Smartphones To Look Out For

The mobile market is booming right now, but as expectations from users get higher all the time, it seems like manufacturers are working overtime to bring out bigger and better handsets. Plus let’s not forget, the onslaught of the Tablet is at hand so mobile phones are going to have to work overtime. But here are a few of the handsets that I’m looking forward to seeing before the year is out.

Nokia E7

The Nokia E7 is the latest in Nokia’s, for a long time quiet but nevertheless famous, Communicator series. Of course it looks nothing like a traditional Communicator but it’s a new age phone, so a new style has evolved. From sleek looks to a large touchscreen and QWERTY keypad, could this be an alternative to a netbook/tablet? I’d like to know what you think. The only drawback is that it has no room for extra memory although 16GB does seem like enough. Like the N8, the E7 also comes with a scratch resistant display, plenty of connectivity options and a grand old ARM 11 680 MHz processor with the addition of a separate 3D Graphics HW accelerator.

Here’s a quick look at the new Communicators specs -

• 4-inch AMOLED (Polarized) touchscreen display (scratch resistant) with a 360 x 640 pixel resolution

• slide out WERTY with propped up display

• 3G (HSDPA, HSUPA), EDGE/GPRS, Wi-Fi

• GPS with A-GPS (Ovi Maps)

• Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, micro USB (2.0)

• 8MP camera, dual LED flash, 720p video recording, smile detection

• FM radio

• Dolby Digital Plus

• HDMI Out/Composite Out

• 16GB internal memory

• 3.5mm handsfree socket
