Nokia E7 set to appear in early 2011

It was widely expected that the release date of the Nokia E7 will fall within the festive period, but now it seems that we will have to wait a little bit longer - until Q1 of 2011. Take into account that another rumour states that the Nokia E7 is coming to Canada in early Spring 2011, which may be relevant for North America in general. To make it an even bigger mystery, its US carrier is still unknown. At least one thing is clear, though - the UK price of the device is £584.99 ($922).

Pretty much all the details about the Nokia E7 are already known and now a sneak peek of the handset is available as well. To summarise, the Nokia E7 is a look-a-like of its big brother - the Nokia N8 - only minus the 12MP camera (it has 8MP camera with LED flash) and plus an attractive looking physical QWERTY and a 4-inch screen. It uses the new Clear Black Display technology, already seen on the Nokia C6-01, that makes black look really black, not unlike a certain AMOLED technology. Sadly, what most people point as Nokia's downfall is present here as well - the Nokia E7 will run Symbian^3.
