This handset is actually quite good on the spec sheet, sporting: a 4-inch touchscreen display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 16GB of internal storage, a 680MHz CPU, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 3.0 support, a front-facing camera, and an 8MP camera with a dual-LED flash and 720p HD video recording.

Nokia has just announced something great for those of you who pre-ordered their Symbian^3 based E7 smartphone. The good news is that it's shipping right now, but only to "select markets" which include the UK. This handset is the best thing that the company has ever crafter with a 4-inch display, an 8MP rear-facing camera, 16GB of internal storage, and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard; the only thing bringing this smartphone down is the OS so hopefully you'll be able to put up with it.

Now that the holiday season is just about over, your wallet should be looking pretty dry at this point.

3 UK has just announced that they'll be releasing the Nokia E7 in January 2011. Unfortunately, the price hasn't been mentioned yet so we'll have to wait for those details to trickle out. The E7 is definitely one of the best phones that Nokia has ever made with a 4-inch Clear Black AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, an 8MP camera with 720p HD video recording, and the Symbian^3 OS. Other specs include a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 3.5mm headphone jack, 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 3.0 support, a 680MHz CPU, aGPS, and an HDMI output. It'll be one of the best phones to hit the market, and could be Nokia's saviour device before Symbian^4 comes into play.

According to what Mobile Syrup is hearing, the Nokia E7 will be hitting Canada in early Spring 2011. The rumoured carrier right now is Rogers, but the price and exact release date is still unknown. The E7 is quite the Symbian^3 smartphone and will likely be the best one when it hits the market. It features a 4-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth 3.0 / WiFi b/g/n support, 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, 256MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, a 3.5mm headphone jack, an 8MP AF camera with a dual-LED flash and 720p HD video recording, and HDMI output.

Of course, this will have access to the Ovi Store which will give you a few apps.

This Symbian^3 powered smartphone has hit the FCC with the pentaband 3G connectivity that every company should be picking up on.

Nokia has just announced something great if you're a fan of the company. This slider packs the fairly new Symbian^3 OS and will begin shipping on December 10th. As usual, the shipping dates will vary depending on where you are in the world so don't hold your breath on that date.

Live at Nokia World, the company announced three of their upcoming smartphones right off the bat. The first two are above, the Nokia C6-01 and the C7. The other one is below and it's the E7 that has leaked out many times but more on that later. Getting back on track, the C6-01 sports a 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen ClearBlack Display (CBD, for short) along with an 8MP camera with a dual-LED flash and 720p HD video recording which should take gorgeous photos. The C7, on the other hand, sports a 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, 8GB of internal storage, and a 10.5mm thin stainless steel body. Both of these smartphones will be shipping with Symbian^3 in Q4 of this year for €260 ($334 USD) and €335 ($430 USD), respectively.

Next up is the Nokia E7. This smartphone packs a 4-inch touchscreen display, an 8MP camera with a dual-LED flash and 720p HD video recording, 16GB of internal storage, and, obviously, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard which tilts similar to their N97 line-up. This smartphone will be hitting the market before the end of the year (sometime in Q4) for €495 ($ USD).

Reuters has got some good news for the Nokia lovers out there. The company's next flagship device, the Nokia E7, will be getting unveiled at Nokia World which will take place on September 14th to 15th next week. We've heard about rumoured specs so far but nothing seems to be confirmed besides the fact that it has a touchscreen display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and the Symbian^3 OS. Price and release date haven't been mentioned so let's hope Nokia announces everything we need to know.

A roadmap from the UK has just been leaked out for the whole world to see. This roadmap tells us a bunch of new handsets that the UK will be getting and all of them haven't even been officially announced yet. Coming from Omio, the first handset is the HTC Vision and the HTC Ace. The first handset may have already been leaked a couple of days ago and it's said to feature a 3.7-inch WVGA touchscreen display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and a 1GHz CPU. We know nothing about the Ace right now, but it's hopefully running Android.

The next handset is the HTC Gold which is looking like it's just a codename for an upcoming Windows Phone 7 device. This handset is likely going to feature a WVGA touchscreen display, a 1GHz CPU, and at least a 5MP camera (those are all standard WinPho 7 requirements).

In November, folks in the UK can expect the Nokia E7 which could actually be the N9 / C0 / N8-01 that keeps on leaking out. This handset is sporting a 4-inch AMOLED display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and Symbian^3.

There's also talks of a new Samsung Android device in the works, dubbed the I8700 "Cetus." I'm going to assume that this will be a part of their growing Galaxy Series and it shouldn't be as high-end as their I9000 Galaxy S handsets.

For UK release dates, in July (later this month) they should be getting the Nokia E5-00, the Sony Ericsson W20, and the Samsung I5500. In August, they're getting the Nokia X6 8GB along with the BlackBerry Curve 9300. In September, there's the Sony Ericsson Hazel and the Nokia X2. In October, you can expect the HTC Vision, the HTC Ace, the Nokia N8, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, and the SE Yendo.
