I have it and it's been updated to Symbian Belle in 2012 (on the video it is on Symbian^3) and it's slow (not that it really ever was fast). You can't install apps from the Nokia Store anymore, you get redirected towards the Opera Store (where not many apps are compatible). The build quality and the AMOLED screen are still amazing though ! I love to type with the physical keyboard, it really is something you don't get anymore. I intended to have it as a secondary phone, but due to its software it just can't. Guess my E71 will have to do ;)
Avik Dey if you plan on using it I wouldn't recommend it (I keep mine for nostalgia). If you're nostalgic of Nokia and are looking for a greatly built, *smooth running* smartphone I would recommend looking at the 9series Nokia Lumia like the 925 and 930. They're cheap and still run great. Although keep in mind they are 5 years old now.
yeh it is a great phone and i love using it... i dun knw why ppl were always found complaining abt it all the time...i did'nt got any prob in it a bit .
People, now, many people don't believe in Nokia anymore... But, there is a huge upgrade coming up on all Symbian 3 devices, which will focus on UI the most. It will be completely different. So, if you are planning on buying new Symbian 3 devices, just know that Nokia is working on them 24/7. And they are doing everything to fix all the bugs and problems that the owners complain.
Nokia ia actually going to release both windows and android based phones in the next year or two, apparently they are releasing meego and then offering phones with either os, nokia will be shaping up soon you will all notice a difference by the end of the year, sounds kool
Hey, can someone help me, please ? I want to buy new mobile phone . But i dont know which is the best - iPhone , Nokia E7,Nokia N8 or Blackberry torch ?
@zouryteck iPhone 4 if you want loads of apps and games. Or Android for a bit of that + tweakability. My reason for wanting the E7 would be the form factor, the nice 4inch screen with great colour depth, 8mp camera, USB-on-the-go and the supposedly-good keyboard (I'd love to be able to play nethack or some emulators on this thing with ease).
HTC desire z, SE Xperia pro or Nokia E7 ??? answer me anyone,please... and i have one question, can these phones use QWERTY keytouch on the screen (even in the normal stand or landscape mode) ??? please answer it if u know, so me and other people who are confusing of these three phones will get help...thank you so much....
My sister had it for like one day and thankfully with contracts you get a trial period and then you can either keep the phone or return it! Its really slow when it comes to the internet and social networking everything else seemed fine but u dont wanna have to wait like five minutes for a page to load! Dont get it! If you buy it keep the receipt because your gonna wanna give it back!
great review brother, i am waiting on my old school new in box in 2022 Jan. I cannot wait to step back to Nokias solid well built phone, and stop playing with my 6 in plus smart phones with slippery gripping, shattered glass, price and high cost services. I will hook this old school beauty to Lucky mobile for 26 dollars a month and use it mainly for its actual purpose lol.. calls to mu kids and grandkids and not need overtime to pay for the next gen phone 6 months later lol thanks for the review, 10 years ago lol..take care
I don't know why but it seems that every preview/review of S^3 handset the UI is very snappy but those video that shot by real S^3 user with some apps install in their handset the UI is laggy and jerky. Any S^3 user answer?
Actually, predictive text with the traditional keyboard is very effective, more accurate and faster than using querty on touch screen and for me personally faster than physical querty keyboards. Its easy to get used to and most people just dont want to invest the energy.
It has 3 home screens! Even the older and hated Symbian s60 5ft edition had 3 home screens in Samsung phones (Nokia didn't make Symbian s60 they just bought it few years ago)
@felipwild the 5800 can hardly run Music Player and anything else smoothly.. I have one but I think the E7 (like the N8 and C7) do better in that regard..
WTF.. i think this proto si actually older than Nokia World, because it has the engraved "E series" on the back, and the front sensors are not covered. This is just like the one jon4lakers from TechnoBuffalo had, when it was leaked. For what i'm seeing, someone gave that phone quite a beating, that aluminium casing is not that easy to scratch.
You've just unpacked the phone and you've already scratched this beauty on the corner! You should be withdrawn from these phone reviews! And Nokia is accented on the "o", not the "i"!
@rg0r ur ridiculous... symbian is highly optimized so it hardly uses any processor power hence why you dont need dual core 1.2ghz chips. Androids OS demands a great deal of CPU (it hogs the cpu) hence why they need to throw in heavy duty chips in there. This is why the Symbian devices are far cheaper than say an IP4 unlocked. When MeeGo is released it will need more cpu power hence why its expected we'll see 1.2ghz chips on the Nokia N9
@armandornd Noah left PhoneDog. Have you seen any videos that is narrarated by him? Look up TechnoBuffalo. Its 10 times better than PhoneDog. It reviews all sorts of stuff.
"Doesn't play movies"? I have the official version of this and it sure plays movies. Most common formats and containers up to 720p. Even supports subtitles (from a separate file, though) Close apps and switch internet connection and WLAN search off and it'll stay on for ~30 hours

Notice the Nokia CBD (Clear Black Display), Nokia's brand new technology to get vibrant colors and deeper black.
2018. I need this
Yosuke Rechain ikr I want it too

Romain Joubert so should I buy it

Romain Joubert I was thinking of using it for nokia Facebook as 2nd device and just for calling and as listening music what do you think

2016 and i want this phone so badly
@vonuzu still, any phonearena video is dark when it comes to reviewing/previewing/testing the software
i just noticed, at 9:15 the phone has FM transmitter? does the final unit have it too?

did the phone stand by when u turned it over?
thats a great looking phone, nice software and hardware :)
is it any thing" you kinda actullaly" like bout this nookeeya u liked while reviewing
this beautiful phone is being held back by symbian..
Nokia ia actually going to release both windows and android based phones in the next year or two, apparently they are releasing meego and then offering phones with either os, nokia will be shaping up soon you will all notice a difference by the end of the year, sounds kool
Hey, can someone help me, please ? I want to buy new mobile phone . But i dont know which is the best - iPhone , Nokia E7,Nokia N8 or Blackberry torch ?
2:32 - bottom left, the phone has alot of scratches, u dropped it? orr?
@zouryteck iPhone 4 if you want loads of apps and games. Or Android for a bit of that + tweakability.

please answer it if u know, so me and other people who are confusing of these three phones will get help...thank you so much....
did they scratch it up?
Is it going to break
@JackSfi
He missed that the phone is from Finland not Korea
Has anyone noticed that every since Noah left PhoneDog and went to TechnoBuffalo, not many people are watching phone reviews anymore?
does this thing have wifi?
can u get games on this phone
I think that this should be their flagship phone
My sister had it for like one day and thankfully with contracts you get a trial period and then you can either keep the phone or return it! Its really slow when it comes to the internet and social networking everything else seemed fine but u dont wanna have to wait like five minutes for a page to load! Dont get it!

ANYONE PLEASE ANSWER ME, DOES NOKIA E7 HAS QWERTY KEYBOARD ON THE SCREEN JUST LIKE THE NOKIA N8?????
PLEASE REPLY THIS...I WANT TO BUY THE PHONE..
dropped it a few times?
great review brother, i am waiting on my old school new in box in 2022 Jan.

how many games does that phone have
Why does some E7 has a front camera..some doesnt...?
i do like it, i dont think id buy it but i do like it nokia makes such a high quality looking product
I don't know why but it seems that every preview/review of S^3 handset the UI is very snappy but those video that shot by real S^3 user with some apps install in their handset the UI is laggy and jerky. Any S^3 user answer?
Very good review but i'll see another where they do not use prototypes
@pufixas Nope, it's actually spelled like he does. Its Finnish accent, where Nokia is from.
I bet you can download all kinds of emulators and games for that baby.
@14meejmom it does run 3G on AT&T and T-Mobile
Actually, predictive text with the traditional keyboard is very effective, more accurate and faster than using querty on touch screen and for me personally faster than physical querty keyboards. Its easy to get used to and most people just dont want to invest the energy.
IMPOSSIBLE!! THE SOFTWARE REVIEW AIN'T IN THE DARK!
The pronunciation of Nokia is doing my head in...
@supernova5121 have you try sysmbian ^3 ?
why people dislike this i dont know that matter???????
its a new life
What's that dent/scratch doing there?
@valivondtru he did said it was the prototype
I like you're spelling even more.
@rg0r u fail.. the phone has very powerfull gfx chip that most games and applications can take advantage of.
for god sake when you press the option on the homescreen , can you not see the ADD NEW HOMESCREEN? you pressed it like a couple of times... =.=
this or an iphone 4?
It has 3 home screens! Even the older and hated Symbian s60 5ft edition had 3 home screens in Samsung phones (Nokia didn't make Symbian s60 they just bought it few years ago)
where is this fuy come from?
@07liberian yeah, I know. But compared to any Android or iOS it looks really old.
Imagine this phone is actually a Maemo based and with spec at least similar or better than N900
check n950
@felipwild the 5800 can hardly run Music Player and anything else smoothly.. I have one but I think the E7 (like the N8 and C7) do better in that regard..
no external memory like the x6!!
iamdwyanecardiff hallo
my phone ...
i think i'll get this for my birthday..forever alone ;-D
If you guys still have it could you please do a giveway... Pleaaaase.. ✌️
Fxtec Pro 1 and Pro X are a similar Android phone to this
to add a new home screen ...just press options / new homescreen ( min. 6:36).
i think it's awesome
@NoahAnt yea, i know, i kinda rushed to leave comment before seeing the whole video.
WTF.. i think this proto si actually older than Nokia World, because it has the engraved "E series" on the back, and the front sensors are not covered. This is just like the one jon4lakers from TechnoBuffalo had, when it was leaked. For what i'm seeing, someone gave that phone quite a beating, that aluminium casing is not that easy to scratch.
Remember every1 ...its still a prototype so the nokia e7 cannot be judged of wht kinda phone it is
nokia n8 is still the best....
12mp camera
xenon flash
fully touch screen
memory card slot (up to 32gb)
internal memory 16gb
oops, i meant the "Nokia" engraving, not Eseries
This is a business phone, why are you reviewing only multimedia side of it?
@pufixas I usually tell people that "it's not know-key-a, it's nock-e-a." I hate it when people say know-key-a.
@adidy49 0:08 he said it was a prototype
Is that 70$
@cuplajsu This is a preview not a review..
Nice... I'm selling my iPhone to buy this one. And I'm not bullshitin'
6:34 no new homescreens? looks a lot like it sais "new homescreen" there :P
@JackSfi it should be pronounced No-ki-ya
awesome___ luvvvv it
@JackSfi Even Steve Ballmer said it wrong.
it looking very nice :D
will anyone miss symbian?
You've just unpacked the phone and you've already scratched this beauty on the corner! You should be withdrawn from these phone reviews! And Nokia is accented on the "o", not the "i"!
Your reviews are generally good but please articulate more. You sound like you are eating your words. Thank you.
this dude love rock
@TheresaG1998 down there ....
@DillingerCapone
yeah... i bought iPhone 4 today from the apple store here. And i think it's the best phoneee ever :)
06:44 "the main menyu" says a robot
Nokia E seventh!
looks good! only looks :P
"nooookeeeeyaa" OMG
NOOOOOKIA!
Im gonna buy a Nokia when they switch to Android..
@rg0r ur ridiculous... symbian is highly optimized so it hardly uses any processor power hence why you dont need dual core 1.2ghz chips. Androids OS demands a great deal of CPU (it hogs the cpu) hence why they need to throw in heavy duty chips in there. This is why the Symbian devices are far cheaper than say an IP4 unlocked.

srry tht i am poitnting out a mistake but it is no-ki-a not no-kee-a
@armandornd Noah left PhoneDog. Have you seen any videos that is narrarated by him? Look up TechnoBuffalo. Its 10 times better than PhoneDog. It reviews all sorts of stuff.
good mobile
I hope the actual phone isn't as beat up as the prototype! lol
"Doesn't play movies"? I have the official version of this and it sure plays movies. Most common formats and containers up to 720p. Even supports subtitles (from a separate file, though)
Close apps and switch internet connection and WLAN search off and it'll stay on for ~30 hours
wow this this prototype seems worn off
@PoetryRocksAlot you mean know-key-ah
cool maan
Symbian? Seriously? I have a 5800. I know how this system has made me cry. It looks good until you change the theme and open Opera and Music Player.
отличный телефон!
