Overall the C7 comes out to be a good phone with some exception here and there. So if you are a true Nokia aficionado
And want a good smartphone without going overboard consider this on top of your list
The Nokia C7 is a solidly built, very capable smartphone with a good screen, decent camera and exemplary battery life, but as usual it’s let down by the Symbian operating system. If you’re already a Nokia smartphone user, it won’t be too much of a str...
The Nokia C7 is a nicely designed mobile with great audio output, and what is still a rather novel touchscreen-based interface for Symbian. We aren't yet convinced that ^3 can compete with Android and Apple's iPhone OS, though - but the C7 is a positiv...
Most of the rest of this phone's apps – the music player, video player, alarms, calendar – follow the similar sort of trend already set out: they get the job done but aren't exactly a joy to use. The same could be said for social networking. Apps for Twit...
News feeds and widgets are just too small to be enjoyed properly without opening them up
Pros: The cool metallic styling will attract many Cons: News feeds and widgets are just too small to be enjoyed properly without opening them up Verdict: While the Nokia C7 is a step up from earlier models, it's let down by the Symbian^3 operating syst...
Although there are a lot of good things about the Nokia C7 - the build quality, design, maps and battery life - we can't overlook the huge pain in the neck that is the operating system. With a better, cleaner operating system this could be a great hand...
The Nokia C7’s price tag of around £329 SIM-free makes it good competition for both mid-range phones such as the HTC Wildfire and the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro, and high-end phones such as the Nokia N8. The Nokia C7 is a good multimedia phone ...
The Nokia C7 features a large 3.5-inch AMOLED screen. With multi-touch technology, it's the perfect device for browsing the internet or flicking through your photographs. The display is also made out of glass, and it's surprisingly robust.The design of the Nokia C7 is also a high point, with the handset avoiding the bulky camera casing found on the Nokia N8. Instead, you'll find a curvy design, w
Unlike the Nokia N8, the Nokia C7's camera does without Carl Zeiss optics and autofocus. The resulting photographs are still pin-sharp, but depth of field suffers as a result. The Symbian ^3 operating system will also prove too clunky for some. It still works well – proving responsive and versatile – but it's not as intuitive as rivals and takes some getting used to.
The Nokia C7 is a feature-packed smartphone. It may lack the ease of use of the Apple iPhone, but it counters with a robust and stylish design, and its operating system offers a lot more versatility. It's also set to be a lot cheaper than its rivals. B...
Sturdy, attractive steel case; great battery life; responsive capacitive touchscreen; decent camera
Software isn't as easy to use as competing offerings; weak calendar and email services; terrible on-screen keyboard; lame widgets
The Nokia C7 smart phone looks and feels the steely business, and its battery life defines 'stamina'. But it's not as much fun to use as many Android phones available for the same price....
