This news doesn’t come from one of those elusive ‘anonymous sources’ either, as it was a tweet from a Nokia account that spilled the beans.
Subsequently removed, GSMArena managed to save the wording of the offending 140-character faux pas before it disappeared. In addition to the phone being mentioned alongside the December 10th date, interested parties were told to check the Nokia site for details as availability would vary from country to country.
Heading over to Nokia’s site and you’ll still only find the E7 page accompanied by an email signup box to be notified when it’s available. This aside, the fact the tweet was rapidly removed does tip this into the realm of ‘very possible’.
If you need reminding of why you should be excited about the E7, it’s because it shares a similar look to the N8 but has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard under its 4″ AMOLED screen, making it the spiritual successor to the much-loved Communicator series of Nokia phones. It also has an 8 megapixel camera, GPS and the latest Symbian^3 operating system.
