News About Nokia Astound Review: Part 1 – Overall Design
What’s up to one of the newest handsets of T-mobile that was introduced officially at CTIA 2011? The Nokia Astound has been made available for interested customers at the same time it was launched. So after for more than a week this handset has been lurking in the market, I think it’s worth a review, thanks to some nice dudes at PhoneArena.

So for the first, I’ll talk about its overall design. Born as the American version of the Nokia C7, Nokia Astound bears no difference with its oversea cousin in terms of the exterior. Except the T-Mobile branded inscription you find in the lower part of the handset, you won’t find any other visible difference. Even though it’s classified as a mid-range device, its outer look that’s supported with a chrome trim bezel, a tough plastic shell, and a stainless steel back cover is surely eye catching. You won’t even know that this handset is intended for mid-range market, so I guess Nokia should thank to its builder for making such pretty nice outlook.
Furthermore, the construction feels solid in hands, regardless the plastic that most parts of it are made of. Sadly, its shiny luster is really easy to invite your fingerprints, so you might want to think more to lend it to some men with some rough hand palm. No matter what, I can say that this handset is perfectly sized that it feels very comfortable in hands, even though you may find it has some slight of weight (4.59 oz). so compared to former Nokia device bound to T-mo, the Nokia Nuron. The Astound is distinctly ahead in the sense of overall design.
