The down side

The Nokia E7 comes with 1200 mAH Li-Ion battery and a phone with 4″ ClearBlack AMOLED display the battery doesn’t last long. The phone is powered by 680 MHz processor with just 256 MB RAM makes the phone sluggish in performance and it takes really long time to process. With no expansion slot 16 GB internal memory is not enough for a phone with 8mp camera which can capture and play HD videos.
Bottom line
The Nokia E7 powered by 680 MHz processor with just 256 MB RAM doesn’t live up to its expectations. The phone takes really long time to capture and process photos. Inspite of having a dedicated graphics processor with Open GL 2.0 the games sometimes freezes. The battery life of the phone deteriorates pretty fast and 1200 mAH Li-ion battery is not enough. The bottom line is when you’re spending US $510, you don’t get the value for your money with Nokia E7.
