This words are use fron gsm review and they explain everything about symbian!!!
""""Web browser is frustrating to use:
Unfortunately, Symbian^3 didn’t deliver the browser overhaul that the platform needs desperately. Despite the added multi-touch and FlashLite 4.0 support, the E7 can just watch helplessly as the Android speeds away."""""
...guys, let's cut the crap!!! the smartphones or high-end phone without internet are nothing, otherwise people buy a 40$ phone if just need to call, so, if still symbian cannot give a right internet navigation, WTF!!!!!!!! 700$ and the navigations experience is like the obsolete nokia 5800!!!! LOL hahahah and after they publicize that in this phone the put flashLITE 4.0 HAHAHAHAHAA wake up nokia engineers, other brands use fullflash 10.1!!! LOLLOLLOLLOL
what is this crap?!?!?!... battery is not replaceable, fixed focus camera?!?! LOL what is a joke?! and same laggy internet navigations like the old symbiam!!! WTF! are the nokia engineers try to fool us???? all this crap for more than 600$!!!!! THEY MUST BE JOKING!!!!!!!!!! LOL
.... SO PEOPLE SHOULD SPEND ALL THIS MONEY WHEN EVERYBODY KNOW THAT SYMBIAN IS ON THE DEAD END RAILROAD!!!! simply hilarious!
A, 15 Mar 2011They did make an advanced OS, called Symbian. The average American user, however, would prefer... moreabsoulutely true...thats what apple thinks.just think about it,without even giving many features rather providin many restrictions !!! most of the eyecandy UI lover crowd is ready to pay whatever may apple wana charge them...and everybody is happy with it,no body creeps about its being overpriced...but when not that good looking but far more practical and actually functional os like symbian comes into the market with the best hardware and all the capabilities of the true smartphone/buisnessphone being with a bit higher price tag everybody starts to creep about it...

The average American user, however, would prefer eye candy and flashy animations over anything substantial. IOS is a child's toy compared to Symbian.
I just bought this phone last thursday night and i have to say Nokia has totally outdone themselves, when i first saw the n8 i had high expectations and it didnt meet them but with the E7 as soon as i held it in my hands it felt amazingly solid like no phone ive ever held and ive been through almost every phone manufactureur, but this phone feels like a proper device and performs great, im sad nokia has decided to load its future smartphones with windows because this is the first time ive actually felt nokia has finally achieved something great and i believe they should follow this platform because not everyone likes to use childrens toys such as the android and iOS based phones.
With my experience with Nokia i have learned it took them a while to adjust and perfect there Symbian platforms but Symbian 3 feels to me like a big leap into the future.
R.I.P Symbian....
Not sure why Nokia is sticking to Symbian. They had all the chance in the world to make it an advanced operating system and they failed miserably.
They should just let it go and stick to manufacturing handsets.
But as usual, big corporations like to think they are “Mr. know it all” and they want to milk the revenue until the last drop. This will be the start of their demise. (I strongly believe already started a while back)
Anonymous, 15 Mar 2011so how can you replace the battery on E7 when it does run out of power?it will not run out of battery as easily as any android will....thats my point my friend...

Also, given how "busy" a business person is supposed to be, would it be convenient to be able to open the qwerty keyboard with a single hand? Can you do that on an E7 vs. that of Milestone 2?

Exactly what are the "business features" that can ONLY be found on this E7 over other qwerty phones like Motorola Milestone 2/Pro/Cliq 2 or HTC Desire Z?
I simply hate the fact that even GSMArena is trying to make you believe that Symbian is dead, yeah, it's about to lose the top position of smartphone market share, but who cares? Even losing the top, it will still be ahead of iOS and Blackberry OS for example. Nokia have several updates for Symbian this year just like they have several devices to launch, so how can you say that Symbian is dead?
Just stop it, it's annoying already.
AnonD-1082, 03 Mar 2011Kudos to GSMArena for a great review. I do agree that it's not advisable to buy this device or... moreSymbian is dead really? Who said that? A biased website I guess? Nokia never said that would kill Symbian, instead, he said that Symbian is "here to stay" and it will have several updates this year just as several devices that will be released.
So stop believing everything that people are saying to you yeah?

please can sonebody tell me when this phone will be available in France????
Thank you
Just arrive in my country..the price is crazy..
Where I live the official price for E7 dropped from around US$690 to around US$615 in about 2 weeks at major chain stores. Smaller shops even offer another US$50 off...still almost nobody bought this phone.
In the major phone forum only ONE person said he bought the phone...only because somehow he got it for around US$520, but he sold it within a week for around US$425....
Meanwhile, the Motorola Milestone 2 was released officially around the same time where I live for around US$525. Ever since the phone was released, there has been new users started to discuss about the phone in the forum "everyday"....until a week ago...due to the fact the whole city is practically out of stock!
