Guys, I Need Nokia Phone . Im Confused Between The E7 and N8. The E7 Lacks Good Camera But Its 4 screen Inch Looks and Keyboard Keeps Me Interested In It. The N8 Has Become Old. Its Camera Is The Best No Doubt Still I Need A Phone With Overall Qualities. Good Camera, 4 screen And Good Hardware And Looks. Does The Autofocus Matter? Or Images Come Clear Without It Also. Help Me Out Fast?

According To U Al, N8 looks Better Or E7?

[Fender77]

If you want to take decent macro pics you will have to go for the N8, also if you want the best mobile camera there is. The E7 struggle with focus from 0 -50 cm. However, everything longer works very well.

I have the E7 and are pleased with the screen quality/size and the keyboard is great.

So if the E7's camera does it, I think the choice would be easy!

[psychomania]

This is only a decision that you personally can make. The N8 is older than the E7 but the operating system is the same on both and will be developed together. Personally I think the N8 is more attractive as it's smaller and more pocket friendly.

I personally chose the N8 because a good camera that can take close up shots and be used in low light is more important to me than a qwerty keyboard and larger screen. A camera that cannot take close ups is useless to me. Also I like the ability to use memory cards with the N8 instead of using USB-OTG for extra storage. The N8 also has a built in FM transmitter instead of needing external hardware.

You also have to consider your budget, the N8 is cheaper because it's been available longer.

Thanks A Lot.  But According To Your Experience  Hows The Camera Of E7? Is It That Bad? E7 Cannot Take Close Up,s Right?

Another aspect is that you may want or like a key-pad but my own experience is that being an ex Communicator junkie! I liked a keyborad - however since I'm used to touch input and especially with the addtion of the Swype software, I have to say I'm really happy with my N8.

Any chance you can go into a store and get a closer look at both?

Read these articles about the E7's camera and decide for yourself:

How Do You Find Your E7 Camera? What Is a Clear Black Display. What Its Used For?

N8 Does Not have a clear black display  na?

[psychomania]

Clear back display (CBD) makes the phone easier to see outdoors and makes blacks look deeper on screen. It's a bit like comparing a good LCD TV to a Plasma screen.

Even without CBD the N8 is better outdoors than most other current touch phones but the E7 is slightly better.

The links above give good examples of how the E7''s camera performs. Compare them to the N8's here:

Only you can decide which camera suits your personal needs better.

Thanks A Lot Buddy. N e Idea About Upcoming Nokia Phones Which Will Have N8,s Camera  and a 4 screen Inch. ? When Its Launching?

[psychomania]

Unfortunately we aren't allowed to discuss any products here that Nokia hasn't officially announced.

I suggest you follow the news on Nokia's blog as it's expected that new phones will be announced on the 12th of April. It's unknown if any of the new products will feature a camera as good as the N8's.

[Fender77]

The pictures taken by the E7 pretty much says it all, but I've tried to take photos of documents and unfortunately it does not do the job at all. It cannot focus from short distance and everything gets a bit blurry.

To me I feel the screen size and key board adds up, but then again it's a matter of taste like psychomania pointed out.

The price is also a bit nicer with the N8.

What the E7 does for me is messaging. Texts, longer emails, live messaging etc. The keyboard is something that I personally find very usefull.

So, if you need to take macros and don't like to carry a camera beside the phone, I think the N8 would be great. The N8 seems also to have a bit better battery life than the E7. I need to charge the E7 every day or night even with quite little use.

[ash2]

Whose Sound Quality Is Better? I Mean Much Clearer And Louder?

[Fender77]

You think about the sound quality during calls?

I cannot speak for the N8, but the E7 works great. It has a voicecancelling system with an extra microphone to separate what's back ground noice and what's not.

[ash2]

Does N8 Have A Voice Cancelling System. N Im Talking About The Sound Quality Of Music . I Mean The Songs We Hear On The Speaker Of The Phone. Which One,s Better?

[Fender77]

Out loud or through headphones? Through headphones both are great. The E7 get's a little thin with the loudspeaker but is far better than the N97 if you tried that one.

Hopefully psychomania will comment on the N8's sound quality during calls.

Apart from keyboard screen size, memory card slot and camera, those two phones is pretty much identical.

What you should do is to check them out at a store were you are allowed to test it.

But after thinking a bit, I think the N8 as psycho suggests might be a better choice unless you need the physical keyboard and a slightly bigger screen.

'OutLoud' !!! LMAO

[psychomania]

Lol, starting another thread is ridiculous.

Simple answer to the person that can't decide: Google for reviews, read as many as possible and decide which phone suits your needs better. Neither phone is better than the other to everybody!

[carman58]

This type of question is really subjective and can only be answered by you ! If you put the phones together they work much the same IMO they are both great, but then I like Symbian^3 and Nokia phones . If photography is your priority then the N8 is the ONLY choice . I use the E7 and love it for it's features over the N8 but macro photography and flash photography are very limited and you have no expendable memory , I can live with this and most of the pictures I'v taken are fair to good and the media experience on the E7 is much better IMHO . If neithe tick all your boxes you need to look at other makes and models , personally I'm extremely happy with my choice , but independent research is the best course of action. Good luck with your choice whatever it is

There is no need for two topics on this subject. Please keep it to one topic only!

Ultimately you need to make a choice, I suggest you google for multiple reviews and decide which suits you better. It isn't rocket science!
