Describing my impressions from Nokia N8 I asked the readers to participate in the questionnaire on the prospects of Symbian^3 and answers were quite symptomatic. It is good for Nokia, but does not impress against the background of other solutions. This is the best description of this range and Nokia C7 is not an exception. People who are accustomed to Nokia phones will like the model, but this solution is hardly a market leader. Among flagship models on Symbian^3, you will not find a more balanced handset. Think yourself, the model successfully got rid of an unnecessary HDMI output and a 12 MP, but retained other features of Nokia N8. Nokia E7 will be more expensive. So, we have a winning solution for the next several months. The handset will appear in shops in mid October or November. The recommended price will be around €300-320 before taxes. In real life the price will be higher as we see in the case of Nokia N8 (announced price of €370 became €450-470 in shops). Depending upon the market this phone will cost around €360-390, but even such a price is quite attractive.
In C series we have Nokia C6 with QWERTY keypad, but it costs a lot and is not very attractive. Unfortunately, we should not expect any OS update for the model as Nokia C7-01 (imagine this index) will appear in this capacity. It can be announced in the first quarter of 2011. This will allow Nokia to sell Nokia C6 and launch Nokia E7. It looks that Nokia C7 is the main model on Symbian^3.
Those who are accustomed to Symbian and know this OS will find the model attractive. It offers few interesting games, austere and outdated interface. Taken together it means that Nokia C7 will not attract new customers, but Nokia fans will choose it quite consciously. After all it is the best value for money on Symbian S^3.
