The Nokia E7-00, also known as Nokia E7, is a smartphone by Nokia with a QWERTY keyboard that was marketed as part the business-oriented Nokia Eseries. [5] It was announced at Nokia World in September 2010 together with the Nokia C6-01 and Nokia C7 [5] [6] [7] [8] and started shipping in February 2011, retailing for 495€ / HK$4898 / £375. As with the other two, it ships with the Symbian^3 operating system.

Aside from the addition of the physical keyboard, many of the E7's specifications are similar to the more multimedia-focused Nokia N8. [9] Differences include the lack of memory card slot, no FM transmitter, a less advanced camera with extended depth-of-field, instead of autofocus as in the N8 and the Nokia E90. However, it retains the N8's HDMI connection and a non-removable battery. [10] Its keyboard features a similar spring-loaded mechanism as the Nokia N97 and Nokia E75.

Compared to the N97 and E90, the E7 has a multitouch capacitive touchscreen. Unlike the N8, N97, and the E90, the E7 has an AMOLED ClearBlack display with a slightly lower resolution than the E90's primary display. [3] Vlasta Berka, general manager of Nokia Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei, talked about the trend of users who are using their smartphones for business. [11]

Criticism

The Parliament of Finland bought 200 E7s in spring 2011; by late April 2012, over 50 of these phones had been serviced under warranty. Most of them were fixed by an OS update. [12]

The E7's battery is not user-removable, [13] [14] although unofficial online tutorials on how to replace the battery exist. [15]

Being one of Nokia's first phone designs without a dedicated connector for charging, the USB connector in the E7 is also used for charging, and is a common point of failure.
