It looks like the general Nokia E7 release is going to be happening in early 2011, which is not as far off as Rogers, however still not great news for anyone that had been hoping to get one in time for the holiday season.
That said, the latest details are coming by way of a recent Reuters report in which they are citing word from a Nokia spokesperson. According to the details given, the delay was so they could “ensure the best possible user experience.” Still, while disappointing, this news seems to be a repeat of an earlier event — the delayed release of the Nokia N8 smartphone.

“This rounds out a miserable year for Nokia with regards getting the new generation of Symbian phones out the door,”After all, this delay of the E7 makes for two flagship devices being delayed in just one year. With that, and for anyone still interested in the handset that may need a refresher, the Nokia E7 features a 4 inch (640 x 360) AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, 3.5mm headphone jack, 16GB of internal storage, HDMI and an 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash and 720p video recording. In addition, the E7 is running Symbian^3 and features a full hardware QWERTY keyboard. And here is to hoping Nokia does not face any further delays on the release of this, not to mention, they have a better 2011 in terms of release schedules.
