The screen freezes, cuts out calls and turns on and off when want to. although the style looks good and easy to use but not very brillant in the tech department.

Very nice hardware, frustrating software & support

limespider has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

average of each category is 5.7... but everyday usage must be weighted significantly more, which drags my overall score to 4.0


I ran out of boxes for cons, but just click on the individual ratings to see why i rated it that way....

Build quality 7/10 Flip up screen is very good design. Fit and finish is good, but... Can't use one handed because palm of hand next to thumb presses screen by accident a lot -- don't have this problem with T-Mobile G2. Weight distribution is poor -- too top heavy so can't use one handed and press physical button at same time. No elevated border / bezel to protect camera from scuffs/scratches All metal casing is slippery & causes problems when have to 'snap' open to use keyboard.

Reception 7/10 Reception is good, but reception on T-Mobile G2 and Nokia 5230 are better.

Call quality 7/10 Volume from headset can be low at times. Voice quality is below Nokia 5230, but better than T-Mobile G2.

Internet 6/10 It is slow. Browser can't display certain objects from some sites. Included email client is superior to Android's mail program.

Multimedia 7/10 Has been able to play every video format thrown at it. Streaming internet radio skips when doing ANYTHING else (rotate screen, back screen, press any soft button, etc.). Included isolation type earphones slip out of ears too easily & is compounded by a very weak clip. Remote works fine but some buttons are small.

Camera 4/10 Flash is nice. Closeups are no good because it is a software based focusing system (half of picture is in focus, half is not). Detail is on par with some cheap 5MP cameras. Camera colours don't have wide enough range and seem faded/grey-ish. Front facing camera is very poor quality. Grainy, dark & low resolution. Recording video is passable for a phone not geared to be a multimedia phone.

UI speed 3/10 Very cumbersome UI. Common for pauses of 1-2 seconds for basic things like navigating menus. Scrolling main screens & menus is often jerky.

Everyday usage 3/10 Using E7 is cumbersome. Too many steps to do basic things. Folder style menus can be customized I like that ringtone profiles can be easily switched & gives EXTREMELY MORE options than Android. Nokia Maps give somewhat better driving directions than google maps (for Vancouver Cananada area). HOWEVER, online maps have ability to display bus schedules on maps.

Text input 7/10 The physical keyboard is absolutely wonderful. Great tactile response. Good spacing between keys. Good choices for characters of physical keys. HOWEVER, on screen keyboard is sub-par (with and without SWYPE).

Display 9/10 The best screen i have ever seen. Very bright and colourful. Can even be seen in directly sunlight. But for some reason, pressing on the bottom left part of screen will sometimes not result in any action (more likely software).

Battery 3/10 I don't use my phone much. Just text msg & light email. But even then i must charge phone at least once a day Listening to internet radio with stereo bluetooth earphones depletes a full charge in 1.5 to 1.75 hours. A T-Mobile G2 will last at minimum 3+ hours under same conditions.

Pros

• (see individual sections for more details)

Cons

• Poor software & even worse support form Nokia
• Bug in MS Outlook Calendar sync moves re-occouring items 1 day ahead (Nokia support is USELESS for help)
• (see individual sections more more details)

torture like never before

MRSHAH has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

the specifications of e7 & it's looks tend to give an appearance of an amazing phone that would fit the needs of both business users & the multimedia freaks,,, but the reality is far different
the built quality & looks of the set are no doubt awesome so is the call quality & signal reception,,, but when it comes to every day usage it's then that one really feels like kicking himself for owing this set

slippery body as a result of which there is always the fear of the set slipping off
more over the slow interface is really annoying especially when browsing & also tends to freeze especially when the memory is upto 50% full
camera is another disappointment even for an E-series set after the promise e72 had shown by being ranked as one of the best 5mp set around
but the biggest set back is the I-phone imitation of unibody by nokia ie fixed battery cover as symbian sets are bound to hang & the only way to get them back running is by removing the battery which is not possible here & tends to be very annoying

the e6 is a better option with all the features of e7 & more user satisfaction

Build quality 9/10

Reception 8/10

Call quality 9/10

Internet 7/10 slow & laggy

Multimedia 8/10

Camera 4/10 lacks autofocus not the best 8mp camera

UI speed 4/10 very slow esp when memory is high

Everyday usage 3/10 bulky & slippers to go with the slow ui

Text input 7/10

Display 8/10

Battery 4/10 not great for a business phone

Pros

• built quality
• call quality
• looks
• excellent recording
• powerful multimedia

Cons

• slippery body

• fixed battery cover
• tends to hang
• no memory card slot

Nokia E7 rocks...

Abhishek Jain has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

Nokia holds the best interface as far as any other OS is considered and i have been a user of android since last year but it is no where closer to Nokia Symbian 3.0..
Push mail services lifetime free in E7
GPS lifetime free
Office lifetime free
Why not these qualities are added????

Rolce Royce amongst the mobiles, what can you want more from aPhone ?!

computersfuture has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

After seven years a decent replacement for my good ol' 6800.
It was the best at the time to have mobile WAP and Web access trough USB.
Full size KB, and screen, and cameras, and .... just make this device on top of all my IT and communications resources.
Audio... although not HiFi on MP3, it is stunning, the noise suppression is fantastic.
I like it's size, weight, feeling, and I would not change it for anythng we have on display. I work in Mobile retail, and part of my job is knowing, using and selling devices for the best of customer needs and expectations...
The pricing is in line with the performance and quality, with no signal dropping when you hold it bare hands. Independent of software updates and PC connection it is the top I can afford...
Fantastic job, Nokia.

The phone i had ...

mamdouhbg has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

Great smartphone, very smartphone.
There is some disadvantage : the fixed focus camera , the mono speaker and it's bad place in the phone.

The screen had some very small scratchs when it droped over my keys
but you need to concentrate to find them, does not effect on the screen anyway.

A great phone i was the 3rd one in Egypt to own it

E7 review

Domen94 has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

i bought this phone recently and i LOVE it
there are few cons that are overruled by pros.
it has a great resistive touch screen display, with best colors you've ever seen on a phone.
the way its made and the way you pull out the keyboard is the really impressive.

Hmm. . . It seems like an extra ordinary smart phone with camera 8 mega pixel it is the only business cell phone with such an amazing camera like this but i think it will be at the most if the cam was 12.1 mega pixel like N8 it is the only reason that made me wanna change it and if they raise the processor to 1 GHz it will be Awesome mobile and i'll buy it again but now i feel like am confused from choosing it or the N 8 or LG Optimus 2X or IPhone 4G umm. . . symbian 3 Is better while android is the best so i hope nokia will soon make some different in there softwares

I completely agree.

I am a Nokia fan but as of now, I think Nokia is loosing the high end battle little by little. The final evolution of Symbian S60 is extinction. They should release Meego. It's their only chance as of now. Unless they are able to completely revamp S60 or unless they will embrace Android.

They should realize that more and more people are capable of buying high end handsets like SGS or iPhone4. Nokia is meddling too much in the low-end or mid-range mobile phones. I feel that Nokia is afraid or incapable to battle it out in the realm of high end mobile devices.

Nokia N8 will be my last Symbian S60 device. Unless Nokia does something revolutionary.

E7 - N8 with a keyboard

Overrated Child has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

Seems like an OKAY business phone. Though there are no business apps pre-loaded onto it. This gives the phone not too much out of the box functionality, although I have to say it is better than the iPhone 4 in every way, other than resolution; in which the iPhone 4 wins.
Also, the N8 seems to have a free Usb-on-the-Go cable, which is more business orientated, and should have been packages with the E7 instead.
