It's already available in our Virgin Mobile stores. Anybody interested can pm me. We will deliver your phone within 10 working days, if you can sign up for a Classic 200 contract.

Remember, with Virgin Mobile you only use 65 cents per Mb and 99 cents for Virgin to Virgin calls.

Good question..Nokia have seriously lost the plot. Whats the use in getting a Symbian 3 phone now when it will not be supported in 12 months time. So if the software is buggy it will not be fixed with a patch or whatever.

If only the E7 with Android could have been ... dream dream dream ...

For those of you actually still considering a Nokia phone, the E7 has been reviewed by GSM Arena

Symbian. BLEH BLEH BLEH BLEH!

 

[doeppie01]

Symbian 3 is awesome

Anyone in SA, like me, who's still planning to buy this phone?
OR
Or what phone out there would you say is the most similar to this device?

It seems like a very impressive phone other than the operations system. And Symbians days seem numbered with the Nokia/Microsoft deal, I'm pretty sure The vast majority of new Nokia smart phone will end up with Windows Mobile 7

Symbian will stay on in Nokia. It will just migrate to their cheaper consumer handsets.
Windows 7 mobile is reserved for their smartphone lines.

I have the N8. Very similar to the E7.
Differences are mainly the screen (E7 has a slightly bigger one and has their new Clear Black technology), camera (N8 has the uber one) and a querty keyboard.

I'm absolutely enjoying Symbian^3.
Its stable and very well organised.
Nowhere near as fragmented as Android.

You will love it.
Just take Symbian for what it is and on its own merits.
