Exclusive to T-Mobile USA, the Nokia C7-Astound offers a sleek stainless-steel design featuring an 8-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash and 720p HD video capture, a brilliant 3.5-inch capacitive touch AMOLED display, free turn-by-turn navigation and access to thousands of free and paid apps via Nokia’s Ovi Store.
Consumers can kick back and enjoy Astound’s entertainment features by playing pre-loaded games like Fruit Ninja, listening to the lastest music with the Slacker Radio app, or browsing their own music and video collection, right at their fingertips.
When consumers turn to Ovi Store, make sure they see your apps:
If you already have Symbian^3 apps in the store that are compatible with N8-00 or C7-00 and are distributed in the USA, just add the C7-00_1 to your device distribution list and increase your reach.
The Nokia Astound will be available nationwide starting April 6 through T-Mobile retail stores and online at http://www.t-mobile.com for $79.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate card with a two-year service agreement and qualifying voice and data plan.

@grekker > The Nokia C7 Astound, available on T-Mobile in the US, is compatible with existing Qt-based apps. However the timing for when those apps will be published to Ovi Store depends on the release date of the Qt SDK 1.1, which is currently in beta. As soon as more information is available about the final release of the Nokia Qt SDK 1.1 we will post an update to this blog entry.

'3DPhotoFree' is Qt based and is fully compatible with the C7 Astound.
Cheers.
Are existing Qt apps compatible with C7-00_1?
grekker | 26/03/2011, 12:05
Because a comment from QA says no, and that device is left pending.
All my apps are marked "Assumed to work" for C7-00_1, is that enough or do I need to do something more?
Like is a rebuild with Qt SDK 1.1 required, or is binary compatibility ensured?
