“Better late than never” has been Nokia’s rallying cry when it comes to releasing high-end devices, but we can’t begrudge the delay we’ve experienced with the E7, this phone was gorgeous back in September and it’s still a beauty today. The QWERTY-equipped sibling to the N8 brings a 4-inch Clear Black Display — whose name is no exaggeration, it’s as sharp and vibrant as any AMOLED screen we’ve seen so far — together with the latest version of Symbian, an 8 megapixel camera round the back, 16GB of onboard memory, and a finely crafted aluminum body. The slideout keyboard on this device is easily among the best we’ve ever handled, although the same can’t be said about the mechanism for opening it up. Nokia hasn’t been specific about the markets the E7 will be arriving in over the coming days, but the UK seems a lock and distribution should expand rapidly from there. Jump past the break for Nokia’s press release and a sweet little video promo.

Just think about this the next time a FedEx van comes speeding past you — that four-wheeled transporter could be carrying containers equipped with liquid nitrogen cooling that keeps its innards at a chilly -150 degrees Celsius. Don’t worry, though, says FedEx, the use of dry vapor is actually safer than the currently used dry ice and classifies this new methodology as non-hazardous. While we may like to poke fun, it sounds like a pretty legitimate boon for healthcare and biotechnology shipments, which can now be maintained at a deeply frozen temperature for up to 10 days at a time. FedEx will provide the self-sufficient container and collects it upon delivery of the goods, while also monitoring its condition during transit. No word on whether or when DiGiorno will be signing up for the service.

[Thanks, Pavel]

Well, what do you know: Notion Ink just announced that it will begin shipping its FCC and CE certified Adam tablet starting tomorrow today. If you pre-ordered, then you should see your delivery status update soon to the last week of January. That’s a lot better than February and much, much better than never which is always the risk when David takes on the Goliaths. Now we’ll see how it holds up to real-world usage — here’s hoping for some of that good JooJoo.

P.S. For what it’s worth, we’re still not seeing the shipping version of Adam — product NI3421A01 with guarantee code Y2G — in the FCC database. Anyone else?

[Thanks, Anthony]
