Nokia has announced two new handsets: the X7 and the E6. Both devices are running an enhanced version of Symbian 3.0 called "Anna"
Though Nokia is switching its efforts from Symbian to Windows Phone in the next year or so, it’s efforts to break back into the U.S. market are already heating up. Today, the Finnish phone maker unveiled the Nokia X7 and Nokia E6, two new smartphones using a revamped version of Symbian called “Anna.”
Much like the T-Mobile Astound, which was shown off at CTIA a few weeks ago, both the Nokia X7 (specs) and Nokia E6 (specs) feature an enhanced version of Symbian with a much better Web browser, a new keyboard with Swipe, and a more responsive touch interface. However, Nokia has gone a step further with these new devices, improving its turn-by-turn Ovi Maps application, redoing the aging Symbian operating system icons, and adding some enhanced security features. The hardware seems to be improved as well. Both phones have a stainless steel frame with a tighter design than we’ve seen on Nokia devices lately. The X7, in particular, is quite thin looking, which goes nicely with its 4-inch screen.
