After few days of having the Nokia 701, it came up to my mind that I should do a comparison with Nokia C7-00 due to their similarities in design and other features.

So below, I shot a short video comparison of Nokia 701 running on Symbian Belle and Nokia C7-00 running on Symbian Anna. I also highlighted their differences in video and put Nokia X7 and N8 on the last part of the video for a little treat to you.

    When you switch on 701….do you have to wait for some time to have lag free operations? asking this cause for my c7  with anna i have to wait for some seconds after boot up of c7 to use phone at full speed!

  • http://www.facebook.com/drshvl Kakha Driashvili

    Thanks for the article. I have a question; does the C7 really have NFC feature? I thought it was used on the N9 firstly and your paragraph similarities says it has.

    Almost the same design. C7 looks better for me.

  • Anonymous

    Hi. yes, Juan is right. The C7 NFC got activated through Anna update.

  • Anonymous

    I’m not sure. I think yes it has FM transmitter base on this specs http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/

  • Anonymous

    I think it’s enough to have 680MHz. By October to Decemeber for this year. We just don’t have exact date.

  • Anonymous

    Hi. Yes, you can use it. No, it’s very fast on 701. It will load for about 1 or 2, that’s it is ready to go.

  • Aristoteles Silva

    Why not the same evolution to the N8?

    I would like to see a comparison with the Nokia C7 and the Nokia 700. I have a C7 and at 130 grams is quite heavy for what was advertised as a thin handset. The Nokia 700 seems to be an ideal weight.

  • Adlatus

    Thank you. And I think you are right, the “old” C7 looks somewhat more elegant…

  • Chandra 718@gmail.com

    Hai actualy i got a news tat Dey do over clock it seems…. Den c7 ll also get 1GHz … It’s tat true other wise d phone wrk’s very slowly in 680MHz ……. Plz reply

    Hey there, what do u mean by evolution to the N8? You mean successor of the N8? Maybe we could see the successor of the N8 in this coming Nokia World. 2011.

    Hey there. Nokia 700 is very compact, the smallest indeed. Smaller screen and lighter compare to 701/C7.

    I have my N8 running on Belle right now. :)

  • Anonymous

    Yep, but for me the X7 is the most coolest design, C7 is the most elegant.

  • Adlatus

    Saw the X7 today live, looked great and like you said, very very cool. But perhaps a little bit to big.
    The size of N8 is right. And I like the design and materials of my silver white N8 more…

  • Anonymous

    Yeah. X7 is quite big for you and others but still some guys prefer bigger screen. I want 4″ on my phone at max.

    Indeed, silver N8 still rocks!

    oh really? Wher did u get it updated?

  • Abcletta7

    Hi,how is the ips display??the black color is black as amoled black??

  • Anonymous

    Hello, I’m afraid not as black as AMOLED screens of N8 and others. I still prefer the AMOLED though.

  • edumm1

    I have a C7-00 but in dark pictures or movies, the black is not correctly displayed. I belive is because in some black tones the amoled display turn off the led pixel, and you see pictures like they have pixelation.

  • edu.mm1

    The first phone with symbian Anna was the X7-00 on 12 April 2011, and the Symbian Anna update was on mid august… that is 4 months. I belive it will be similar for Symbian Belle update… about 4+ months… I think we will see Belle update on December2011 to January2012.

  • Chandra 718@gmail.com

    Sum 1 told me tat belle wont wrk faster lik Anna in c7 due 2 680MHz So for tat ll Dey do over clock d processes for 1GHz … It’s tat true ….. Rply plzplz

  • Anonymous

    yeah, the 701, 700 and 600 will be snappier compare to C7. But of course it will still be snappy on C7 and other devices because of the optimizations Nokia made.

    No, they won’t overclock it but they will optimize it.

  • Chandra 718@gmail.com

    v get official belle aft releasing d 700 , 701 , 600 rty … Ha bt wen dey release it in india already sum of dem r usein unofficial belle on N8… I lik so much 2use belle… and dont mistak me can u explain me wt’s tat optimizing

  • Chandra 718@gmail.com

    reply boss ……

  • Anonymous

    Hello. I mean optimizing of putting Symbian Belle in a lower specs devices like Nokia N8. We know that Belle was first seen on 1Ghz and 512MB RAM devices like Nokia 700. So in order to make it smoother and fast too on N8, developers must need to optimize this to the users.

     s60v5 device (n97mini)having any upgrade to anna or belle???

  • Anonymous

    Hi there! No, only Symbian^3 phones (N8, E7, C7 etc)..

  • Jayant Dutta

    i own a ‘brown’ nokia c7, and i am very happy to buy this cool device.. its the best looking touchscreen phone from nokia.
    i think there is a slight difference in looks between c7 and c701, as far as i have seen them in pics, c701 does not have that written beside NOKIA above the screen, whereas c7 is written near NOKIA above the screen,
    second difference which i have seen in google images is – c7 shines more, has more lusture, whereas c701 has less lusture compared to c7 (stupid observation may be..lol).

    any news regarding symbian belle update for c7 recently?
    what feature enhancements from symbian belle, besides fresh UI?

  • Androidgeronimo

    Is it available in philippines now? how much?

  • Anonymous

    I think the stability and battery life improvement are another benefits of Belle update. See this: http://symbianworld.org/10120-improve-excellent-battery-life-on-nokia-n8-with-symbian-belle/

    I will post the markable differences between Anna and Belle soon…

  • Jamila

    Im gonna buy the 701 but I’d prefer Symbian Anna on it.
    Is it possible to install Anna on the Nokia 701???

     

  • Abdal96

    Hello, just a question i just want to know ONE answer
    WHICH is BETTER C7 or 701?

    please reply im lookin forward to buy one of them

  • Warisris

    I own a Nokia C701, and i am not happy with the symbian Belly , Because it dont support some of application like fring, I downloaded fring in my C701, for the 1st time it works but once you come out from fring & re-logon , Fring is not starting at all.

    Symbian Belly is not a good , Nokia should replace with the Same Symbain Anna.

    Please suggest if any alternate is available for download.

  • Mawad

    i’m little bit hasitate which to buy 701 or C7 , i heard that the 1 GHZ processor making some problems as the device will may over heated, does anybody know somthing concerning this problem?

  • Eduardo Morató Muñoz

    I’m not aware about over heated 701, but I recommend the 701, I own a C7-00 and I love it and I want a Nokia 701 which is basically the same phone, but with better HW specs, and also it will get more firmware updates, probably Nokia Carla. If you want to know full specs and compare both, you should enter http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/Comparison.xhtml?dev=701,C7-00

  • Cajapaul

    If I were you I’d recommend to buy Nokia 701…………..because it has a bigger memory and also has the fastest processor than the C7…….with 1 Ghz processor and if you update it to  Belle FP1…you’ll have a 1.3 Ghz processor……………..to see the complete comparison log on to http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3394&idPhone2=4119uitrdty
