Nokia E7 gets listed for a Whopping Rs. 30,000

Back in December we reported that Nokia E7, which was suppose to ship in January 2011, has been held back for uncertain reasons. Now, the first Symbian^3 running E-Series smartphone - Nokia E7 gets listed on India's online retailer site Infibeam.com with arrival hinted as Coming Soon. Though its arrival period is uncertain, this top of the line E-series smartphone would be available at an approximate cost of Rs. 30,000.

From the buzz we heard, the Finnish handset maker will hold a pompous launch event for this business segment friendly smartphone. Closely similar to Nokia N8, the E7 features a slide-out full QWERTY keyboard that has nicely laid out keys. But is it actually comfortable for typing? We'll come to know that only after using it.
