14 DAY TRIAL // It looks like Nokia and Rogers plan to release the latest X7 Symbian Anna smartphone in Canada some time in the summer.
Although the carrier has yet to confirm that it has picked the Nokia X7, it appears that the guys over at MobileSyrup have been tipped about the imminent launch of the handset.
Introduced in mid-April, along with Nokia E6, the X7 is expected to be delivered with Symbian Anna on board, the latest iteration of the operating system.
Nokia X7-00 features one of the largest AMOLED 4-inch capacitive touchscreens included onto a Nokia device and supports 16 million colors and 360 x 640 pixels resolution.
The screen is protected by Gorilla glass display and features proximity sensor for auto turn-off and accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate.
Even though the smartphone is powered by a 680 MHz ARM 11 processor, complemented by a Broadcom BCM2727 graphics processing unit, it is not the most powerful device announced by Nokia.
In this regard, the Finnish handset manufacturer announced a few days ago its most powerful MeeGo smartphone, the N9, which is equipped with a single core TI OMAP 363 processor clocked at 1GHz speed, complemented by a PowerVR SGX530 GPU.
Nokia X7 packs a standard amount of memory: 256 MB RAM, 1 GB ROM, as well as microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB, 8GB card included).
The device boasts a superior 8-megapixel camera with fixed-focus, dual-LED flash, face detection and video recording capabilities (720p@25fps).
Unlike the E6 that comes with a secondary VGA front-facing camera for video calls, the X7 lacks this capability.
When it comes to connectivity, Nokia X7 is an all-rounder and offers users a wide array of options such as: HSDPA (10.2Mbps) and HSUPA (2.0Mbps) support, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and 3.0 with A2DP connectivity, microUSB with on-the-go support and GPS with A-GPS support.
The X7 comes bundled with Ovi Maps, as well as several exciting games, including Galaxy on Fire HD and Asphalt 5 HD.
