High-priced Nokia X7-00 Mobile is the first Smartphone on Symbian Anna platform

Nokia X7-00 has been in talks since April and finally made it appearance in few countries during June 2011. We bring here a few talks about the phone functionalities and features that will help decide whether to invest in one of Nokia’s latest launch or not.

Nokia X7-00 has been brought in with the sequel of controversial Nokia X6, which gained popularity due to its large storage space. Speaking of the model launched, this time the focus has been to make NokiaX7 more than a music phone, as it displays a big screen and a robust hardware that pushes its bar towards an entertainment mobile device.

Nokia fans that are still interested in Symbian platform and can spend money should look into buying this expensive Smartphone. Costing around 530 USD on average in most of the parts, it prices may change depending upon your location. Currently only two colors are available that can be ordered they are: Dark Steel and Silver Steel. If we see the design then Nokia has definitely made an improvement in making the craftsmanship go a serious lane. Thus the stainless steel body and contemporary finish makes this a perfect looking Smartphone in any user hands. Continuing on our views on its design, we can definitely comment on the type of sounds that comes out from this smart piece of device. With astonishing and creative idea that Nokia has put into this mobile is the placement of speakers in all four corners of the handset. Though the base speakers are the one that emits the high quality sound the upper body speakers are more for show purpose.

On a positive note the external keys which are placed on the right side of the phone are an advantage for the end user as they are nicely embedded. On the negative front lack of HDMI port makes this device to get a hitch, but still many people are ok with that too.8MP camera on the back sides has a dual LED flash just beside it, but does not has any protective covering thus making it susceptible for quick scratch here and there.

Even the Display cannot be counted as the best, as it does not has the clear black Nokia’s finest display technology. It features 4 inch AMOLED screen with an acceptable resolution quality. Nokia devices have always been popular with a durable body and this one is no different. With Gorilla glass on the screen the display screen is quite strong and can withstand some tumble.

NokiaX7-00 is one of the first Smartphone that runs on Symbian Anna platform that brings some freshness and innovativeness to the phone users.

In a nutshell we can define this phone a choice that like using Symbian platforms and are ready to spend as this is an entertainment Smartphone for the people who always love to hear some high end music on their mobile.

We were not happy with the screen display and resolution it offered, non-availability of Wi-Fi, and GPS receiver struck once again on negative cord.

No preloaded Office document viewer and no support for files with XviD videos. As the memory space fills the phone tends to become slow and sluggish. There is no USB cable or memory card that comes in the package. Except a few points that a business Smartphone would possess, this does not comes par with them.
