Which is largely due to the Webkit (v525) rendering engine. Therefore, that review applies equally to the E7.įor those coming from S60 3rd or 5th Edition phones, the current generation of Web will offer vastly improved performance and usability. The current Nokia E7 firmware is shipping with version 7.2.8.10 of Web, which isn’t significantly different from the 7.2.7.2 version of Web we reviewed on the N8. However, if you find yourself with an E7 which has version 1.2, an upgrade to 1.3 will be available via either Nokia Beta Labs or the Ovi Store. By the time readers can buy an E7, version 1.3, or better, should be shipping in the device. Please note - The E7 review unit I tested came with version 1.2 of Nokia Social and I upgraded it from the 1.3 download from earlier in the year. This gives a nicely presented snapshot of what people in your social networks are saying, alongside their profile pictures. Surely the best thing about Social is its home screen widget. Furthermore, Social doesn’t retain what you were typing if you accidentally hit the ‘Back’ button while typing.
Correction aids function, but there’s no settings menu. Even more so when one considers having to do it again with a new phone, or because of a hard reset. It’s far too much work to manually link (potentially hundreds of) contacts to their social network identities.
In my experience of Nokia Social, there are still quite a few areas where the performance isn’t good enough: However, in a somewhat bizarre oversight, the captioning feature is not available if you upload more than one photo at at time. This addressed the problem of photo uploads being horribly scaled down in earlier versions of Social. Image upload limits are now increased to 4MB.This is as opposed to the original ‘dumb’ social networking link that appeared in each contact’s summary. Status updates are now shown in the summary tab of the Contacts application.
The core Facebook services are supported: Status updates, messages, events, profiles and photos.There’s no option to perform the old style “RT format retweet. Native Twitter retweets are supported.reading and writing tweets, adding favourites, viewing mentions and DMs As we’ve already reported on Nokia Social (see Part 4 of our N8 review ), here is a summary of the main features: As Rafe recently reported, Nokia Social was recently updated to version 1.3, which is the version I reviewed with the E7.
