Nokia X7 – 8MP camera, blinding flash and an OS called Anna
Nokia are staking out their belief in their own-brand Symbian operating system by installing it again in their latest smartphone release. Symbian – a Nokia-created rival to the Android and iPhone operating systems has come under a lot of criticism over the years for a clunky user interface, slow response times and ugly looks with way too many boxy menus..
But for the X7, out in May, Nokia have tweaked it and given it a new name – Anna (great name obv).
Similar to the X6 in looks with its tapered ends and metallic finish, it also features a super high-end camera – 8 megapixels and a bright double LED flash. It has a OLED screen, shoots high-resolution video and will play back high res video and images.. It looks like a nice piece of machinery.
However reports filtering through confirm that the the changes to Symbian are – at best – superficial and that even the attractive new name doesn’t change the fact that this is still a fiddly operating system that requires time and concentration to master.
The Nokia X7 should hit UK shelves in Q2 so expect it any time in the next two months…

How one man learned the hard way about keeping electronics in his pocket and turned it around in to a positive. He showed me what looked like the remains of his camera. Except, when my friend put the camera together as it was, the built-in flash wouldn't light up.

One of the best phone cameras on the market
Great unbiased review thanks
8mb is brilliant but not sure about the rest of the phone
I’m sticking to my iphone
But the design is not so good
8mp is brilliant
Thanks for providing this article,Thank you for sharing the information.I like it very much.it is very useful for me.
Great Design i like screen shot in your post.
nice design but it would surely be another FAIL by nokia
i am waiting for WP7 powered nokia phones, because the rest of them just suck!
It really goes to show how versatile and good symbian truely is. Even if it operates in a more detailed manner than iOS. I being a programmer would never go for apple. I would definately pick Nokia with it’s powerful symbian software and samsung which use the same OS coding. I knew Nokia would make it back. With 40 new phones and at least 1GHZ promised. And with Microsoft’s support. Nokia and Android will dominate the market globally very soon. In fact in my country most people are going for Nokia. And friends of mine prefer Nokia to the Apple corps products.
Good for Nokia! Keep the prices low and the competition hotter!
