FINNISH PHONE MAKER Nokia's slider keyboard E7 phone is priced at £499 and can be pre-ordered now at firm's website for UK shipping from early April.
Launched almost two months ago in Finland, the the E7 had a likely arrival date for the UK and many other markets that had been a bit of a mystery. If you pre-order one now, Nokia will ship it in early April at the same time it starts selling the E7 from its brick and mortar stores.
The business handset will be in high street shops from the middle of the month. When Nokia unveiled the E7 at Nokia World in September 2010, it announced a price of €495 excluding VAT. The phone is free if you sign up through the Nokia website for a 24-month contract at £35 a month on the Vodafone and T-Mobile networks.
Originally expected last December, the Nokia E7 handset has a 4-inch AMOLED 640x360 capacitive touchscreen, an anodised aluminium chassis and an 8MP camera with a dual LED flash. The camera can record HD 720p video and the phone has a second VGA front facing camera that can be used for video calls.
The Nokia E7's operating system is Symbian^3 and it has 16GB of internal storage, a g-sensor, a compass, a proximity sensor and an ambient light detector. It has 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity and its ports include HDMI, microUSB 2.0 and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Exactly the same thing with me. I really really really wanted an E7, now I'm happy with my HTC Desire HD, and recommend it to all my friends and family.
The N8 might be the phone with the best camera out there, but that alone just isn't enough.
I admit that I really like most things in Symbian, but the User Interface and Developer support just aren't there.
As for those of you still on the fence, join us (Android), we have the "Game Dev Story" game. ;)
I suggest you read the article again. It's not a Windows phone. What's wrong with Windows phone anyway, for workplace I'd have thought companies would prefer Windows phone for interconnectivity.
I need a sample of the phone
I remember when this was announced back before November when I was deciding what upgrade handset to get. I wanted the E7, desperately so.
But I took a HTC DHD instead and Nokia's lost another customer due to a ridiculous display of long time-to-market.
Is this one of the new windows phones from Nokia? we'll pass. we were waiting on their meego products. We have standardized on Nokia phones. Now that they announced that they are using Windows on their phones we will pass. We are looking at the Android for all our employees and evaluating different hardware.
