phones hardware wise that exist in the market today. Its only hampered by the software and exploits even more how old Symbian has become.
