Whether it’s a burning platform or not, we will continue to see many phones to come with Symbian in the future. Right now, we have the Nokia X7 for the multimedia enthusiasts and Nokia E6 for the business minded. Nokia announced both on Tuesday along with the long awaited Symbian^3 update, now called Symbian Anna (aka PR2), and these two will be the first phones to ship with it.
The X7 is a 4 inch AMOLED touchscreen slab with Gorilla Glass, 8MP camera with dual LED flash and 720p video. You get an 8GB microSD card in the box and Galaxy on Fire HD and Asphalt 5 HD preloaded, so its clearly aimed at gamers. The E6 is the classic E series form with a portrait QWERTY and a small 2.46 inch VGA touchscreen, the same 8MP fixed focus camera as the X7, 8GB onboard memory, and Nokia claims upto 28 days standby which is huge !!
Anna brings new icons, a faster browser, a portrait QWERTY on screen keyboard with split screen input and a refreshed Ovi Maps. If you own an N8, E7, C7 or C6-01, the update is coming to you over the coming months. Nokia says the E6 should cost around 340 euros and the X7 380 euros before taxes, both shipping in Q2. We will let you know once we hear about Indian pricing, so stay tuned.
