FCC dissects Nokia X7, tests only two of its five 3G bands

17 May, 2011
Sometimes the FCC tears a phone apart and we look on with ghoulish delight. The victim this time was the Nokia X7, which sports AT&T compliant bands even though we last heard that AT&T has lost interest...

As a US citizen, I'm very interested in the X7! Glad AT&T decided not to go w/ it. I'd prefer to have it unlocked and commitment free! I am a guy, afterall!

          Where did you get your N8? Was it through "Robbers" or, was it at Pacific Mall? I'd like to get one but, Rogers only has it in the white-silver.

            I like the X7, 17 May 2011I like the X7, a lot of people including my friends and co ... moreNice comment dude. I agree with you that android offers too many updates that ultimately leads to obselute technology of their own platform as well as the consumers are affected. BB, iPhone & NOKIA are quite solid & duly put in a lot of research before providing an update. the end result is that you can use these OS for a longer period as compared to android. Also the resale value of the ph. is affected due to the pace of upgradation. I wanted to purchase a Motorola Milestone but by the time I reached the market it was already outdated. Then I got a X-10 & a BB (six months ago) while the BB is as solid as ever now I feel that my X10 is outdated. Besides I miss the customization which you can do in a NOKIA.

              I like the X7, a lot of people including my friends and co workers here in the US are only concern with image when it comes to cell phones. I like that my nokia come with no branding and I can customize it the way I want to. I never complain about battery life with my N8. I always here reviewers bashing the symbian OS but never took the time to review the maemo 5 os which is wonderful and would give any cellphone a good old smack down. I stop listening to cellphone reviews after I got my Nokia n8 because I saw that most reviews are personal not reviews. Nokia please take your time like you are doing with coming out with great devices. The people that are claiming to be real nokia fans are not,only bandwagon jumpers. How could you be a nokia fan and say harsh thing about the company and their products. I like all cell phones because they offer something different. I like the technology that HTC & Google has created with andriod but it has two many updates for me. We accept these Froyo, Honeycomb, and Icecream sandwhich updates but no one has stop and said hey HTC/Google stop updating us so much and give us one solid OS. I own a EVO from sprint and I own a Nokia N8 with T-mobile. When I sold my nokia e73 I got 85% of what I paid for it but when I sold my samsung intercept I received about 35%. The problem was that my interecept was not the latest andriod OS at the time which cost me when I upgraded to the EVO. With all these upgrades coming out every 4-6 months you will be paying twice as much if you would have purchased a nokia device. The andriod fans are constantly having new devices and when I pull out my EVO the andriod fans are like oh that is not the EVO 3D so it is worthless. I am a cellphone lover and looking at the X7 with anna is not looking bad at all. My Nokia N8 is better than my EVO in "my opinion". My evo is my personal phone and the N8 is my work phone. I could never have and android phone as a work phone it is my personal toy...which I love for that purpose only. I can see myself with having any nokia device...in a since I might be a fan deep down inside...but I love all cell phones. Nokia, BB and the iPhone are the most stable phones I have ever used. You can dislike my comment if you like but you have to admit that there is some truth to it. If you ever owned a bb, iphone, or a nokia then you understand my statement.

              SN Nokia and GSM Arena please update us on the Nokia n950 if possible. Meego OS is up and coming. If that device is anything like the meego tablet...Nokia stocks will go through the roof.

                I know they will release it with Symbian but they should provide a later update to the new OS... which will most likely be the new windows OS.

                Otherwise, i doubt anybody will buy this phone.
                I love symbian... I've got an E71 that puts any blackberry I've had to shame....

                But... Symbian has stayed the same while iOS and Android have moved on.
                Time to have an OS that makes the phones shine... previously the Phones were doing all the shining... and the OS was found wanting...

                  same theme effects.

                                        Not only is symbian unpopular in the US, as the UK's not too keen with it. Its a shame the OS lets Nokia down as they are a fantastic manufacturer.
