comparison N8 vs X7
Nokia X7:
A killer peace with bright colors on the interface, Nokia X7 still fights with other similar products and earns a good position in the market. The wide screen adds as a plus for easy comfortable touch. The stainless steel body has been designed for sustainability. Featues that had lacked in the OS, has been added by Symbian Anna. Therefore it founds a comfortable place in the market.
The combination of pearly stainless steel body and gorilla glass fought a place in the minds of the people. It has been customized with stereo speakers which is a boom for music lovers and also 8MP camera with 720p video recording which can capture beautiful images.

2.Nokia N8:
Nokia develops and come out with few hundreds of different models through research and development and earns a prominant position among the customers. The series of N95, N96 and N97 has been been developing keeping in my mind the needs and the view of the people. Nokia N8 is the first ever phone with a applauding image clarity with 12 megapixel camera which earned a monopoly position in the market for quite sometime.
