E7 can connect to external HDD

Maps can be used even it is not connected to any network

It comes with Camera with  excellent quality 8MP pictures as well as  HD video.

Nokia E7-00  looks to be at a crossroads of the mobile mindshare.
If Nokia wants to improve the User Experience or UX…they should seriously take a look at the MOAP UX used on Japanese Symbian smartphones.
In 2007, a long time ago in mobile mindspace, these Japanese phones with MOAP UX wrapped around the Symbian OS, had rich media, DVB-TV and push email.

The Nokia E7 shows that Symbian can still beat any phone OS available today with features like:
- Networking
- Multitasking
- Efficient CPU and Memory Usage
- Longer Battery Life
- Multiple form factors (touch screen, QWERTY keyboard, T9 keyboard, or any combination)

There’s a lot of BS going on about Symbian being 10 yrs old technology.
Technically, most “modern” mobile operating systems are repackaged with graphical interfaces wrapped around “old” operating systems.
Very few companies can claim to come up with a “new technology” mobile phone operating system…a lot of the “innovation” is the user interface.

Under the hood, Symbian is a solid tried and tested truly mobile phone OS kernel.
If Symbian is 10 yrs old then…
- Android is even older (with the 20 yr old Linux kernel)
- Apple iPhone iOS is 25 yrs old (iOS contains the Unix Mach/BSD kernel)
- WP7 is 15 yrs old (WP7 contains the Windows CE kernel)

Besides putting in great graphics, animations and eye candy for the GUI… Nokia E7-00  certainly need to take better care with doing a “task analysis” of the user interaction on each phone model (since Nokia have an abundance of phone models that are most likely designed, built and shipped by different groups within the company).
This should help bring about consistency with the key press and screen taps for different operations for related user actions and steps to perform the similar types of operations.
