It's already available on WIND Mobile in Canada and it looks like another carrier will be getting it: Videotron. Mobile Syrup's tipsters have informed them that they plan to launch the Nokia C7 soon. The C7 features a 3.5-inch display, an 8MP camera, WiFi / Bluetooth support, a microSD card slot, and Symbian^3.

Today isn't just HTC's day, Nokia announced two new handsets today as well as Symbian "Anna" which is an update for the N8, E7, C7, and C6-01 and will be the first of a few more updates to the outdated OS. In brief, the Anna update will have new icons, a better browser, a new version of Ovi Maps, a portrait QWERTY keyboard, and "real" homescreen scrolling. Let's get back to the devices, shall we?

First up we'll talk about the Nokia E6 which is above. It's a portrait QWERTY keyboard packing handset and it's, obviously, their best one so far. It packs a 2.46-inch VGA (640 x 480 resolution) touchscreen display (326ppi), an 8MP camera with a dual-LED flash and 720p HD video recording, 8GB of storage, a microSD card slot, GPS, WiFi b/g/n support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a 1,500mAh battery, and Symbian Anna. This one will be available in Q2 in black, silver, and white. I'd still rather wait for a Bold Touch but the choice is yours.

Next up is below and it's the Nokia X7 which has leaked many times before. This one packs a 4-inch AMOLED display, an 8MP camera with a dual-LED flash and 720p HD video recording, a microSD card slot, 1GB of ROM, Bluetooth 3.0 / WiFi b/g/n support, a 680MHz CPU, and Symbian Anna. This will also be available in Q2 for €380 ($547 USD) unlocked. They're both pretty interesting handsets, but I'm still waiting on their first Windows Phone 7 one.

As expected, the Nokia C7 is now available on T-Mobile USA as the Astound. This handset features a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display, an 8MP camera, a front-facing camera, quad-band UMTS/WCDMA connectivity, and Symbian^3. This one's available right now for $79.99 on a 2-year contract so you can check it out on T-Mobile.

If you're looking to get the best thing from Nokia right now then look no further than the Symbian^3 based E7. This one's available and shipping from Amazon right now if you're willing to pony up $649 for it. This handset features a 4-inch Clear Black AMOLED display (360 x 640 resolution), an 8MP camera with a dual-LED flash, a front-facing camera, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 16GB of internal storage, 1GB of ROM, 256MB of RAM, Bluetooth 3.0 / WiFi b/g/n support, a 680MHz CPU, and pentaband 3G connectivity.

Bell has just released their latest Symbian^3 based handset, the Nokia C6-01.

We already know that Bell plans to launch the Nokia C6-01 soon and it'll cost you $279.95 contract-free. But, how about if you want to sign onto this handset for a long term? Well, Mobile Syrup's tipsters have just informed them that this handset will be free on a 3-year contract, $229.95 on a 2-year contract, and $254.95 on a 1-year contract. There's no way that we can confirm this right now but their tipsters are extremely reliable.

Yet another Nokia device has leaked and it's the T7-00. Unfortunately, it's probably just another Symbian^3 device and not a Windows Phone 7 or even a tablet. This device reportedly features a 360 x 640 resolution which is right on pace with their latest and greatest phones so you can expect it to fly under the radar. Who knows when or if this device will hit the market.

[Slash Gear]

It's finally official. The Nokia C7 will be launching as the Astound for $79.99 on a 2-year contract on April 6th. This handset features a 3.5-inch AMOLED display, an 8MP camera that records 720p HD video, a microSD card slot, a front-facing camera, and Symbian^3. T-Mobile will let you do WiFi calling with this handset which is pretty awesome if you're in the house and would rather use your own bandwidth over your carrier's minutes.

3 UK may have just leaked some juicy information regarding some upcoming smartphones. Apparently, Samsung is prepping a Galaxy S2 Mini for the future and the launch is reportedly set for April on the carrier. Specs are going to include a 3.7-inch WVGA touchscreen display, a 5MP AF camera with an LED flash, a VGA front-facing camera, HSDPA connectivity, WiFi n / Bluetooth support, GPS, a 1.4GHz CPU, WiFi hotspot capabilities, and Android "Gingerbread" with the Touchwiz UI. This is classified as a high-end handset and I'm actually looking to pick this one up because I really like 3.7-inch displays. Don't worry, there's more!

Moving along, it looks like the Symbian^3 based Nokia X7 - that won't be hitting AT&T anymore - will be headed to 3 UK this June, along with the LG Optimus 3D. In May you can expect the 7-inch HTC Flyer tablet and in June you'll be able to pick up a WiFi-only BlackBerry Playbook. Interesting stuff, I'm looking forward to them all!

TmoNews has just snagged the internal screenshot you see above and it shows the Symbian^3 powered Nokia C7. Ealier rumours state that this handset will be hitting T-Mobile USA very soon as the Nokia Tiger. Not exactly an attractive name but it's fierce. The price is unknown right now but it should be more than free on a 2-year contract - although that price does sound good.

3 UK tweeted it and it looks like it has just hit their Coming Soon page as well. The Nokia E7 running on Symbian^3 will be hitting the carrier next month - April. Price is unknown right now but there should be various contract options so you should be able to get it for free. 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.

It's been over a month since we've heard any news about the Nokia E6 but the photo above could be what you're looking for. This is the first picture of the Nokia E6 in the wild and it's definitely sporting a QWERTY keyboard as expected. Other rumoured specs involve a 640 x 480 resolution, Symbian^3, and wildly enough an 8MP camera on the back with a dual-LED flash. These are all unconfirmed right now but maybe Nokia will be unveiling this one in a few weeks - possibly when MWC is going on.

[Engadget]

So much for AT&T launching the Symbian^3 based Nokia X7 soon. The WSJ is reporting that Nokia has reportedly cancelled the handset's launch because of the lack of the right subsidies and marketing that the carrier was going to do. Oh well, we're sure only a few people will miss this one in all honesty. With the iPhone 4 and the slew of awesome Android devices that the carrier will be launching soon, it doesn't really matter.
