Nokia’s E7 may slot into the Finnish company’s business-centric ESeries range, but that’s not to say the handset has nothing for more mainstream users. We spoke to Nokia’s David Rivas, VP of technology management, about the E7′s multimedia appeal, together with finding out why, exactly, they’re so confident with it as an enterprise offering. Meanwhile we also grabbed some more time with the E7 and shot more hands-on video and photos, all of which you can find after the cut.
Star of Nokia World 2010 has to be the E7, the company’s new QWERTY smartphone and the device we’ve until now been referring to as “the N8 with a keyboard”. We’ve just grabbed some hands-on time with the E7 – as well as an N8 for some side-by-side comparisons – and first impressions are great.
Nokia‘s third new smartphone for Nokia World 2010 is the Nokia E7, the spiritual successor to the original Nokia 9000 Communicator. It has a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard and a slimline stainless steel case. And, as Anssi Vanjoki insisted at several points during his keynote, “it’s BIG.”
