Hands on: Nokia X7 review
By Gareth Beavis

Techradar.com - Up close with Nokia's new touchscreen titan

Nokia's pledge to keep Symbian alive and well has been tested with the Windows Phone 7 announcement, and the Nokia X7 is the first device since the shift to launch with the original platform.
The Nokia X7 features a large widescreen 4-inch screen, and comes in at less than 12mm thick - not the thinnest on the market, but certainly pretty svelte with rounded edges.
However, it still feels pretty chunky in the hand


An 8MP camera is flanked by a frankly blinding dual LED flash, capable of HD video recording - the shutter speed is pretty decent in our tests, although it could do with being a little better at jumping back to the viewfinder once the snap has been snapped.
The new Symbian Anna update is, in our opinion, simply a very small in the general direction of where Nokia needs to be going to bring its new phones up to speed in the smartphone wars.


The home screen scooches along with a finger now, rather than waiting a couple of beats to move, and the portrait QWERTY keyboard has been added to the mix.
However, the widgets are still in the same 4-icon rows, with very little available in the way of customization. Nokia claims that this is fine and simple for its users, but we really can't agree - if users want a full screen music widget with huge album art and a few random application icons dotted around the
place, they should be able to have them.
The portrait keyboard is fine at entering text - the placement of a few of the keys feels a little counter-intuitive, but it won't take long to adjust to the new system if you feel like picking up the Nokia X7.




The video playback is pretty sensational, as you might hope - the ClearBlack OLED screen does its jobs admirably at showing high-resolution video although there's no HD video out option here.
