  • Good phone really !thanks Nokia.

  • I love my C7, but it's a little outdated now and I'm looking for something new. Nothing else looks as sturdy and dependable as this one, and I'll be sad to eventually see it go.

  • i had buyed nokia c7 over 2 years ago and was working well buy 3 days ago its display was not working properly so i had to change it and after changing it it stated well and after 1 min it shows crazy things on display and freezes

  • i lv z phone but z problem is i can't downlode viber and whatsapp what shall i do?

  • This a nice devise, where can I buy one, and what is a cost? Please I have been looking all over , but no one has stock. I'm in Durban

  • I accidentally removed QuickOffice from my Nokia Astound, how can I get it back in any way? Tried to look for any free download but none worked. What are the specs of a specific file that I have to download?

  • yess you can upgrade it!!

  • how its amoled display costs?

  • Its a great phone ! I hav been using this phone for over 2.5 yrs... its great... had no prob with the mob.. except for i drop the mob frm a great height and had to change the display... except for it i hav nt spent a penny more... the battery backup is decent... I keep using my phone.. surfing.. chatting round the clock and charge it once everyday... speakers are gud enuf for sound quality... 8mp camera hass gud pic clarity too... Unlike other users (reading the review) I did nt face any prob lik slowing/freezing of the mob...

  • i wish i have this phone

  • My cousin will give me a c7 but its from germany , how can i use this here in the phillipines ? And can i upgrade it to a belle OS

  • going to get it tommorw

  • Thanks, i accept with u, i buy this, yet symbian is better that ios and and'roid

  • can we upgrade this phone..?

  • Very Nice phone

  • I luv my n c7. I got it for couple yrs and its great. Dont upgrade software if u do u will have problems. I luv Maps, FM transmiter, Great video recorder. A lot more..

  • STOP! If you are reading this and have not bought this phone yet, then DON'T!!! On the good side, this phone is very pretty. It's also a great size and fits nicely in the hand. The camera's not the best, but it still takes reasonable photos - just don't expect masterpieces. The music player is also ok. The best feature, in my opinion, is Nokia Maps. It's really quite good and, I think, a lot better than Google Maps for on the go. Also, the "Car Mode" thing is really very handy - good work there. Sadly, it's not all good news. For starters, internet browsing - even over wifi - is rubbish. It's so slow, I sometimes feel it'd be faster to break the phone open, use the camera lense like MacGyver and light some dry tinder, build a big fire and send smoke signals to people, in order to get information. Very slow. And that's not all! This phone is unbelievably slow, freezes multiple times daily, and not only that... it also restarts itself multiple times daily - seemingly at random! And before some monkey tries to imply that I need to reformat my phone or I have too many apps installed etc etc, rubbish. I've factory reformatted several times - it's only a very temporary solution. "Nokia Belle" is just a bad operating system. Period. This is, without a doubt, simply the worst phone I have ever had the misfortune to own. Sad really, considering Nokia used to be reliable. In summary: this phone is bad and Nokia should feel bad.

  • etar priz kmn hobe? etay skype n vidio cll ase to?

  • Good phone, best:Double charging port(2mm and USB) Style,screen resolution,FM transmiter,GPS,HD720 video recorder,battery live. Poor:Full focus camera,NON customizer EQUALIZER(like nokia 5800) Software freeze in all editions(Symbian 3, ANNA and Belle) averiable processor(680m vs 1,300 on nokia 701, the c7 twins)My score on c7 8.5 of 10

  • Goog phone, i have this c7 over 6 month's and it's great. Problem whit the youtube videos it's solved: Go to aplication manager, videos and set internet connection. that's it...;)

  • looks good but can use youtub or document file plz give the your opion

  • c7 mobile is best

  • Impressive phone and feature very similar to E6. Can documents be edited in quick office in this? Specifications only mentions it as doc viewer, hence the question.

  • its a very good handset,also its looking very nice.and the features are also veryh good.....

  • its a very good handset,also its looking very nice.and the features are also veryh good.....

  • really a great phone metallic accent makes it a very classy phone - feels luxurious and nice in your hand (unlike samsung ugly cheap plastic phones) note that nokia used it as a platform for oro phone see here long battery life 4 days with average use fast interface (lags never occur) gorgeous AMOLED screen (full RGB pattern not the cheap pentile samsung used in s1 and s3) 6 home screens can be customized by widgets and function buttons / contacts free life time voice turn by turn navigation much much better and accurate than garmin and sygic - no free voice turn by turn navigation in any android garmen Navigon costs around 40 $ in play store and apple store and you need to buy additional life traffic for 15$, you will get a better navigation for free in nokia c7 plays all flash video sites not only youtube NFC sharing and support nfc games (comes with nfc bounce and free NFC angry bird magic is exclusively available for it in ovi store) very fast wifi with N band - bluetooth 3.0 works in all networks in the world (both GSM and american CDMA) radio FM transmitter to listen to phone music or navigation from your car radio or any other radio (superb feature not found in any android or iphone or wm phone) high quality music output if you used it with a good headset, better than any samsung in the market HD video camera with TV out function 8 mp full focus camera which is million times better than s2's 8 mp camera (unrivaled in distant shots but no macro mode, unfortunately) gameloft HD games works on it, angry birds, cut the robe, and lots of other HD games and normal games nokia provide you in the last belle update free full functions office 2010 word - excel - powerpoint - brocadast - lynch - mail exchange - one note you can use it for data show by broadcast app you can also download car mode app and camera panorama app which are pretty useful there are alot of nice quality apps and games in the ovi store, I don't know why everyone bash symbian for lack of apps - yes android has more apps but alot of android apps are of low quality extremly durable phone with gorilla glass display (can't be scratched even if you tried by a knife) see this video there are tons of other features I have no time to write about here get it now and you wont regret , you will be very happy all of this in a very reasonable price (1/2 the price of galaxy s2 in my country)

  • I am not able to get the difference on the display between C7 classic and C7 Astound has this protection glass display ? or is plastic same as for classic C7 ?!

  • It is best i like this it is better now and i m alrady using 1year c7 best hq phone

  • 701 has 1Ghz processor and ur c7 has 680Mhz processor. 701 is better

  • good to know that c7 is already updated to belle .. but its hard yo find here in the Philippines .. more stock please ..

  • Nice fon

  • C7 and 701 are practically the same phones, with the exception that the 701 comes with Belle OS, while C7 with Symbian^3 (which can be upgraded to Belle). Once C7 is upgraded to Belle it's the same phone. Same camera (the only thing I hate about the phone - fixed focus is 20th century!). Fantastic battery life, browsing with Opera is without a hitch. I love the C7, but I would get the N8 instead for a little more - the camera is light years ahead of the C7/701.

  • nokiya timea

  • dont choose this phone.There are certain complaint like turning off and music problem

  • y does it turn off?? it turns of for me

  • I'm not sure which phone should I buy, a Samsung phone or this one. what I hate about Nokia is that the app store hasn't got a lot of apps just like android and the problem with Samsung is that it's phones are made with cheap material.

  • I have had this phone for almost a year now and I hate it, after having it for about 4-5 months it started acting up and would constantly turn off by itself and the music player stopped working. But 5 months later the music player started working again and after several updates I have been able to get the phone to act like a phone.

  • 1.) Can I able to get "Seven" home screens after update Nokia Belle OS in Nokia C7 Astound. 2.) Yesterday one of my friend already bought Nokia 701 (Made in Korea), But It's comes with Internal storage is 4 GB, It's true or not, But gsmarena mention it's comes with 8GB. I'm confused with that. Please verify that ? 3.) Gsmarena site mention (Nokia Belle) software make this thing effective 1 GHz ARM11 (1.3GHz after update) How it's happen ? Are there in different qualities of budget mobiles for different countries ? Explain me ? 4) What did you think about sound quality both C7 & 701? ? 5) I have experience about Nokia 701 mobiles purchased my friends from two different countries. But Made by Korea mobile cannot text (sms) directly from call record list, But made by Nokia mobile can ? I'm plan to buy this model because price are same. But Nokia 701 have got LED-backlit IPS TFT. But when I'm comparing the Processor, Corning Gorilla Glass, AMOLED capacitive touch screen and all stuff technology wise Nokia 701 is best. Any one suggest me Nokia C7 Astound or Nokia 701 is better. Price is only 20$ different. I want to purchase a one of them.

  • After I did upgrade to nokia belle ,nokia player cannot find videos on scan disk memory(memory card) it can find self memory videos but not memory card!!!it was good before but somethings is wrong now!

  • I flashed my C7 Astound on the day I got it to Belle OS and haven't had ANY problems with it ever since. It's a spiffy little OS - very satisfied with it (just wish it had autofocus instead of fixed). If Belle can run flawlessly on a 680MHz processor, it can handle anything.

  • you must to nokia care now.

  • in my nokia pc suite it shows my nokia c7 astound don't have the symbian belle update..what can i do to update to symbian belle ???

  • C7 is good. But if you have symbian anna on your mobile, never ever try to upgrade to new symbian belle. You will face many problem after update like tv out function will not work. ovi store gone and many more problems which will make you cry. So take my advise and DO NOT upgrade to SYMBIAN BELLE. Trust me i have been a victim.

  • Do not go for symbian belle update. It has so many bugs. You will face many problems like TV out function not working and other programs related problems. As for flv videos, they don't play normally but if you go to files-mass memory - videos, you can play flv videos there. I have tested it with my C7. Try with some small flv files.

  • I have the nokia astound c-7.... and it is the same as c7 just t-mobile calls it the astound..... I had to have the phone replaced 3 times because of screen freezing, switching, text messages not able to send and alot of other problems...

  • which brand is better nokia or samsung

  • astound is not advanced than C7............

  • My opinion is, that the Samsung Ace is a better choice. But that's personal. I don't really like the Symbian software, this because android and Apple OS are more advanced. I hope you make the best choice for yourself:)

  • does anyone else have this problem?i can't talk on my astound phone without hitting the camera botton and takeing a picture of my ear.too many buttons on the edges of phone to be able to hold while talking and not push the buttons need to redesign phone !!!!!

  • Stop being lazy people.

  • Just got it after my blackberry curve froze completely after 2 years by no fault of my own (interesting how exact timing when my contract was up) - Nokia is much better w/ a unix based operating system (symbian = freedom) and no slow startup, much more intelligent design and not slave to that dam bb browserr from hell!!

  • What advanced will be 4g ?

  • Hey, Nokia - Symbian... no Maemo... no Symbian3... no Windows. Look, update your operating system with something... and stick to it. Great hardware, but, after 7.5 years of Symbian, I'm defecting to Android. Keep up, mate.

  • Can some one tell me where I can get the Tmobile qik video chat app off this phone to put on the Nokia N8? I've been trying to find it everywhere but no such luck.....

  • I was really excited when I heard about this phone but am really disappointed with it processor speed 680Mb? all the new smart phones now have a minimum 800Mb processor several with the 1.1GB snapdragon

  • Some Nokia C phones have full-focus cameras, not fixed-focus, and C6-00 has an auto-focus camera.

  • all c series nokia phones have fixed focus cameras. that mean they loose the photo clarity when shooting closeups. thats a matter to consider

  • nth diff with c7 and c7 astound..

  • Dude!! They both have an internal memory of 350Mb and a mass phone memory of 8Gb!!

  • all nokia phones have only symbian whether b it a rs 1000 phone or 24000 phone...this is a crap company if this is considered...itz like buying a rs 50000 computer and installing windows 98 in it..itz all crap in nokia...go 4 latest ANDROID.

  • C7 Astound have 350MB internal storage, 8GB mass storage.. whereas C7-00 have 512MB internal storage, 8GB mass storage..

  • NO, Astound has 8GB storage too. Can't you read?

  • As i see, only differences between this device & C7 are OS & Internal Memory only.

  • nokia must change to android to get enter the smartphone arena

  • plssss....avoid it.....its time 4 android 2 rock no symbian plsss....

  • There is one big difference between C7 & Astound i.e Internal memory,C7 hv 8 GB and Astound hv only 350 MB.

  • If you spent a little bit of time and did read this page you'd have seen the answer already. It's there, six comments below this one.

  • hello everyone, is there a difference between C7 and c7 Astound? and how are the nokia touch screens??

  • will it work in europe if i decode it or not or it wont cause its a tmob phone?

  • Nokia is a company of crazy people who tend to sell old wine in new bottle ! What is the difference betwn nokia astound & nokia C-7?

  • Auto focus is better than fixed focus. However, the difference in picture quality will only be visible when the picture is zoomed (by atleast 4X).

  • Astound has a full-focus (EDoF) camera, not fixed-focus. Here are some articles explaining the differences:

  • pse can u tell me what is the difference between fixed focus and auto focus. which is better. thanks

  • Astound is for T-Mobile US, only. You can't buy it anywhere else. There are no hardware differences between C7 and Astound, except for the lack of 3G 1900MHz support, which isn't needed for T-mobile's spectrum. The only difference is that Astound comes with Anna update (PR2.0), pre-installed, though without the new icons.

  • what different between C7 and T C 7.

  • c7 has the problem of heating while usage,that problem was rectified in this model

  • T-Mobile USA exclusive: $300 full retail price or $80 with 2-year contract.

  • Difference is in the software itself. check on the link..

  • Go for E7 if you are a professional else N8 is great for multimedia and entertainement!!!!!

  • Go for N8 u will get all the advantages of the other phones in a much less price.Do u think there is much diff b/w Symbian 3 and Symbian Anna OS.Think and choose wisely

  • good phone while e6 is the best battery

  • I had bought this new device a week. It is very similar in use compared with N8. That version of Symbian runs smooth and pleasure. I don't see any great problem except the fixed focus. Why Nokia do it? I have a Samsung Galaxy S too but the poor GPS reeiver made me buy the C7 that fix the satts in less than 10 seconds. It's animal! But the other specs of Galaxy S are superb. But, Nokia, why fixed focus???? Why???

  • Almost the same hardware as E7 and N8 (except camera and storage) for cheap price. On Ebay you can buy it for $250 easy!

  • hey all, for a long time i was being suffocated in search of an awesome nokia touchscreen mobile. recently my brother sandeep tt.ss recommended gsm arena.com. through this site i found the awesome c7-astound and also understood that it is an amazing phone with all the features i wanted and also available at an affordable price.... this site as well as nokia c7 astound really really rockzzzzzzzzzzzz................................­......................

  • I have seen Astound and C7-00, Can Anyone on this forum let me know the fact-- Atleast what is the main difference between these 2..?

  • both are same set no difference

  • I want to buy phone Can u tell me which one is best between Nokia N8 ,Nokia X7, and Nokia E7?

  • This was another device I was seriously considering when looking at the small specs. In the hand, this phone phone felt wonderful with a solid feel to it. The love charm was broken though as I discovered that the 8mp camera (with dual LED flash no less), had no autofocus! I remember most Nokia phones were highly praised for their cameras and image quality that rivaled most point & shoot cameras, the Astound felt like a sharp stick in the eye. 8 megapixels of fuzzy photos that looked no better than my old BlackBerry 8310 produced. Video capture on the other hand was rather decent and on par with most current smartphones capturing at 720p. Focus however, was still a problem. I will admit that I don't have much experience with Symbian based phones but as I drilled through the menus and settings, it does show a bit of age like the BlackBerry OS but it's not so much of a bad thing. Longtime users will feel right at home looking at a fresh coat of paint. Overall, the Astound is a decent value, this phone would have been a grand slam if autofocus was added to the 8 megapixel shooter on the back. Nokia die hards looking for the best, look elsewhere. For the rest of us, the inviting price is a great plus wanting to make a move to smartphone territory. Pick it up and play to see if it "fits" for your needs if you're not looking for an Android or BlackBerry device.

  • i guess nokia is getting confused whats d different with all d C series

  • hi all, What is the diffrence between Astound and C7?i think its both are same.....pls answer it.........

  • what kind deffirent the nokia c7 and nokia astound?

  • Nokia is only good for nescent people oaveraging technology smart phone but lack of feature that you may need to inquire the hard way yourself. Some difficult are data either you buy it or download. But in a hardway see to it p if the phone facing camera make sure work okey ,the feature dual flash, you have to check that flashlight work as well .if you buy a phone like this ,think money worth a value.

  • nokia rokzz

  • Nokia touchscreens those of symbian^3 are amazing and interface-rich

  • Why should nokia will lunch another fixed foucus camera phone

  • Intel is establishing a joint innovation center with Tencent, one of china's largest internet firms, to develope products and servises around the chip maker's MeeGo mobile OS and devises using it Atom processor .,

  • if you wanna keep the data plan just buy it from tmobile it costs only 300 up front, its a decent phone, for the price u get what u pay for its all right

  • A last hope of nokia-Nokia n950. Please bring it quickly with amazoing technology and specification,because iphone5 is coming.

  • is this for real or was it an April Fools? ASTOUND?? Is it LG, or what? Thats too much ret@rded, i cant believe they wud use such a name for a phone. Plus the specs are crappy, and, another defective AMOLED screen on a Nokia??

  • its not so good,. one of the worst rated phones in the website and some fools claim they have bought it, its not even launched yet

  • the phone is nice

  • great mobile

  • how much?

  • are you serious?!?

  • my latest purchase was a big disappointment cos i was not aware the C7 cannot use pc suite. So i presume this astound also the same. Can anyone tell me which is the last nokia model that still uses pc suite ? damn shit !

  • t

  • i bought this device it was so good acording to features s^3 much faster than normal symbian..........

  • this phone is the best and this is my hope that i have a phone like this.

  • If you buy this phone w/the service plan through T-Mobile, it may only cost $80, but the $10/mo service plan limits you to 200mb per mo, so you might end up paying what other smartphone users pay - $30/mo just for data. If you buy the C7 on Amazon, you'll pay $380 upfront, but can keep your $6/mo unlimited data plan (if you already have one as i do). I'm not about to give up my unlimited data plan for $6

  • Very nice model but disadvantage is the no keypad

  • That sounds so so sad. I pitty you my friend.

  • I'm "astounded" by a fixed focus 8mp camera!

  • Superb):

  • 8mp fixed foxus shooter ??? c'mon that kind of shooter is almost useless!

  • It it the C7, try compare on this site and see for yourself. Only for America do you need to rename a product like this.

  • astound...what's going to be astounding is the price and the features you get for that price. Seems like nokia have got it into their heads lately that they are some kind of Apple v2.0 and if people keep on buying over-priced, slow nokia phones they'll just keep on supporting them. But hey, nokia makes the best phones, right? Once upon a time, they used to...

  • Nokia, your Symbian os is slow, not have a large app store, some times hangs, But as per me compared to android i love Symbian because i know it can be more better,

  • wats th difference frm c7?

  • Which one will happen first? Nokia going bankrupt or Nokia releasing Windows Phone?

  • everybody can decide which phone that they'll take for they use , dont force everybody to use android only .. let everybody feel free for choose better phone =) i just like for nokia ^^

  • itz Symbian 3.1 OS, dig dat sucker

  • he do some creative/impressive models,now the world is booming vth "android" try it team nokia...

  • oh it isnt astound its actually c7 ....... nokiaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! whyyyyy?

  • Umm why would they put Android in it if they Contribute for Symbian -__- Btw you have to wait there will be Nokia phone with WINDOWS 7!!

  • I had dream about nokia morph last night, nokia morph is the best phone i ever used. i wish the dream comes true.

  • well it a good smart phone,but nokia should comes with something bigger than this,start android.

  • well it a good smart phone,but nokia should comes with something bigger than this,start android.

  • Although Nokia is used to be the leading in mobile phones in history, but i have all the Nokia mobile phones which seldom give me problems unlike other brands. So Nokia, please buck up and pull up your socks real high cos i am waiting for a GOOD ANROID PHONE with BATTERY that can be removed easily by us consumers . Dun make me wait too long !!!!!! Please hurry up and come up with a good phone!!

  • Nokia is a famous phone company in de world,but one thing I don't know about dem is dat y should they be waiting bcos 2 me I xpect them 2 comes out with smth different than 2 be oscillating with one system or application i.e symbian

  • its not slow or lag .... the same as my N8 ... Running MP3 web pdf and ebook reader and gaming too ..all running at background and the phone dont lag a bit ... take any 1Ghz Android phone and just try !! u cant try cuz u will be pushing the power button to restart !!

  • Hey,guys don't worry Nokia is going to launch new format by their own that's MEGOO by Nokia so worry guys for a while be touch with Nokia's Symbian

  • Fxxx the Nokia La.......Still using the Outdated Symbian........ Please wake up your idea!!!! You have been a disappointment for so Long !!! People waiting for you to come out with Android Not Symbian ANYMORE !!!!!! Your Batch or Engineering MUST RETIRE Already still living in the Past !!!

  • I think symbian 3.0 or 3.1 does not give royal experience as android 2.2, as symbian is costlier and having limited software ,so we should AVOID purchase of the symbian 3 OS MOBILES. . .

  • dats vry true

  • mind blowing set

  • the differance the name!!!

  • yes i can ur devive just tell me yr country device model nd exact span of tym uve used it!!!

  • i dnt find any significant difference between nokia astound and nokia c7

  • Nokia is slow cause they dont know what to bring out that will drop jaws. They haven't even got an update ready for the F*&^% C6-00 phone with an shitty update that is stalling and erasing everything on the phone every few days. If they are listening to the clients they will help them even with the client with very old phones. Bringing out new phones in my opinion will also result in untested firmware and loads of complaints.

  • is there any information for the new Nokia c8

  • what is the difference btwn C7 and Astound ?

  • BS, they should release new phone with auto focus already if they were to do that.

  • They might be flooding us of new models with better technologies probably in a very near future.... A series of Tablets maybe.

  • i love nokia becz this is the company who always launching sexy pecies for whole world...

  • i love nokia handset becz nokia always knowing your customer demands & nokia is the best company for launching sexy pecies for whole world ...... And nokia always providing better facility ...for his cust ....... RAHUL ROOP SINGH BHADORIA

  • Nokia might be slower in launching new models compared to the other brands like Samsung, LG, HTC and Apple, but to me I believe that Nokia is actually taking each step carefully, observing the other brands in the market, then get the best specs from each models and create a real good smartphone. Nokia has always been one of the best leading brands in the mobile world and I believe it will get up real soon. Android is kind of leading the market now, with it's pretty UI and apps. But the one thing about Android phones are, they aren't really user-friendly. I'm working for LG, so I deal with LG phones every single day. I've got quite a number of customers who comes back to service their phones, 90% belongs to Android. This does not happens on LG only, same goes for Samsung and HTC. I don't see Nokia phones going wrong so often though. I've got a Nokia phone which has lasted me for 3 years. Can Android phones really last that long? You should know it better than anyone else, Android Fans.

  • nokia so slow ...

  • Is there anybody who would like to take my 60v5 device, i think i wasted my money as there neither useful applications nor its battery good. I wonder if same problem cont. with s^3.

  • what ís the differant between this one and c7! what does symbian 3.1 means?

  • sony ericsson leading the race when we talk on camera features..

  • iPhone battery life is terrible ! It can bearly last ONE day. My husband just got iPhone and very dissappointed. Also iPhone touch keypad - letters are so close to each other, it makes it difficult to select correct key when typing (only for tiny fingers)

  • please made a nokia phone that has 10 megapixels camera. so that i captures best quality pictures and video. under 10,000.00(ten thousand) bdt. taka.

  • this is my hearty request please made a nokia phone for who like capture photos and events. but the price is under 10,000.00 (ten thousand) bd. taka.

  • i m crazy about it....

  • This is just a re-branded C7. They gave it a cool sounding name in hopes of getting attention. I wonder if this is also affected by the purple screen defect?

  • Whats wrong to nokia , Dont find any thing innovative,Why Taking long time to Come with Even small Technical Groth. As Nokia is Completely into mobile World, Its really big shame for this. Learn From SAMSUNG, What is nokia's Thought behind Manufacturing C7 again with the name 'Nokia Astound'. going MAD. Learn From at least Sony.....Shame Shame

  • wow,finally nokia has release a new model,this is such a best phone ever!nokia rox!well done,forever with u =)

  • it's . is very nice handset.

  • My friend has a c7 and it is very fast. Why does everybody think that nokia phones are slow. Ibuy only nokia and they're great, cheap and good.

  • nokia n8 has already beaten iphone

  • Hey wait! This looks like the c8 concept. Haha. Very familiar indeed.

  • If this baby is as cheap or cheaper than the optimus one I'll definitely buy it.

  • GSMARENA! let this one through, please! Well there seems to be a lot of bias and prejudice out here: -No, symbian does not need 1 GHz to go around. C7 would not be a better phone with that spec. Just drain more battery. The same with the low amount of memory. Symbian is efficient. -It has a powerful GPU to back up for the above! -No, you cannot compare S60 (N97 etc) or whatever to S^3. Just as you don't compare Android 1.6 to 2.3 -Yes, today you have to update your phone in order to get the real exp. That goes for Android, iP and symbian. It just seems as symbian gets all the flames for its need of tweaks and fixes. Heres my review and experience of C7 compared with my friends and familys Android phones: Take 1 GHz Android of choice from same price class. Crank up mp3, www (with flash), open some office documents. Now do the same with C7. The check which one is lagging and which one runs out of juice first. Even on my old E series Nokia I can do this without hanging the phone. Then do a few drop and scratch tests. I know from experience that C7 will do good here. That´s why you by it. Yes, you might have a few hidden settings and a slightly lower res screen 8nothing you see from holding it at normal distance from your face. But thats it!

  • well, ever heard of development. Android needs its fixes all the time too and so does iP (whatever CAN be fixed in that OS...)

  • I use Nokia C7 and i don't see anything different from it

  • Ever tried the N97, what a POS. I still can't believe Nokia is putting out Symbian. Talk about beating a dead horse.

  • For anyone who says nokias latest phones are slow has obviously never used one, i have been using my E7 for the last 4 weeks and can say i have not experienced any lag and have'nt had any problems, nokia has really stepped up there game and i think people should really check out what they have on offer before judging... NOKIA FAN FOR LIFE!!!

  • So, really, what's the difference compared to C7?

  • its not official.. this phone pic of c7.guys....

  • Well its touch, then no keys. And it is not big, it fits perfectly in your hand.

  • Well I can believe that they use the same CPU. Because it is enough for CPU-efficient symbian and they have a GPU as well (G is for graphics...)

  • What's wrong with Nokia? Putting 8 megapixel camera on this device is a big "WOW". But having a FIXED FOCUS one makes me NOT want to buy it. I'd rather buy a phone with just 3.2mp but has AUTOFOCUS.

  • Hey Nokia! Why only built-in fm radio you included to your tech devices, i think it is great too if you add built-in a.m radio because sometimes I want to listen news especially local news in my country and also can you make your series 40 in a multi-tasking feature like a Sony Ericson.. THANKS! Sory for my bad english.

  • nokia company has gone mad no variety in handsets nor in specifications nor in features ........ Will surely end up bankrupting themselves !!!!!!!!

  • It´s the c7 or i´m crazy? the next step have been n8 mini or not?

  • I can't believe they are still running the same CPU as all their other phones meaning it will be just as slow. What will be "astounding" is the price. But hey, nokia makes the best phones, right?...

  • Hey Nokia Waaaaaaaaake up?!!!!!!!!!!

  • A fixed focus camera of 8mp sensor is totally meaning less, because a 5mp auto focus camera can produce much much clear photos than it. Moreover a fixed focus camera uses smallera lens than a auto focus camera, so low light performence is also become worse. So those who wants to use there mobile as a camera shouldn't think about this model. Rather by Nokia X6. Its 5mp AF camera produce so much clear photos, sometimes as clear as a digital camera. . . :-)

  • Nani are u their

  • this one has nfc chip but you have to activate it.

  • I'm aggree with you Stalker Lol! Nice to know you. Regards, ovgadget

  • The CPU is just as fast as it is needed to be: Symbian doesnt need a 1 GHz CPU. And it does have a powerful GPU. Just kick off a few apps and it will still do fine. GPS with free navigation. The cam takes some pretty good movie captures.

  • Symbian just spins so very well with less power. And it has a powerful GPU! That´s why. Take any 1 Ghz Android from the same price class as C7 and cranck up an mp3, a few webpages (with flash) and open some office and pdf files. Which one is lagging the most, and which one will run out of juice first? That´s how you measure it, not by babbling up the "empty" specs.

  • If you are living in US, astound should be better choice than normal C7...

  • no auto-focus no keys very big low res.

  • yeah i agree with you..those android trolls know just little of what symbian can do..symbian dowsn't need 1ghz processor and 512mb ram to run..unlike android, it needs a higher specs just to run the device..i think nokia symbian is still the most efficient smart phone than any other phones around..

  • The talk of the town doesn't mean anything that's just biased opinions from people themselves. If you have innovation then you can make it. Nokia hasn't even released their Meego device yet so we have to wait and see.

  • speaking of facts, nokia isnt dropping symbian os at all. Nokia chooses to use multiple os for its smartphone line up.

  • real copy of c7 .... befooling public

  • For Jack´s sake man, how many times must this be said: Symbian doesn´t need that much CPU power to go around. It is called efficiency. Furthermore, its got a powerful GPU to kick of some graphics. This is a problem for those born in the 90´s, but for us "elderly" who well remember the Intel vs AMD clock speed fight some 10 years ago this is not a difficult thing to comprehend. Or the transfer from one OS generation to the another for that matter. Of course, its not the exakt same thing here, just that symbian is less heavy to get going. Its not about the horsepowers, its about the weight of the load. In order to try it in practice: take a C7 and a roughly equally priced 1GHz Android of choise, crank up the mp3 player and surf the web while opening a pdf file or something at the same time. Which of these phones will start to lag? Actually my good old Nokia E51 can do this, without too much sweat (its called real multitasking).

  • dude get with the times, nokia are gunna be releasing windows phones in future to replace symbian. Another thing is symbian doesn't have high cpu requirements unlike android or windows phone os's. Besides, having such fast cpu can drain the battery of the phone and doesn't mean the phone is gunna have better call quality or reliability. Get your facts right before posting and making accusations against phone companies.

  • Hi Ric. I'm also buy C7.... the problem same. I go to servis centre & change motherboard. s###. get back after 2 weeks. But after change motherboard, everything going ok. but technician work not quite good. my c7 got scratch...

  • Out of curiosity why did they choose microsoft

  • ok ok symbian sucks for u guy. say, if nokia change to android, will u purchase a nokia? no. so pls keep on criticizing abt symbian the fact that u criticize just for the sake of criticizing. can't u let nokia have a different os from others. if u dun like symbian, dun buy. there's lots of ppl like it.

  • Ha ha.. This explains the popularity of Nokia. A news attracts hundreds of comments for a Nokia within few hours.. Seems like all(along with the Nokia lovers) wait for a Nokia news to come!! Long live trolls! :P :D

  • Of course I know what smartphone is all about. I guess Nokia knows but is struggling in it's devt of a new OS. Symbian is not relevant in the smartphone game anymore. So, guess where is Symbian OS ending up? In the drain of course. Nokia is facing out Symbian in phases without choice to remain competitive and has chosen to work with Microsoft for windows7. So please don't argue for the sake of arguing. These are facts. Even the CEO of Nokia admitted their struggling with competitiion and market share in the high end smartphone level. Nokia has been in too entrenched in its own problem internally and has affected their own smartphone devt. In the end, they are outsoursing instead and decided on microsoft. So don't be native here. If you want to know Why Nokia has chosen to work with Microsoft, I would be happy to enlighten you too.

  • price not gvn very beautiful & mindblowing hanset

  • Nagol, What is happening outside are the facts that people are turning into android and apple OS . These are the talk of the town and majority are purchasing these os base phones. If Nokia wants to back in the business , it time for them to do something with their trademark (symbian) and stop coming out with such handphones that always have the same problem of hanging hanging hanging ,

  • Stupid name

  • dis phone is real value for money.

  • there is no special in this this is confirm that nokia is getting down in 2011 onwards also they are showing a new model by printing on panel as t mobile we have to think its a new model fucking battery back up dont go for this mobiles

  • Nokia's phones should be release in 2008 with these lame specs Nokia get out of here and hey Gsmarena remove Nokia from the list they should not be on the top of phones list

  • What the hell is happening to nokia. why they r still sticking to fixed focus otherwise it will be great set.

  • Fail comment. Symbian is old and cant do 1/3 of what Android can do. Battery life? Performance and usability comes with a price. Thats why Symbian is dead and Nokia will follow.

  • still nokia sucks brining this astound phone what kinda name is that.nokia making different design but same inside. need more rework man.

  • Yes, you are right! :) Android is the future!! :) NO OS'es can beat Android, the biggest OS in the world.

  • I got a C7 last week and returning it today... issues with stability.. self-restart.. hanging.. etc... Astound has the same specs of the C7 thus I imagine is just a US rebranding.

  • hueex not interested...this phone still use symbian,feel boring to hear this 'symbian symbian symbian' like an old phone covered with new style if nokia still doesn't make a change,i bet nokia will be no longer exist

  • I really don't get the hate for Nokia on this website at all. I mean everytime I go into a Nokia discussion all I see is HATE HATE HATE from the Android trolls. Really?? Android?? That's like the most overrated OS ever. Yeah the UI looks pretty but the battery life sucks....And people talk about Nokia needs better software, which might be true. But people are forgetting is that without your hardware your software won't matter and vice versa Who cares how pretty the UI looks on Android when your battery life is about to die out in hrs just to look cool. With a Nokia phone with Symbian 3, it can do anything that Android can do with 10x the battery life. I tried Android myself and all they have is a great web browser and a couple useless apps that aren't really important.

  • this is a nokia c7

  • hey Nokia ASTOUND has OwnVoice OwnVoice is one of the Ovi Maps' neater features - downloadable voices for your GPS so you'll never be bored The Astound comes with an upgraded version of Ovi Maps with customizable voices, pre-loaded North American maps, and driving directions for 90 countries. T-Mobile has supplemented Nokia's sluggish app store with T-Mobile's own easier to use app store, which spotlights big names that Americans would know

  • hey this is the picture of nokia astound with swype preinstalled I am excited about the Qik video calling. I hope we can get ahold of the sis file or Qik becomes available in the Ovi Store.

  • Nokia astound includes: - conference calling - wifi and mobile calling - visual voicemail - portrait qwerty - new browser aka browser 7.2 - split screen works - better transitions HEY gsmarena this has 1.3 mp videocall camera not VGA! and also comes with preinstalled Swype okay! here's the link

  • Just got the C7 version and must say that Symbian owns fragmented androids behind. I went from frustration (had a samsung android)to bliss. It just works! Battery life is much better and I don't have to DL apps for every little function I need. Also... Free Maps! Go Nokia!

  • Ha ha..:D but I must say all the Nokia's post gets the most number of comments. Thats y Nokia is the most popular! Even trolls wait for a Nokia news!

  • Nokia C7 = Nokia Astound in t-mobile just like LG Optimus 3D = LG Thrill 4G in at&t... :)

  • looks good.when will it be starting to sell in philippines and what would be the starting price?

  • O.S - symbian 3.1 350 MB internal memory nothing change???? come on nokia..... make something NEW!!!!

  • that great but canoot kill android 680mhz? NEED 1GHZ

  • niceeeeeeeeeee

  • Yes, this mobile trully C7 nokia what make diffrent between astound and c7 get a real dude

  • hmm.. I bet you are not just smart enough to know what an smartphone is. lol!

  • it's C7 from T-mobile, renamed as astound.

  • OBVIOUSLY you are in denial of the fact that Nokia is going down in the smartphone realm. Nokia has got a big market share not for it's high end smartphone but for its low end phones. Symbian is no longer competitive and other OS such as IOS and Android are leading the pack. These are facts. Nokia can no longer give what customer wants. Symbian is not capable in the touchscreen application. Come on... I am a Nokia user and have used many Nokia phones. Am still using one right now. I am still updated and have my hands on some higher end Nokia. So I know. In my business, I have the opportunity to try all kind of brands. I can tell you honestly, Nokia is in deep trouble unless they buck up. That is why Nokia is going to start using Windows7 in their next generation of smartphone. Simply because Symbian cannot deliver and customers are not stupid, they know it too. The market does not want Symbian anymore. The world is changing, so is how we use our smart phone. Iphone is leading the way, Android is following suit. That is why, other manufacturers like LG, Samsung, Motorola, Sony Eriksson and HTC are going the Android way to stay competitive with Iphone. At the moment, it seems to be the only way. Microsoft has revamped themselves with Windows7 for mobile. Blackberry is another thing all together. Nokia? Nokia has no answer to the changing world.Nokia is not dead but is bleeding like crazy and lost most of the high end market share. Great camera and video, of course Iphone is great, Samsung is great. Maybe HTC is not too great. Screen quality, Iphone, Samsung and LG are best. OS and apps wise- Apple and Android are untouchables. Design wise-Why some manufacturers are coping iphone? It is what make iphone so successful too.It is appealing to customers, design that sells. In terms of everyday usage to the masses. Iphone has revolutionised the way people use their phones. Great success on the app and appstore. Truly so many useful apps can be downloaded for free or for a small free. Nokia? Please. It is because of the great success of Iphone, so many developers has jump in the bandwagon to develop their apps for Ios. Nokia, they would rather miss it.

  • It looks just like C7 (-O except the "T-Mobile" at the end :|

  • T-Mobile version of C7, codename ASTOUND

  • when i click on the pic, there is a "C7". r u sure this is the pic??

  • I hope this unit will live up to its name in an affirmative fashion.

  • -!- Please this is a vyle copy of c7... nokia berry bad!!!

  • that is the nokia c7 the only difference is that this one is branded to tmobile and the other one is unlocked

  • This is another joke of a phone from Nokia. While other companies are providing handsets of 1GHZ or higher......Nokia is still struggling with 600-700 MHZ processors and with Symbian OS!!! Wake up Nokia!! Symbian is dead!! It's high time Nokia gets some actual SMART phones!!

  • Nokia is dead? Wait a second... You said that Nokia is DEAD? The biggest and most sucessful phone manufacter that got the most market-share by a huge difference and sell all kinds of phone for all kinds of markets all over the world is dead? Hahaha, you people have no sense. Most phones you've mentioned weren't even released yet, yet do you fall in love for them, what's the point? More over, most of them are aimed for the High-end markets, while the Nokia "Astound" is not, Nokia haven't even announced its High-end phone of the year yet, so wtf? I could bear all the phones you've mentioned until I read iPhone 4... Man, iPhone 4? You are kidding right? The iPhone is a got app deposit and that's all, this thing doesn't even have widgets, it's only flat pages of apps, it is more limited than a feature phone and you fall in love with this thing? But I understand, you are just influenced by biased american websites.

  • People! Please! This is the C7 re-named for T-mobile. I repeat... The C7 re-named for T-mobile - with a couple minor operating changes. So, relax. Nokia didn't waste resources on R&D to create an obsolete piece of equipment. It's now available from WIND mobile and they wisely kept the "C7" name. So, why the heck does T-mobile and many others feel the need to give these phones a name?? Some of the names are so stupid! The Nokia "Astound"??? My gosh! Such a stupid name. I won't be surprised if some of the Nokia/Symbian haters will now call this phone the Nokia "Dumb-struck". So, continue giving your phones stupid names. Just be prepared to have those names turned around and embarrass you.

  • get a life, what you see on paper is not what really is, take nokia e5, it holds the world record for the most run apps 74, and it has just 256mb ram, nokia is quanlity over quantity, most of these phones with 1gb ram can not co pare with an average nokia,and just so you know i have used alot of phones and have come to the realization, nokia is the better(not best,there is no best they all have kirks).nokia parks more advantages than disadvantages,

  • NOKIA=Dead. Samsung_Galaxy S2! LG_Optimus 3D! Motorola_Atrix! Apple_I Phone 4! Can some1 pliz inform Nokia that isthe in thing and they should atleast come near it, not go ever further away in the opposite direction! geeesh.

  • it is how the mighty falls! fixed focus?!680mhz of cpu? it is the end of a legend!

  • why dont people at nokia have brains to see around where the mobile OS is going to from apple to Android and still these guys living in the extremely outdated software of Symbian??? wake up nokia...!!!!

  • give up Nokia join android .... dont waste your time on symbian its dead android its the future

  • It's has same 8GB storage.

  • Finally nokia launched multitouch but still old fashioned symbian os...

  • what the heck...we need meego nokia or i'll buy this nokia and chew it

  • LOL, don't you understand a phone which is locked to a network? Of course it should be less than a 100 bucks or it should be free with a plan..,

  • such a poor step by nokia changing the name of the ph will nt make the customers fool or lure in U.S and i m nt able to understand why this phone is priced at 80 bucks here in india it is of more than 350 dollars.

  • It is the Astound. See the T-Mobile logo under it? C7 + T-Mobile Logo = Astound

  • Really? What touchscreen phones you already tried?

  • Cool Phone but to me, touch screen is always frustrating

  • I have heard too about the new Web Browser. :)

  • New keyboard (QWERTY on portrait too), new web browser, performance improvements, better home-screen swyping and etc. The completely new interface is coming on Q3 I guess.

  • You probably don't even know what Auto-focus is. These EDOF cameras can focus perfectly from 50cm to infinity. If you don't know, even DSLR cameras can't focus closer than 50cm unless it have a Macro lens. And now you tell me that your iGalaxy 4 is better than a DSLR camera since it can focus closer than 50cm?

  • Yeah, look at Samsung with their "Apple copy-cat" phones with bad build quality, look at LG with their horrible customer support and hardware, look at Apple with the iOS full of restriction and limitations, look for HTC with horrible cameras and average sound quality. Nokia smartphones aren't smart? With Symbian you have TRUE multi-tasking, widgets, can run Java and native applications, have Adobe Flash support (nothing that an iOS can do), and even more, you have USB On-the-go that no other high-end phone on the market have. With a Nokia smartphone you can do alot more than with any other phone. What you have with other phones? A pretty UI? That is what makes the phone smart? I'm sorry, but actually, it's dumb.

  • It seems there is inside consipiracy from the managment to slowly spoil the buisness of Nokia. Fixed focus camera and sticking to Symbion, when there are other popular OS available in the world is a step in this direction. Just imagine the response, this phone with auto focus and zenon flash with android or window7(also doubtful). It will survive till some local complnies takeover the non-smart phone buisness as well.

  • and whats the difference? new interface?

  • this is a joke from Nokia right? Get a life, just look at Samsung, LG, Apple, HTC. Their smartphones are what I call S.M.A.R.T. LOL.

  • Another crap from nokia. Fixed focus Z.zz

  • it is mostly the C7, but for t-mobile... doh it's not like it's the first phone model to have a dedicated name for a specific carrier

  • Nokia please think about Google Android for touch phones.

  • cant wait 4 itsrelease

  • again BL-5K battery. worst battery back up. DISPLAY same limited by the os, frustrating when browsing. sorry nokia, better luck nxt tym.

  • Its same as nokia c7........but it runs on symbian 3.1.......it is a good phone

  • Nokia, please consider putting autofocus cameras into your phones. I'd prefer 5MP AF to 8MP FF.

  • so cool nokia

  • realy looking good. Definately buy one. Similr c7 but good.

  • First amoled phone by nokia... looks great!

  • i don't know why nokia is not giving xenon flash in this types of phone???

  • Funny. Confusing this over C7. This is Nokia C7, renamed as Astound for the carrier TMobile, only available in US. The symbian is version 3.1. Has portrait qwerty keys as well.

  • no android and poor battery

  • just placed my order 4 it

  • I liked the response of the updated icons, it seems new and nice. can you get us all new menu icons? I hope so. I am waiting for an awesome smartphone to purchase it in 2012.

  • another dead stock phone by Nokia. grow up Nokia ...and hold on,...you are falling like your company's share price

  • am i missing anything or is that nokia c7?

  • hi NKA same c7 mdle fture . y n't 1GHz prser.. h much cost. gud atmpt name changing

  • Nice phone. Symbian may well continue along WP7. Nokia unlikely to drop Symbian unless WP7 will prove reliable horse. Recently leaked UI updates to Symbian look good. Symbian internals are sound. What Nokia needs - good linkage to various ecosystems. Apps craze will drop. No apps necessary for what can be and should be done in browser.

  • .hmmm loOks like c7 . aLMOst ..

  • i`m so disapointed i was waiting for that amazing nokia but its a disaster omg....

  • hi dude dizz mobile will rock dude

  • Almost the same C7... only difference is the storage.

  • wt................. still symbion.....nokia??? nokia make some new windows if you cant android..

  • How did you know? It's still not release yet. Please do not say anything about the performance of this device if it's still not available in the market.

  • will be out for $799, after a month or two. it'll be $100-300 less. then nokia will abandon the this and move on to their next phone. i've had it with them. purchased almost every big nokia phones and they tend to disregard them after 2-3 months.

  • so when will the first Nokia phone featuring WP7 be availble

  • Why did nokia made this if it has the same features of e7? What's the use?

  • It also a great achivement of Nokia

  • what is this another dead product by nokia???

  • why the Astound pict was the C7 ?

  • The main difference between C7 and Astound is the internal memory as C7 has 8gb while Astound has in Mb's BUT with card slot option of upto 32 Gb. So it will be cheaper than C7.

  • the picture provided is of nokia c7... that's not nokia astound

  • directly compared to the c7, 350mb internal memory (not ram) assuming its still 256mb doesnt say yet, and symbian 3.1 over 3. Nothing else appears to have changed..

  • Of course, it should be. this unit is just the american version of C7, some minor changes to satisfy the American taste. I hope they will release unlocked version to update the curret c7.

  • This handset is looking gorgeous

  • Hmmmm...still looks like c7 to me..

  • lol, it is for T-mobile, they usually change the names of their phones, It has 350 mb ram and updated OS. I think this one is faster than the early C7

  • its nokia C7

  • Okay its C7 for the US. Its the same just like HD7S is the same with HD7. This is for Tmobile

  • Did Nokia name it Astound beacause C7 wasn't a great hit?? It's C7, whats the difference?

  • Hey C7 users. For those of you who are in US. You can now get C7 (Astound) from TMobile There are, however, some noteworthy additions to the earlier C7 design. Most notably, there is a portrait QWERTY keypad, Swype text entry, split-screen text input, and free turn-by-turn navigation from Ovi Maps. As earlier rumors suggested, the Astound will be available on April 6, for the price of $79.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. so envy that the Astound have this. still waiting for my n8 2.0

  • Still the specs are way old for a new phone I am disappointed of modern Nokia phones :(

  • Is there any major difference between this and C7?

  • It's for T-mobile, and it run the latest Symbian version.

  • it is the Nokia C7... why call it astound??

  • Great Nokia Keep Going

  • Symbian 3.1 im impressed.

  • Symbian 3.1...The latest version of Symbian. I just can't get Nokia! Why they didn't announce some stunning devices?? Where is the "awesome" Meego device Nokia? Where is the X7? Where are the S series? If Nokia will continue like this, Samsung will take their crown!
