Images of Nokia’s new 8-megapixel, full touch smart phone has surfaced on a Chinese website today.With rumours coming out of Nokia of a complete overhaul of their handset range, and the recent N8 causing a stir in the industry circles, Nokia is looking to achieve the position as one of the most dominant manufacturers in the market again. So lets see what the C7 offers.

The C7, appears to be one of the higher end handsets in Nokia’s new C-Series. Supported by the new Symbian^3 operating system, and complimented with a 3.5 inch, multi-gesture touch screen this looks like a strong addition to Nokia’s new range of handsets.

Unfortunately that’s all the information, with regards to the specification, that has surfaced currently. One think that strikes us from the leaked images is this looks like one of Nokia’s thinnest handsets, this is maybe the beginning of a new revolution from the Finnish manufacturer.

Of course as these are leaked pictures, it’s difficult to establish if this is the real deal we’re seeing here. However everything that has been published recently with regards to Nokia’s new C-Series phone, and the pictures of C5 handset, would suggest that these leaked images could be bang on the money for authenticity.

Whilst I wouldn’t see the C7 starting to compete with phones from either Apple or HTC, it does offer serious competition to Samsung’s range of handsets.

We’re predicting exciting times ahead for Nokia and we’re pretty sure we’ll be seeing more announcements with regards to their new range later this year.
