Nokia C7 review: Rise and shine

03 November 2010
The Nokia C7 has no intention of breaking the chain of command. It is just a slimmer, simpler and more affordable N8 and comes with more conservative styling. The well-balanced Cseries have received an accomplished leader. The specs sound cool...

Nokia rockz, 03 Nov 2010Ive had N8 now 2 weeks. Before using iphone 3G and very las... morebecause people are lazy and more dependant on their phone to think for them

when they have a phone in their hand they don't wanna think they just wanna do

and nokia is still not like that because they know everyone has sense and doesn't need to spoon feed at all

symbian3 is a great improvement to symbianOS and i'm looking forward to alot of great new features that nokia and the symbian foundation have in store

i've had mine since last week friday and i lOVE it

you can turn widget feeds on or off on the fly
and 6 widgets a page is fine

i only use 2.5 and everything is so much faster

peopel complain about how slow it is....turn off the theme effects

which only nokia can do
have the things people want on their phones they have to download it
like a proper GPS

ovi maps will always be #1

and it's so much faster now

i'm honestly happy with my purchese of the N8 and impressed with nokia's update to symbian

    Ive had N8 now 2 weeks. Before using iphone 3G and very last SGS. iOS and Android is good os, but still dont understand the whining about Symbian. Its easy to use and everyting works fine. Its definitely different than iOS or Android but theres no big failures. Maybe people just dont like it because it looks a bit outdated. But for me thats not a problem.

      why do these guys never seem to review symbian with updated applications
      like

      ovi maps

      everyone so far has reviewed it with 3.04 and 3.06 is already out for symbi3n so what's the deal with that

      and i lOVE MY N8 so much

      best built phone ever in mobile history
      no lie

      it's solid

      now for a slight update with the firmware and apps and BAM nokia will getting 40 - 50 % in the mobile industry

              After reading full review i must admit nokia is smart.....they make it fixed focus its intentionally.so if you need all in one go for n8.And c7 is more cheaper then n8.try easy to understand end of the day its business.

Nokia sells cheap phones, that's why they are No1 seller, it doesn't mean that they do interesting products.

                      [deleted post]well wat do you expect when a company releases like 10 phones at one time? of course most of the reviews are of nokias. They are the single largest phone manufacturer and seller in the world. Not to forget the list of "news" they released with thier latest hand sets.

                      This phone is certainly a looker. that chrome lip, the sleekness and the elegant crisp face of that phone, probably sh|ts on any other touchscreen non-qwerty key board phone out there.

                        Looks like Nokia is leaving the cameras with auto-focus only for the top devices, that's really nonsense and stupid.

                              add this line to "N8 over C7"

                              * 512MB vs, 1GB ROM on C7


                              very nice phone indeed.
