Nokia's pledge to keep Symbian alive and well has been tested with the Windows Phone 7 announcement, and the Nokia X7 is the first device since the shift to launch with the original platform.
The Nokia X7 features a large widescreen 4-inch screen, and comes in at less than 12mm thick - not the thinnest on the market, but certainly pretty svelte with rounded edges.
However, it still feels pretty chunky in the hand (although that could be partly down to the fact we've been using the ultra-thin Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc for the last few days). The metallic chassis feels premium enough though, and will win over one or two admirers.
