Gallery: Nokia E7 blue – How external slots should work.

One of the things I DIDN’t like about the Nokia N8 was that fiddly SIM and memory card door. Perhaps with time you get used to how to open it, and yes it is quite secure and flush with the device – but it is a little bit of a pain to open. The SIM you may open less unless you’re frequently swapping between devices, but memory card you may be popping out for card reader transfers.

Anyway, on the Nokia E7, you’ll notice a different implementation. One it does NOT have a memory card slot. But if it did, I would like to see something similar to the SIM tray where it effortly slides out WHILST being secure. Perhaps in future make it so it isn’t somehow completely detachable from the device as I can sort of forsee this disappearing and getting lost foro some people.

It is understandable that space is a contraint, but when you compromise so much that you affect functionality (i.e. making card doors so hard to open people don’t use it) then you’ve sort of failed in the design, no?

As well as that, here’s another Nokia E7 gallery. This time, a blue one without that tether stuck to the back.
