nokia n8 nokia c7 nokia c6 nokia e7 300x177 Nokia N8 vs Nokia E7 Dilemma   What would you sacrifice for: Camera or QWERTY Keyboard? [Poll]To sum up and differentiate these two devices of Nokia, each has distinctive features that separates from the other. One is a flagship for multimedia while the other is oriented in enterprise section. And it’s not on the software that they differ big but in terms of hardware features.

So let me go highlight the differences of these two contenders.

nokia n8 smartphone Nokia N8 vs Nokia E7 Dilemma   What would you sacrifice for: Camera or QWERTY Keyboard? [Poll]

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.

    I’m clinging to the N9 rumors of an all-in-one flagship. If they come to be false, I’m going for the E7, I like the bigger screen and form factor.

    I just want a N97 done right, with more memory, a better processor and S3. Everything else just right on that phone.

    I think that is already a Nokia E7 except the camera is not auto-focus. :D

    i started with the N97mini, now i have the N8, i admit, i really do miss my keyboard, but the 12MP camera is great, i love the memory, i have a 16GB card full, and i’m half way through the built in, and i love the FM transmitter, plus phones without keyboards on them are easier to get heavy duty cases for, but if they made a phone that had everything the N8 has, plus the bigger screen and the keyboard i would be all over that, but the memory and camera are the big selling points

    I’m currently using the N8 best Nokia or any other phone i’ve had. Big points for me are easy arranging of screen menu, the big screen, easy access to application…
