Mobile-review recently posted the first impressions review about the upcoming Nokia C7 which was leaked again last week.

The Nokia C7 is predicted to release by the end of 2010 with the price ranged at €360-390.

So, that’s all the specs we know so far. Now let’s see what Mobile-review said about the Nokia C7.

• Compared to Nokia N8, the Nokia C7 will sell better due to lower price and will probe that cameras in phones are not so important for average consumers.
• The exterior of the Nokia N7 body looks like a crossbreed between a phone from Kore and a typical Nokia, but still looks nice.
