The highlights of the Nokia World fair were two mobile phones: the Nokia N8 and the Nokia E7. The Nokia N8 has already been covered in numerous articles, so in this article we will focus on the features of the E7.
The Nokia E7’s operating system and user interface are nearly identical to the Nokia N8, which was also demoed at the Nokia conference and will launch later this month. You’ll discover three home screens, each filled with customizable widgets as well as shortcuts.
Where the Nokia E7 separates itself from the N8 is its slide-out QWERTY keyboard and tilting screen. The slide itself is a bit of a hit and miss too. It’s hard to get your fingers in just the right spot to push it in one fell swoop, though that could be a fault with the E7 prototype.
The fact that the screen always tilts will make it incredibly easier to type on the Nokia E7 when it’s sitting on the tray of your train or plane. This is a feature that other mobile phone manufacturers should consider using in their designs in the future.
This particular large 4-inch screen is very impressive. Still, the 640×360 pixel resolution may not be as HD as you’d find on Apple’s iPhone 4, it’s even larger than most phones and will do a first class job and benefit the owner greatly. road.
Nokia’s new ClearBlack screen technology should improve visibility outside the house in direct sunlight. This will be a noticeable improvement on the AMOLED screens frequently found on Android mobile phones.
The E7 also has something called Web Kit in the Internet browser. An Internet browser based Web Kit included with Symbian 3 definitely needs a mention in this review. It converts Internet sites very well, even those with Flash content. This allows users to see web pages the way the designer should see them and not in a fragmented version. It really is easy to use as multi-touch gesture support will allow you to zoom in and out of pages with little hassle. It is quite easy to modify websites, include social bookmarking.
Nokia was very keen to highlight the business package available for the Nokia E7. This is perhaps an attempt to catch up on Blackberry’s lost business. Business mobile phones aren’t normally known for flashy looks, but the Nokia E7 is different. The aluminum casing looks almost identical to the Nokia N8, with sleek, rounded edges available in orange, dark gray, and green.
Aside from the heavier email, end users should be happy with support for about ten email accounts, such as Exchange products. Nokia has developed a completely new email interface for touch screen devices that allows you to switch between multiple folders or even different email accounts easily and seamlessly. Small pop-up menus appear from whatever file you’re in, whether it’s your inbox, outbox, or even your sent folder, so you don’t need to close the app.
