SpecEagle Editorial·Oct 2010·$450·Score 40/100
Nokia C7-00 was one of the very first phones with an NFC chip — years before NFC payments became mainstream — wrapped in a stainless-steel body with an AMOLED screen. A nice glimpse of where mobile was going, on a platform that was already on the way out.
