We set loose our full Nokia E7 review last week, finally laying down the verdict on Nokia’s next-gen communicator. We called it the “best Nokia” ever at the time, but here’s the rub: when will see a Windows Phone 7 Nokia atop the shortlist, and when will a Nokia ever crack our overall best smartphone Top 5? Click through for the revised list.
Long time readers will know that we’ve had a love-hate relationship with Nokia for some time. We love its hardware to pieces, but we continue to have our dreams crushed by the phone vendor’s insistence on improving its Symbian software at a glacial pace.
Still, of the phones running Symbian, there’s no doubt the Nokia E7 is the best: its large screen and solid slide out keyboard make the OS much more usable, and it’s packing plenty of horse power under the bonnet to stream HD video to your TV and whatnot.
What we want to know is how long you see the Nokia E7 staying there. It looks likely the first Windows Phone 7 Nokia won’t hit until 2012, and it’s been all quiet on the Symbian front in the meantime, save for a new Nokia E6 leaked last week. Will you be buying the E7, and can anything replace it? Shout up with your thoughts in the comments below!
