Nokia Astound C7 Review

Online, May 20, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The mid-range Nokia Astound C7 has features that make the phone worth more than its budget price. With an outstanding body, the stainless steel back, chrome accents, and glass display look fantastic. The body is 4.62 by 2.24 by 0.41 inches, large enough for a 3.5 inch display but small enough to hold in your hand comfortably. The display has a very responsive touch and with 360x680 pixel resolution on the AMOLED display, graphics look absolutely fantastic, detail is amazing and the text is crisp and clean. Viewing angles are also great, even outdoors. The digital keyboard comes with SWYPE technology in landscape mode, make it extremely easy to email, message and browse the web. Running the phone is a 680MHz ARM 11 processor and 256MB of RAM with Symbian 3.1 operating system.

As a huge added bonus, the Astound C7 has the NFS chip, a new technology to the States that adds extreme convenience to your life. Also included is Bluetooth 3.0, 8-megapixel camera with 720p video capture on the back and VGA front camera for video calling, FM Radio, tethering, Wi-Fi, microUSB port, 8GB of internal storage, 3.5mm headset jack and GPS. The battery is a 1200mAh battery with a rated talk time of 9.5 hours of talk time and a standby time of 23 days when using 2G service, and 5 hours of talk time and 27 days of standby time with 3G. The call quality is amazing and the speakerphone sounds fantastic. Customize the phone's 3 homescreens to fit your lifestyle. Stay in touch with your friends through Twitter and Facebook or update your status and add pictures quickly and easily. This phone definitely is worth more than you pay for.

Because it is illegal in many states to use your cell phone while driving, we recommend a portable speakerphone to stay in touch in the car.
