The Nokia C7-00 is a smartphone from the Nokia Cseries. It was introduced on 14 September 2010 and released in Q4 2010.[2] The C7-00 features a 3.5-inch (89 mm), 640 x 360 pixel capacitive touchscreen and features 720p video recording, and was also the world's first smartphone to have NFC capability.[3][4] Nokia's mobile phone business head Anssi Vanjoki called it the "sleekest" device in the world.[5] Unlike the Nokia N8 flagship, the C7 has physical call and hangup buttons.[6]
The C7 is updatable to Symbian Belle (update made available on 7 February 2012)
The Nokia C7 Astound was also released for the T-Mobile USA, but has only one casing colour available, and omits 1900 MHz HSDPA (3G) band.
On 25 May 2011 the premium Nokia Oro was announced, which has the same internal specifications and even looks exactly like the C7, but has 18-carat gold plating, leather and sapphire crystal materials. It shipped with the "Anna" Symbian update.[7][8]
