Nokia C7 - user opinions and reviews

Guys,
I got to play with the Nokia C6-01 and the new Galaxy SL yesterday..
The C6-01 is nothing different from the C7, apart from the CBD and a sharper display due to a higher pixel-density. But, the phone fails to impress as the display, though marginally smaller than C7, does look CRAMPED.
Using the camera, esp HD recording is not that much fun to be honest. Also, the HD games that I play on the C7, don't appeal much due to the tiny screen, but, the sharpness and the display quality is slightly better than the C7. Not much noticeable if you keep the phones side by side.
Coming to the Galaxy SL, we all know that Android is, by far, the best deal when it comes to OS and UI.
BUT, the ever-so-power-hungry Android OS and a large 4" TFT-LCD display are real BATTERY SUCKERS!!
I have to admit that the display quaity of the Super-Clear LCD (actually due to the resolution = 480*800) is fantastic and the 4" screen is a great thing to play your games on(though it doesn't have HD 3D games).
So, the C7 has the AMOLED, almost all the features you would expect from a Smartphone, that too at a great offer price!!
The C6-01 has a better display quality, slightly though, having everything else in the UI as good as the N8 or C7.
Samsung's Galaxy SL, the LCD model of the Galaxy S, is as impressive as it's father, but, having lost the S-AMOLED, lacks it's dad's charm. To add more to grieve about, it's LCD and a real battery crisis follows that!

AnonD-4462, 04 Apr 2011Thanks for sharing your thoughts rahulsuneja.
I've read far and wide on different websites ... moreDEEN!!
Don't worry about the display, Nokia shall replace it if you start having a bad experience with the tint.
Also, if you're planning to buy this phone, I would suggest you not to download those test images.
You should be alright with your phone.
It's all in the head and not in the display, mind you.
For everyone else,
If you think you can't live with it, you can go for the C6-01 which is completely free from this kinda issues as it uses CBD technology over AMOLED.
Cheers!

Can any body enlighten me how to save the videos which were downloaded from you tube (flv formate) in C7 phone. When I transferred the videos from my system to C7 through blue tooth, it went and saved in messages. when I try to save it in memory card, there is no option on the file like save, or send to memory card etc. Every time I play those videos by opening messages-inbox-click-video plays. svraghavan.

I've read far and wide on different websites and forums on this issue and the complaints seem to be getting more heated and more widespread with each passing day. I guess part of the discontent is because of what people interprete as nonchalance on the part of Nokia administration trying to ignore the problem.
I've always felt/hoped the tint was manageable as long as it stayed at a minor level, like yours and Maverick's. But at the same time, I've seen screen shots of tinted displays that were simply unbearable. If this were any other phone I'd ditch it and go for something else, but try as I may I cannot find a phone with comparable features at a similar price.
All I can do now is pray real hard that I get one with an ok display. AND make sure I read the fine print on the warranty.

... moreHello Deen..
I'm a C7 user since January. Yes, I have the purple tint issue but it's not a major one. It doesn't really affect me in my routine use. But, while watching movies, I can see purple-pink-brown patches in dark areas of the video. That is when I come to notice about the issue.
However, there are certain phones where the issue is quite explicit.. Those phones show up half of the analogue clock as completely brown or dark purple.
This is an excellent phone, with so many features loaded. I couldn't find any other phone within this price range with these many features and an AMOLED screen.
Now, people here who are cribbing about the tint issue should know that all AMOLED screens have a tint. Some have blue, some have a yellowish off-white, some have a red/brown, while others have a purple/pink.
You can see it on wikipedia that all OLED displays have a tint that gives an apparent artificial saturation to one or the other colour.
I do not say that there's no issue with AMOLEDs on N8's & C7's..
All I want to say that if it's too much of a Pink/Purple shade, get it replaced. If your problem is not at the WORST stage, Nokia might not even touch your phone, let alone REPLACING the display.
PS: must go through this link and read all about OLED technology. And stop cribbing, you can bare with it quite easily!

I'm in Nigeria too and I have some questions for you as a prospective c7 buyer. How do you feel about the purple tint? Its actually worrying me a lot. Do you know anyone personally that owns a c7? Does any of them have the tint? I know two people with n8's but they bought theirs last year, so they dont have the purple tint (though they have freezing/restarting issues).
