Nokia E7 review



User friendliness summary for Nokia E7 review


I love the solid feel of the E7's metal body, but sliding out the QWERTY keyboard takes quite a lot of force. The phone feels very business like, thanks to the Symbian^3 operating system, which is unlike the user-friendly interfaces of Android and iPhone handsets


User friendliness summary for Nokia E7 review


Despite the face that Symbian^3 is a revitalised operating system that is supposed to be optimised for touch-screen handsets, it is neither user friendly or smooth in use - and the out-of-date software makes it frustrating to use many of the handset's features


 Feature set summary for Nokia E7 review


There's a long list of features - accurate GPS with free sat-nav from Ovi Maps, excellent email, HSDPA and Wi-Fi for web access, an eight-megapixel snapper offering HD video recording, plus an HDMI port so you can view on a large high-def screen. It's a shame the software doesn't equal it


Performance summary for Nokia E7 review


The E7 is a good multitasker but we did find it would slow to a stop if we had eight programs running. The operating system is clunky and not fun to use, especially if you've experienced Android and iPhone operating systems.


Battery power summary for Nokia E7 review


Unimpressive battery life, even for a smartphone - it hardly managed to last for nine hours
