![]() ![]() Compare the E7 alongside most rival smartphones in the store, and the screen - the most flashy and noticable feature of any phone - truly shines. The 4 inch screen is big, extremely bright, and has severe blacks which makes all videos, pictures and websites seem very bright and contrasty on the screen. ![]() It makes a breathtaking first impression. The E7 is as if it was designed for the store (as opposed to the user). This is primarily written to those loyal Nokia users who have owned several Communicators in the past and other premium N-Series phones etc. Please keep those things in mind when reading this review. My needs would be somewhat different from average E7 users and probably more demanding. I am not a typical Nokia user, I am a very loyal and very knowledgable power user. ![]() I tend to use most of the features on smartphones and experiment with them a lot - this is my 20th mobile phone and 16th smartphone, 12th cameraphone and 7th phone with full QWERTY input. I am a geeky user and power-user and have walked around with at least 2 phones in my pockets since 1999 (and two smartphones in my pockets since 2001). I travel a lot and am a kind of business heavy user. I wanted to wait with my review, as I had a series of early rapid disappointments in the first days after I opened the box, and felt I should do an honest view of owning an E7, after some serious use over many weeks, in regular use cases. It is somewhat a blend of the N8 and the N97, or a successor to the magnificent E90 Communicator and shows lineage from the N900. Its the one with the slider full QWERTY keyboard hidden inside a slim body which looks very much like the N8, but with that giant 4 inch touch screen. The E7 is Nokia's current flagship smartphone. ![]() But if a rival made a similar handset fixing just the glaring problems, they would have a winner. The thing is, I hate it several times every day… And yet I carry it and can’t imagine not carrying it (for now). I wanted to make an honest, complete review of the E7 and do it after a couple of months of using it. It was the cellphone of hope, it was the cellphone of despair.) It was the cameraphone of light, it was the cameraphone of darkness. It was the E7 of belief, it was the E7 of incredulity. (and to continue even, it really fits: it was the smartphone of wisdom, it was the smartphone of foolishness. I am sorry to use a tired cliche, but to rephrase the opening line from Dickens classic A Tale of Two Cities, it really fits perfectly describing the Nokia E7 flagship phone: it was the best of phones, it was the worst of phones. ![]()
