Nokia E7 - Review

If you want a phone that lets you take great quality pictures and video, and work on the move, choose the Nokia E7.

Write messages quickly

The Nokia E7 is great if you send a lot of messages and emails from your phone. A QWERTY keypad slides out from underneath the screen - perfect for typing longer emails or documents. Or if you're just sending a quick text, you can tap it out on the touchscreen. The BlackBerry Torch and HTC Desire Z also have this option, but the Nokia E7 offers a slightly larger touchscreen.

Take stunning pictures with the Nokia E7

Just bumped into a celeb on the street? Been invited to a party at the last minute? Because you don't always have your digital camera at hand - the Nokia E7's 8 megapixel camera lets you take high quality pictures whenever the opportunity arises. The crisp 4" screen makes viewing them a joy. And you can share them easily with your friends and family by uploading them to your favourite social network.

It's a great quality camera - better than the BlackBerry Torch or the HTC Desire Z but not as good as the Nokia N8.

Shoot high definition video

Next time you're at an event or a family gathering where a photo just won't convey the atmosphere - try videoing it. The Nokia E7 comes with a HD video camera, so you can record and play back high quality videos. There's also a HDMI slot, which means you can connect it to a TV if you want to view your videos on a larger screen.

Keep yourself organised with the Nokia E7

If you're out and about a lot for business, keep in touch by sending and receiving emails on the Nokia E7. You can also sync your work calendar, contacts and tasks - so you don't have to worry about missing out on an important meeting. These handy features are similar to those you'll find on other popular business smartphones, such as the BlackBerry Torch or BlackBerry Bold 9780

Work on the move - securely

The Nokia E7 also comes with business grade VPN, enabling you to connect to your company intranet safely and securely.
If you're not in front of your computer and need to make a last minute change to a document, you can do it easily on the Nokia E7. View and edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents using the built-in Quickoffice application.
