Nokia reveals three new Symbian handsets: C6, C7, E7
|

Anssi Vanjoki, the recently resigned executive vice president of Nokia, has revealed a triplet of new Nokia phones at the company’s Nokia World conference in London.

The devices are all Symbian smartphones. Nokia has apparently sold 300 million Symbian devices since the 7650.

The Nokia C6 is a touchscreen blower with an eight-megapixel camera and access to Nokia’s Ovi Store. It’s also got a tech-heavy display that gives off super black blacks and even uses less power.

The Nokia C7 is slimmer than the rest, and puts its focus on social networking by chucking your Facebook and Twitter pals right on the home screen. It also comes in lovely colours like Rose, Plum, and Frosty Metal.

Finally, the Nokia E7 is a follow up to the Communicator. It’s a business phone, with a big four-inch touchscreen and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. You’ve got the Ovi Store for apps, and Microsoft will be collaborating for business based downloads.

And of course, the Nokia N8 - the company’s iPhone it could be said - is still getting ready for release. That one has an obscene 12 megapixel camera, HD video out, and a beefy processor. "Right now, on my N8, I've got 25 apps open at the same time,” said Vanjoki.
