How It Compares
- vs. Nokia N8: E7 has larger fixed storage (16GB vs. microSD), AMOLED display, QWERTY keyboard, HDMI out — but no FM transmitter and EDoF instead of autofocus camera
- vs. Nokia N97 mini / E90: E7 adds multitouch capacitive touchscreen and AMOLED ClearBlack display
- vs. Nokia E90: Slightly lower screen resolution but significantly thinner and lighter
Why Collect It?
The E7-00 represents the pinnacle of Nokia's hardware keyboard smartphone design — a device that combined premium build quality, a full QWERTY keyboard, AMOLED display, and HDMI output in a remarkably thin form factor. It is one of the last great Symbian devices and a collector's piece for anyone interested in the history of mobile computing.
