Nokia E7-00

The Nokia E7-00, also known as Nokia E7, is a smartphone by Nokia with a QWERTY keyboard that was marketed as part the business-oriented Nokia Eseries. It was announced at Nokia World in September 2010 together with the Nokia C6-01 and Nokia C7 and started shipping in February 2011, retailing for 495€ / HK$4898 / £375. As with the other two, it ships with the Symbian^3 operating system. Aside from the addition of the physical keyboard, many of the E7's specifications are similar to the more multimedia-focused Nokia N8. Differences include the lack of memory card slot, no FM transmitter, a less advanced camera with extended depth-of-field, instead of autofocus as in the N8 and the Nokia E90. However, it retains the N8's HDMI connection and a non-removable battery. The slide features a similar upward-facing mechanism as the Nokia N97. While it was not part of the Nokia Communicator, many regional marketing literature unofficially considers it as such, being the spiritual successor of the E90. Compared to the N97 and E90, the E7 has a multitouch capacitive touchscreen. Unlike the N8, N97, and the E90, the E7 has an AMOLED ClearBlack display with a slightly lower resolution than the E90's primary display. Vlasta Berka, general manager of Nokia Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei, talked about the trend of users who are using their smartphones for business.
