Nokia E7
 

Can people tell me more about this phone. Just saw a TV ad it looks nice with the slide out keyboard as I hate touch screen.

How does it compare with the N900? Does it run all the emulators the N900 does??

E7 it's symbian , N900 it's maemo , and is just like this :D

Unless its coded for Symbian. Otherwise "No". There are a lot of emulator for symbian though. If you can give the exact emulator then it would be easy to answer ur question.

Pistol = light, accurate, easy to use, doesn't need a lot of ammo

Gatling Gun = wasteful, heavy, lumbering, inaccurate

Hmmm. ;)

Re: Nokia E7
 

forget about psx emu, or n64. but i think that it emulates SNES and those kind of emu's.

Re: Nokia E7
 

Thats about all the N900 does as well really.

PSX and N64 on N900 is really not very good. The N900 even struggles to emulate the Gameboy Advance which I think is criminal. Even the N97 and the N95 can properly emulate the GBA.

I love the N900, don't get me wrong. But it's not really any good for games. Lets be realistic.

Re: Nokia E7
 

I lol'd.
Add "But when it starts firing God help you if you're in its way" to the Gatling gun and you've got the n900 down pat.

Errrm, say what now?

WebOSGames Manager

All the games available on WebOS are available for the N900 :)

Re: Nokia E7
 

They have a really small game catalogue then.. :)

Re: Nokia E7
 

I think the E7 looks very nice. I may consider getting it only IF something happened to my N900.

Re: Nokia E7
 

Very true.

But the Gatling gun has a LOT more firepower. It really is pretty accurate description.

Re: Nokia E7
 

I think sir JamesBond@ge was just trying to have some fun (and being funny) with that perspective. We all know how powerful the N900 is. I would think it's more like this...

Re: Nokia E7
 

Unwieldy, nearly impossible to pocket... and without enough ammo to last the whole day? ;)

Re: Nokia E7
 

hmmmm...great minds think alike?

Re: Nokia E7
 

It has an 8mp camera, HD, slide out keyboard, looks slimmer and sexier than the N900.

I like my N900 for the emulators, scumm, mame, amiga, C64, snes, megadrive, webos, dosbox, etc

If the E7 does them well I am tempted

Re: Nokia E7
 

Re: Nokia E7
 

No problem, i also think the same. There aren't many games out there for N900, but there are some good ones.

However, it really shines in web browsing, which was one of my priorities. (it may not "render" the page as fast as android, but it's so smooth and easy to use when you compare to, for example, Galaxy Tab)

Re: Nokia E7
 

True , but you can't compare the fun you have with a minigun . :D

Re: Nokia E7
 

Not really. I wouldnt call their catalogue small at all. Also webOS is commerically supported meaning its gonna keep getting more games.

Re: Nokia E7
 

I dunno, mario64, ocarina of time, majoras mask and quite a few other work well on n64, and there are also loads of playable games for the psx emulators now too, I was loving tenchu stealth assasin before the dreaded usb fault struck...

Re: Nokia E7
 

Multitasking just can't be beat on Maemo. It's SOO simple and easy to use. Multitasking on Symbian is clunky and needs more presses and slides to get the job done. Maybe they will fix this when they release that update they've been talking about for 6 months, but right now, the N900 does it all. The E7 is very nice looking, but I'm sure after a short while, you'll miss the user interface of Maemo. And for $650, I'd consider it very carefully! :)

Re: Nokia E7
 

Yep, like I say, a wobbly usb port has claimed mine for a while (hopefully) so I'm back on my n95 8GB. Not sure how far symbian has come since then but man am I missing my little microcomputer...

Re: Nokia E7
 

Just watched this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k549iMx3YHM

To be honest, I see nothing there that is not there already in the n900, bar the obvious size and camera improvements, and I see that the screen resolution is actually quite a bit lower than the screen on the n900...

Pah... Gimme an n900 in that form factor and I'll be all over it..

Re: Nokia E7
 

Wow just finished reading through Tomi Ahonen's thoughts on the Nokia E7: http://communities-dominate.blogs.co...-that-cou.html

Boy does he sounds dissapointed! And this is a hardcore Nokia and Symbian fan in my eyes eventhough he claims he is not. But goddamn he makes some great points on why the E7 is a regression in so many ways.
