The Nokia X7 is a Symbian Anna based smartphone primarily designed for those who take their entertainment seriously. It has the memory to support multimedia content that you can enjoy on the stereo external speakers or through the standard 3.5 mm audio stereo headphones.

There is a large 4 inch 360 x 640 pixels resolution display that summarizes this phone’s capabilities. So let us take a brief tour of the apps that best take advantage of the Nokia X7.

Nokia Internet Radio

Nokia Internet Radio

Nokia Internet Radio puts unlimited music on your Nokia X7 mobile phone. With a directory of over 1,000 radio stations from all over the world, this app extends the built-in FM radio in an unprecedented way.

This free app from Nokia allows you to search for the perfect collection of songs by allowing the user to search through this directory of radio stations. Searching through this extensive database can be daunting and therefore this app allows you to search for songs by genre, album, artist, language, country or region.

Nokia Internet Radio brings a social touch to this device by allowing you to share your favorite radio stations with friends and family. If sharing is not what you are interested in then you can simply save your favorite stations as favorites.

Do you have limited Internet connectivity speeds? There is no reason to worry as this app will determine the quality of your connection and download the audio streams at the appropriate bit rates. The app can sacrifice the quality of the content to ensure that you get an uninterrupted listening experience.

The drop in audio quality in most cases will not be noticed and therefore does not affect the experience. This app comes preinstalled on your Nokia X7 device and can also be upgraded and downloaded from Nokia Ovi store directly on your phone.
