The distance between the glass surface and the actual pixels is fairly large, though.Īll in all, the E7 feels like an incredibly solid piece of engineering, and there’s no flex or bending anywhere on this device – remarkable for a hinged device. It’s a capacitive touchscreen, and responds well to touches and swipes. It’s got a nice 4.0″ 640Ã-360 Clearblack AMOLED display, which, while outdated, still looks pretty damn good. The E7 is built almost entirely out of anodised aluminium, and is remarkably thin for a device that houses a full landscape keyboard. The Nokia E7 was one of the first Nokia phones to sport the ‘Lumia’ shape the company still uses today, but unlike the similarly-shaped N8 that came before it, it sported a landscape QWERTY keyboard, hidden behind what is by far the best spring mechanism I’ve ever seen – it opens and closes with an incredibly solid, satisfying, and firm spring motion. While more detailed information about it will find its way into the Psion/Symbian article, I figured it’d be interesting to give a few first impressions. One of the devices that was atop my list was what I think is the ultimate Symbian device: the Nokia E7 – the last of the long line of Communicators, released in early 2011. As I’m working on a long and detailed article about Psion and Symbian (similar in setup to the Palm article), I need to dive into a number of devices that I have never personally owned.
