Camera
First, Nokia N8 sports a whopping 12 MP Auto Focus Camera with Xenon Flash and Carl Zeiss optics versus on 8 MP Full Focus camera with Dual-LED of Nokia E7.
Can you tell the differences on this part? Well, refer to this article about Nokia C7 vs Nokia N8 and I included there some camera highlights.
Keyboard
What really matters for other people, especially the business inclined ones, is the swift input typing and that you could only find on a physical QWERTY keyboard of Nokia E7-00.
And who really type essays using a virtual QWERTY? No matter what your virtual QWERTY presentation in your phone, the physical or real QWERTY is still a must for heavy typing.
Screen
What’s make so sweet about E7 is? It’s none other than its 4.0″ CBD screen. But 3.5″ AMOLED is already enough for some and you could also do lots of things on it.
Memory
It’s sad to know that a Nokia high-end phone doesn’t have microSD support, right? But it then depends the remaining internal storage. Like Nokia E7 that has 16GB of internal and no microSD support at all. What the heck? Yes, too sad. But of course it will matter on the user if he is a video and music collectors.
FM Transmitter
Is this feature a big deal for some? Yes, I knew lot of people whose preferences on buying their next devices is a FM transmitter. You can just easily and wirelessly connect your Nokia N8 to your car’s stereo FM.
