so, the E7 is due this week...
 

i for one, am excited. cant wait to get some reviews on this though i know it will be at least another month before its on amazon/dell/newegg for less than $500. i wanted to pull the trigger on an n8 for my wife for christmas but she loves her n97 mini and i know she would poo-poo any device without a qwerty

I'd be more excited to see if it was the N9 ):.

i hear ya, but im a sucker for elegant hardware of all flavors

Re: so, the E7 is due this week...
 

one more day? or does nokia drop the ball once again?

Re: so, the E7 is due this week...
 

I've had a play with the N8 and can say I wasn't that impressed. Symbian 3, while being quite different under the hood, certainly hasn't seen too much of a change with the UI although that may be something done on purpose by Nokia.
I think I'd forego the extra 16gb, sd card slot and 12mp camera for a qwerty keyboard any day. The E7 would b my choice over the N8 for that reason alone.
I'll stick with my N900 and Desire for a while yet and see what Nokia brings to the table with Meego.

well color me failed

so shocked.

its odd that they twittered that just a few weeks ago

Re: so, the E7 is due this week...
 

I used the e65 (S40) before changing to N900. I just got the C6-01 with Symbian 3 for my wife. I'm ok with the OS.

By the way, the C6-01 looks, and feels great! :cool:

What are you talking about?

I just got an N8 3 days ago. Symbian ^3 is a major improvement over previous versions. I just got rid of my N82 with Symbian 3.2 and my Nokia 5230 (traded to get my N8)with Symbian 5th so I have recent experience with the Symbian of old. The UI is faster and the games are better due to the Broadcome GPU, the OS has more functionality and the hardware combination is rock solid.

The E7 will be great as well. People complain about Symbian's UI and most have never used it, especially the new version. You don't like the font, change it, don't like the background, change it, don't like the widgets, change them, don't like the icons, change them, don't like the organizational structure, change it. The UI is customizable and speedy due to the new Symbian^3 GPU UI acceleration. The Symbian OS core has been updated with new features on top of the industry leading feature set of of previous Symbian versions. People act like they are incapable of learning a different OS yet they forget that at one time they had to learn how to use iOS, Android, Blackberry, WebOS and Windows Mobile/Phone. It is what the OS can do, how it OPERATES, should be most important.

Enjoy it for yourself.

hm.. so where's the E7?

Re: so, the E7 is due this week...
 

I suppose there was false info that the device would be in shops 10th of December. What I've heard is that it will be on market at last week of december. Obviously only in Nokia flagship Stores and in the others later. I've used N8 since it's launch and I'm very satisfied with it. Only the keyboard is missing.

well ill be darned.

I bet they had like less than 100 of these

i really really want one. but like $450 bad, not like $679 bad

i refuse to pay more for the E7 than i paid for the N900. Hopefully we see it on dell or newegg for a decent price within the next 6 weeks. thats about how long it took the N8 to come down to a reasonable price

Re: so, the E7 is due this week...
 

I'm excited about the launch because supposedly that there will be a Symbian update coming along with the E7 release.. so.. we'll see.. Hopefully there's a new update coming for my N8. :D

I just love updates.
