Nokia today announced two new smartphones, the
The X7 features a 4″ display which is great for games and movie playback. The 8 megapixel camera rounds out the features, with HD video capture. Also constructed from glass and stainless steel, it’s a solid device, albeit with an unusual design. It will come preloaded with Galaxy on Fire HD and Asphalt 5 HD games.






Earlier on I referred to the split personality of the phone. Fundamentally, there are two modes, one called Business and one called Personal. Each mode can be configured independently so that, for example, you can have a serious workplace view with corporate greys and a sensible background in the Business mode but wild colours and a risque image for your Personal mode.
With regards to media, the E5 comes with a radio, music player, video player, the ubiquitous camera and a podcatcher, which I was pleasantly pleased to see. There’s also a Facebook client which is quite usable and you can easily see what your friends have been up to and respond to them. YouTube, Twitter, MySpace, Friendster and hi5 apps are also installed for your pleasure.
On the business side, QuickOffice provides the requisite Microsoft Office compatibility and there’s also a .pdf viewer from Adobe. There are other apps such notes and unit converters.
Other useful features are the wizards that take you through the steps to, say, setup email accounts or connect to WiFi. However, if you do make a mistake, such as a mistype which you don’t notice during the wizard, can be difficult to correct because there are just so many settings scattered across different areas. Case in point, if you want to delete an email account, it’s not in the email app, it’s in Control Panel, Settings, General, Email.
