The E7 From Nokia - A Great Messaging Device
An overhaul to the Symbian operating system together with a physical keypad look set to propel the Nokia to great success both within the business market where it is aimed as well as well as with other sectors of the market.
The Retina display that is found on the iPhone 4 has long been regarded as the best display available, however it may have a contender for the crown in the form of the excellent screen found on the E7. The display measures 4 inches, giving the user a large area perfect for viewing a whole host of material on the handset. One advantage of a large display is the additional space that is given to the virtual keypad. Thus when you choose not to use the physical keypad, the on screen version is responsive and easy to use.
The screen incorporates an accelerometer chip which automatically rotates the screen into the landscape position. This is essential for using the keypad, but also great for watching video footage in wide-screen. The screen uses AMOLED technology to produce a naturally rich colour, which when teamed with the "ClearBlack" screen technology also produce fantastic results in natural daylight. The resolution of the display is a pleasing 640 x 360 pixels. The physical keypad is one of the big attraction with this handset, and the actual build quality of this device is great. Rather than feeling flimsy like other comparable models, it is robust, adding to the overall excellent construction qualities of this phone.
Any handset boasting about its messaging capabilities needs to support a good range of connectivity options to back this up, which the Nokia E7 thankfully has in abundance. It is anticipated that the majority of the phones use will be whilst on the move, thus the model benefits from 3G connectivity which offers the fastest online connection in such circumstances. Uploading of photos and videos is fast, and push notifications means the handset updates you if you receive any incoming mail. 3G does not achieve 100% coverage, but should you find yourself in an area which is lacking, the phone offers GPRS and EDGE as alternatives. The handset will connect to available WiFi networks when in range, offering the most complete online experience..
Nokia are the seasoned veterans of the mobile phone world, and models such as this reinforce the brands status at the top of the tree. The new version of Symbian OS gives the handset a welcomed boost, and the excellent screen and connectivity means this model will top many wish lists this forthcoming festive period.
