Nokia‘s third new smartphone for Nokia World 2010 is the Nokia E7, the spiritual successor to the original Nokia 9000 Communicator. It has a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard and a slimline stainless steel case. And, as Anssi Vanjoki insisted at several points during his keynote, “it’s BIG.”
There’s full Exchange integration, Office document viewers and all the usual Ovi applications. That means turn-by-turn directions in Ovi Maps, Ovi Store downloads and more. Vanjoki calls it the best business smartphone to date; we’ll have to wait for some hands-on time to find out if that’s true.
Update: Price will be €495 ($636) when it arrives on the market in Q4 2010. Specs are impressive, too: five-band WCDMA (850/900/1700/1900/2100) and quadband GSM/EDGE, an AMOLED display with polarizing layer, 16GB of onboard storage, FM radio, WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS/A-GPS, HDMI, USB Host support, HD 720p video recording and more.
