QUOTE(jeycjy @ Jan 8 2011, 02:37 PM) I bought C7 last week, and it seems ok and i am pouring more love on it everyday goes on. So far the problem would be Ovi Store. It need settings. Else like signed games it installed and play without problem. Camera only as average but the 720p video recorder is superb. Will recommend it if anyone wanna buy 1. Mine is Mahogany Brown Zitron set Depends on your need la. Criticism is not intended to make phone owner looks bad, instead it shall be taken as feedback to further enhance and improve usability.Added on January 8, 2011, 2:41 pmDon't care much on what android and iOS user reviews ba. Juz that C7 has its own advantages . I have met many many smartphone user who treat their phone just like normal phone. They aint really interested in anything else but GPS, some games, camera and sound loudness (instead of quality). For me, I wanna tried it all out. I just tried out HD7 in Maxis center and think its kinda great, but really need some time to get used to. Not something for one who was not willing to learn and explore. Different ways of doing things may yield different result. Nokia aint really a company who's willing to bet their sales for something totally NEW, at least for the moment. Unlike MS who has nothing to lose, Nokia stake is much higher which is why they are taking each step slowly. Nokia phone owner really goes from 8~80years old which is why they are a bit sceptical in a total usage change. |

Surprisingly, the double spacebar bug still there with the default browser in landscape mode. I guess nothing much to expect from N8 PR1.1 then.

QUOTE(HexPhoenix @ Jan 21 2011, 05:26 AM) Nokia Rangers reporting in with C7.... but due to mistake during update update, radiance sent it to my house instead of my location right now. So then maybe during CNY then testing this phone. Kekeke... same old contract and contribute in forum...Rangers, the condition of terms and agreement still same wth N8 or there's a new one? Why they do give us this new phone? Im surprised by the number of owners of C7. Its not bad compared to N8. If only Nokia bundled in an auto focus lens, then it shall help. I like them being slim, even slimmer than my HTC Legend. The shinning black looks really good. Very much prefer the 'centered' HOME button compared to N8. |

QUOTE(PyOsE @ Jan 21 2011, 11:58 AM) C7 user reporting in.. Mine also did not come with Bluetooth headset. Check the letter hanging on the side of the box. It did not mention bluetooth headset in it. I think they were running out of stock thus a few of us did not get it.i just realize that my package doesn't come with the bluetooth headset (after i saw Leo's unboxing pics)... even i rarely use it, don't you think i should file a report? either to Nokia or Citylink? However, seeing the bluetooth headset, I really dont think I need it. These type of hanging one really not comfortable for me cos I'm wearing spec. I had a Cliptec Vibrate which I rarely used nowadays because it put extra strain on the already poor battery life on my HTC Legend. |

Did N8 had noise cancellation? I dont think so rite? I tested it today when I was at my customer side. Metal stamping, hammer noise, welding noise, lorry vrooming, and lots of people talking but my wife on the other side, say are you in your car? So clear.... LOL
+1 C7... hehehe... |

QUOTE(doomx @ Jan 21 2011, 06:43 PM) I didnt know that it comes with the BT headset. Reading the contents of the letter BT is not included. They did give me a battery pack though. Lol. Everyone get the mobile charger I think... only bluetooth low on stock I think.Does not matter if you dont need it (dont tell me you wanna sell for profit)... |

QUOTE(ViRaViRa @ Jan 22 2011, 02:47 AM) Somehow I am more impressed with the Nokia C7 compared to Nokia N8. Am I biased? Haha... if you are not fancy of the camera, you dont need the dinasaur N8...Btw, how long does your battery last after a full charge? Mine has still 30% left after about 26 hours. Below is my usage : - WiFi 2 hour - music player 4 hour - running on 2G - calls about 15 mins - 10 smses - 2 app downloads - GPS navigation about 1 hour ++. (GPS is very good. It detects almost instantly (maybe about 3-4 sec) without data usage. You guys usage so low meh? I never really gotten any of my recent phones (Legend, 5800, N8, C7) pass 10hrs mark le, of course unless I leave it there to idle without ever touching it... Added on January 22, 2011, 7:35 amNokia should just abandon their proprietary 2.5mm charger for USB charging instead. I have 4 phones now and 3 of them does USB charge. Only C7 cant. So troublesome... This post has been edited by andrekua: Jan 22 2011, 07:35 AM |

QUOTE(ping0613 @ Jan 23 2011, 01:21 PM) wow..good. waiting your nice review man. Do Nokia even have a choice? What would happen to the sales of the C7 and E7 if they drop N8 prices? If they bring down the price difference to about RM200 or less, N8 would be the very obvious choice. You still get everything, plus you have got HDMI out, BIG SENSOR 12MP mini DSLR and slightly better accessories with N8. The only thing N8 dont have would be noise cancelling effect for calls. my fren tempted to buy N8, but the price is stable like rock, no drop. |

Battery life more or less just same like N8 for me. It also got the same problem like N8, which is inaccurate battery indicator.
This also bring another strange phenomenon with the mobile charger. Both N8 and C7 charging work okay with USB but when using 2mm port, it wont charge at all. This post has been edited by andrekua: Jan 24 2011, 12:50 AM |

QUOTE(PyOsE @ Jan 24 2011, 04:24 PM) have u guys try the loud speaker on C7? my friend call me on my C7, i turn it to loud speaker but he didn't notice the surrounding sounds at all.. it's like talking through he phone itself.. This I already confirm last week. must be the "Active noise cancellation" function.. I did not test N8 handwriting when I got it, but just get to test it with C7. An improvement with prediction and auto spacing. |
