Anonymous, 01 Jan 2011me, ifan? You didnt read my post. You think iphone and N8 are the onli fones out there? theres... moreN97s and E7s OS have nothing in common but the similarity in looks and the name "Symbian". They are different OSs.

I liked the keyboard mechanism of N97, alot nicer than some flat sliding.

The screen seems big for the resolution though, but seeing that I couldn't really wish for any bigger resolution on N8s 3,5" screen, don't think E7 will look much worse.

You obviously have no experience of Symbian^3 platform or the phones, the CPU is perfectly sufficient for the phone with the aid of the GPU, please stop being ignorant.

You think iphone and N8 are the onli fones out there? theres so much that is better than Nokia and iphone now, especially HTC, wow i love it. I stil like Nokia N900 also, its after all the onli good fone from nokia the last 2 years.

    E7 is a loser coz it has the bad keyboard mechanism from N97, and same screen resolution and similar processor and OS to N97. Remember that N97 was a failure already 1.5 years ago, and it was better than E7 (better cam, 32gig, cardslot...). So when N97 was a loser already so long ago, how can a weaker unit be good so long time after? Coz relatively speaking the E7 is much much weaker, compared to the competition at the time of launch. Its the demn same procesor, onli slightly higher clocked, and the OS has gone through cosmetic surgery to look more up to date but is the same outdated symbian on the inside. And 4 inches of 640x360, that is plain ret@rded....

      well to all people thimking battery is not removable u can search youtube for same, just remove 3 screws ( torx) and voila u get battery out.
      but why anyone want battery out, battery is premium uality and is gonna last for a good long time, much more than warranty of nokia, then even if anyone wants to change battery, u will get original one na.., so why worry just take it to noika care they will change it

      so i dont understand why people consider it bad, i think it is make set thinner so it gets its premium value and praise.

        Anyone know of any mods or future updates to the built in photo editing software that allows scaling of the noise reduction. Would be great to be able to adjust between 0% and 100%

The lack of a memory card solt is for safety purposes.i also cant imagine a business man can fill up the 16gb onboard memory to the max. What do you ifans care anyway? When the iphone doesnt come with a memory card slot and exchangeable battery, you are all freaking happy about it, but when other phone have done the say, you all will diss it. At least the e7 battery is changeable providing you have the right tools.

          The only dissapointment i find in the e7 is the edof camera. But imho, the iphone will always be the worst smartphone

What are you trying to proof anyway? Unbiased view? Pffft...your post is obviously supporting the iphone a lot. And are you triying to say that the great camera, great gps (OVI maps), the nice hardware (hdmi and usb otg) ARE ALL BAD???? The iphone has none of this! Pls, just get outta here. And the way you say that the iphone is bad because if the restricrions is like your saying that it is just a small matter

Both N8 and iphone4 are bad fones, for very different reasons. At least iphone has a great resolution screen, and a very decent processor, and a potentially good OS if apple opened up for user freedom. N8 has neither of those. Iphone4 is bad onli coz of the limitations it imposes on the poor users, N8 is bad in almost every thinkable way EXCEPT the things that makes iphone4 laughable.

                    For unbiased persons its hard to determine who is the biggest clown in the arena, N8 or iphone4. But soon E7 will come out, then its no doubt anymore which is the worst phone of all, probably the worst of all times.

                              adkane, 01 Jan 2011Actually it affects the software. 1) some users cant access ovi store after using the mod ... more1. The ovi store problem doesn't occur due to this mod. Some people instead of uninstalling this mod did a hard reset and tried installing ovi store. Ovi store is not installed directly after a hard reset. But it installs and works fine after installing QT. This is a minor issue and may be fixed by firmware update

                              2. I have not experienced any such problem. Maybe there is some other cause.

                              3. Continuous auto focus has some issues and is not working for long distances. The modders are working on it.

                                  1) some users cant access ovi store after using the mod

                                  2) it kinda screws up the auto focus while taking a pic. many users complained that when they were in a situation where they can focus properly, they suddenly cant get it anymore with the mod

                                  3) while playing back the vid taken with the autofocus activated, you can hear a 'tik tik tik' sound which comes from the lens trying to autofocus. to me is not worth the extra 5fps if there is the sound. there have been rumors though that the upcoming update will bring 30fps recording together with continuous AF

                                    This mod only reduces jpeg compression.
                                    The camera shoots any photo in RAW format which a large size file. It is then processed and undergoes conversion from JPEG. The JPEG file is compressed to save space. This mod only removes the compression step. No extra load on processor hence no effect on battery life.

                                    As for uploading youtube videos, you can do that by the inbuilt web browser. Just have to change from mobile view to desktop view.

                                    Many sites are already present like mobile9.com and nokia beta labs for apps
