Windows Mobile Phones

Nokia E7

Nokia business phones were originally sold under the ‘Communicator’ series and for most of the time, they were not well-received because those phones were too bulky and pricey, despite offering some of the best features of its time. However, with the recent success of the E series, Nokia seems to have found a formula to make the high-end business phones a success too, and armed with that success comes the new Nokia E7.

The Nokia E7 does not have the two keyboards like the Communicator models or the full QWERTY keyboard that took up most of the space in the previous E series phones like E72 and so on. Instead, the Nokia E7 offers a 4 inch touch screen display and the full QWERTY keyboard is hidden underneath it. The keyboard slides out in the landscape mode should you have the need to use it. Otherwise, the phone is pretty much dominated with the huge screen that has the AMOLED technology, along with a few hardware buttons to activate the camera and the volume keys.

The camera, which can be activated by the dedicated camera key in the side of the phone, is an 8 megapixel one and it can shoot videos in great details because it supports 720p HD video recording. The phone features 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity for faster internet browsing. This is particularly useful when you want to watch the National Geographic or CNN channels using the phone’s WebTV application. The phone also lets you watch YouTube videos directly without any other application. It also has an internal GPS receiver that offers free lifetime navigation with Nokia’s very own Ovi Maps.

The price for all these features is a meagre ?584.99 when the phone will be launched in the UK early next year with some very competitive phone deals.

One of 2 main designers of Windows Phone 7 Series is a secret iPhone user

He doesn’t get dirty with Windows Mobile, he is using iPhone. Why should you buy Windows Phone if he isn’t even using such stuff? (and we mean: in private, not that whole show for the public)

Recently, after announcement of Windows Phone 7 Series, he has left the closet, i.e. stepped into the limelight and created even special public twitter account for spreading positive propaganda about Windows Phone 7 Series… but his private Twitter account reveals: he is a secret iPhone user.

Whom we are talking about? No, it is not Joe Belfiore – the main honcho of Windows Phone 7 Series, it’s Charlie Kindel – the guy responsible for software development thingies (tools, APIs, etc?) in Windows Phone 7 Series.

See for yourself: his private secret Twitter account, where you can see “iPhone: …, …” in his account proving that he’s an iPhone user. Note: we have more proof than just Twitter that he is using iPhone secretly but we are not revealing these proofs on purpose.

Shame on you, Charlie Kindel! Maybe instead of using iPhone you could bring native software development to Windows Phone 7 Series, instead of pushing on developers .NET tech (like XNA and Silverlight) that doesn’t provide protection of intellectual property (i.e. can be decoded easily with free tool even by preschoolers)?
