The Nokia 7700 was a mobile phone produced by Nokia, announced in 2003 but never released.
It was expected to be the first multimedia smartphone from Nokia, and the first smartphone to use the Series 90 GUI on Symbian OS.

It also included an integrated VGA camera with a maximum resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, an integrated FM radio, Bluetooth, USB and Nokia’s proprietary Pop-Port interface for connectivity purposes.
The 7700 was to include a comprehensive application suite (such as a complete PIM suite, ‘full’ Internet browser, e-mail client and an office suite comprising Word Processor, Spread-Sheet and a PowerPoint viewer) and supported Java MIDP 2.0 applications. It was also to be the first phone to support Visual Radio, and the first Nokia phone to support DVB-H mobile television with the addition of the Nokia Streamer SU-6 accessory.

It also featured ’sidetalking’ like the N-Gage, a feature that had attracted a great deal of negative publicity.
The Nokia 7710 followed later with increased memory, a different design, no ’sidetalking’ and other improvements. However, the 7700 was nevertheless used for further trials of DVB-H
