T-Mobile Nokia Astound review, Nokia C7 for T-Mobile USA

We look at the Astound package contents, a hardware tour, and a software walkthrough. The Nokia Astound features Symbian 3.1, which is newer than what’s found on the Nokia E7, C7, and N8. It has a new browser, portrait QWERTY keyboard, updated Ovi maps with preloaded maps for North America, Fruit Ninja, Slacker Radio, and more. We don’t really see apps added by T-Mobile here. There’s a T-mobile “my accounts” app that let’s you check account info. There’s also T-Mobile mall which is just really a web shortcut. There’s a Telenav GPS app, but I won’t be using it since Ovi Maps is already free with turn-by-turn voice navigation. The Nokia Astound will be available April 6th for .99 with new contract.

    Is there a way to get full Flash 10 support for this one so you can open other video sites other than YouTube?

    ok, im a having a minor problem with my astound right now.My phone freezes ocasionally and then this white screen pops up with “nokia” on it. After that my phone goes back to normal,but then i get this message saying “power saving mode activate”. This process happens about 2-3 times every 30 minutes and its been bothering me for hours. Any suggestions?

    @shannidm Set up a free account on OVI store. The OVI store app should be loaded, else go to browser and get app from site there.

    @sk8brder40 USB On the Go, FM transmatter, 5 band HSPDA+, excellent battery life, AMOLED display, 8MP HD camera, New Anna software (new browser w.tabs, new portrait QWERTY, new fonts/icons, etc.), Multi-tasking over 70,000 apps on Nokia’s app store. Plenty of reasons, especially at this price, Will work on T mobile and AT&T 3G.
