Symbian^3 C7 with nHD display confirmed on Nokia's own site

If Nokia's N8 is just too much smartphone for you then perhaps you'd like to take it down a notch with the C7. As part of the C-series of Nokia devices, you can expect it to trim some of the specs off the N8, but not much as the flagship device of the family. You know, something very similar to the apparently leaked image and specs (pictured above) we saw a few weeks back. Parsing the XML posted on Nokia's own site reveals an ARM-based Symbian^3 C7-00 device with a Nokia favorite 360x640 nHD pixel display resolution and 3G UMTS/HSDPA, WiFi, and Bluetooth radios. Obviously no pricing is available but you can expect it to be fairly inexpensive for what you'll get.

Can anyone tell me how Symbian S60 versions work? I can't find any info on it. I get tat Symbian^3 is big b/c it is the first fully open source symbian release, but what else is so great about it? Is it touch only, or can we put this on an E71/E72?

Looking forward to doing some more development work for symbian OS! QT is has an awesome API... and its a real cross platform skill!

It seems that this phone should be running Symbian^1?
(I can't see Symbian^3 in that XML document but sorry if it is there.)

I said so because Symbian^3 device like the Nokia N8 has only one button on the front of the phone, so I think Symbian^3 devices won't have 3 keys (call, end call, menu) on the front of the phones.

Looks like a Samsung
