While the tablet computing market has exploded with devices like Apple’s iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab becoming global success stories, a mobile device with a 7 or 10inch screen may not be for you.

Perhaps this is the reason that now, instead of shrinking in size, many of the latest mobile phones are now surprisingly large.

With a 3.5 inch display (same as Apple’s iPhone), Nokia’s C7 is one of the latest smartphones to feature a large screen which naturally lends itself to displaying more of what you need to see at a single glance.

For social networkers, the C7 displays updates from FAcebook and Twitter on the homescreen and features at 8MP camera with HD video recording. As an extra incentive to pick up this handset Vodafone users will have free access to thousands of useful apps from the Ovi Store and from the 4th April 2011 until the 31st May 2011.
