Nokia C-7

We review the Nokia C7, a slim touchscreen device running on Symbian^3.The Nokia E7 may have been the star of the show at Nokia World, but there were two other devices launched there too – the C6 and C7.Both the C6 and C7 feature a touchscreen and run on Symbian^3. Where they begin to divide is in the size of the screen and capabilities – both speed and internal memory.The Nokia C7 features a 3.7-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with Nokia’s rather fancy-sounding ClearBlack Display. Although the Nokia C7′s screen is pretty special, with darker blacks and more vibrant colours as a result, it does suffer from the usual greasy fingerprints you’ll get from any touchscreen device.
