Nokia are introducing their latest phone, the Nokia C7 to take the huge competition that has built following the success of the Android platform phones lately. The Nokia C7 boasts an incredible array of features to take on that competition. The phone is made from polished stainless, which gives the phone an incredible upmarket feel and is also great to hold in the hand. The 3.5 inch touch screen display is large enough for doing a variety of entertainment of business related activity like watching movies, playing games or browsing the web.

The home screen in this phone can be personalized in three different ways with a number of apps, contacts and other shortcuts right in front of you, when you need it most. Being a capacitive touch screen, this phone gives multi touch support meaning that you can pinch and zoom, tap to select and so on. Nokia have integrated this phone with a number of social networking applications, so that you are never far from your Facebook account. The phone is powered by Symbian 3 operating system and there are over 1000’s of apps to choose from Nokia’s own Ovi Store.

Nokia have equipped this device with an 8-megapixel camera, which produces stunning image quality, which is comparable to the likes of most compact digital cameras. The camera can also record videos in High Definition 720p format. Other features include 3G, Wi-Fi, and built-in GPS with Ovi Maps support offering free lifetime navigation. The phone also has a FM transmitter meaning that you can listen to music stored on your phone in your car stereo without any hassle.

Nokia has just announced that it has begun shipping of its latest model and this phone is expected to be available in the UK very shortly at around £290.

C-series Nokia, Nokia-C7

It seems that the leaks have skipped a phone. Recent images of the Nokia C7 smart phone have made it to the internet –completely skipping the C5.

As you might have heard, Nokia’s early C series devices starting from the C1 all the way to the C3 have already been officially announced. The impressive handsets range from standard candy bar mobile phones to a sleek portrait keyboard bearing handset. Now, a fully dedicated smart phone has been introduced to the C series, the Nokia C7.

At first glance, you might mistake this device for an earlier Motorola Android handset (it looks a lot like the old XT 800). Sadly, the device is packing only the Symbian S60 5th instead of the Symbian^3, so if you are picky about what operating system to have, you might want to pass this up (unless you are a Symbian/Ovi fan that is).

Overall, it is a pretty impressive little handset for its size and tech range. As stated, it looks a lot like the XT 800 which means that you get that same super-flat phone face and the extra shiny screen border. The ends of the devices curve out giving it a very rounded look while the dark gray body gives if a sense of weight.

Nokia has yet to detail the specific features of this handset, but we do expect the device to come complete with support for standard WAP and HTML websites (hopefully the Opera Mini browser which has been making its way as a staple for many Symbian handsets), decent media playback capabilities (support for the usual files, MP3, AAC, WAV, MP4, WMV and maybe even H.264 video).

With most of the other Nokia C series handsets coming out this year, we can probably expect the C7 to start showing up sometime during the third quarter of 2010.
