Nokia Astound (C7) smartphone

 Coming Soon Nokia  Astound (C7) smartphone 

We are here at Nokia's press event at CTIA 2011 in Orlando where Nokia just announced the Nokia  Astound, a Symbian 3 smartphone for T-Mobile USA. The Nokia  Astound is a re-branded version of the C7, which we found out earlier today would be arriving for T-Mobile.

Nokia  Astound has the same specifications of the C7, which means a 3.5-inch AMOLED touchscreen display with 640x360 pixels of resolution and an 8-megapixel camera with a dual-LED flash and HD video-recording capabilities at 720p (1280x720 pixels) resolution. An FM radio and FM transmitter, 802.11b/g/n WiFi support, Bluetooth 3.0, and a 3.5mm headphone jack also come standard.

Nokia  Astound is equipped with 8GB of storage built-in and supports up to 32GB microSD cards, for a total of 40GB of possible storage. The phone measures 117.3mm x 56.8mm x 10.5mm (4.6in x 2.2in x .41in) and weighs 130g (4.5oz). The Astound's battery should provide up to 5 hours of talk time.

Nokia has also added some new features to the Astound. There is a much-needed portrait QWERTY keyboard, a Swype keyboard option, a new browser, and a split-screen for text input. Users will benefit from free turn-by-turn GPS navigation services provided by Ovi Maps. Maps for the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean come pre-loaded.
