Marketed towards business users, the Nokia E72 looks a bit like a BlackBerry, with Windows-inspired functionality. As an upgrade to the Nokia E71, it is spot on – with plenty of new gadgets, gizmos, and features to make it a serious improvement over its predecessor.
The phone has a very business look about it, with a hard QWERTY keyboard featuring nicely-spaced, easy-to-use rounded buttons. Physically, while the phone resembles a BlackBerry, it is both thinner and lighter than most of their models – coming in at 10 mm thick and weighing 128 grams. The touch screen display is 2.4 inches. Available colours include White, Zodium Black, Metal Grey, Topaz Brown, Amethyst Purple, and ‘White Edition’.
Included in the new features are:
* A new optical navigational key for intuitive scrolling
* An easy-to-set-up and use email system with the ability to create separate in-boxes for personal and business email
* An upgraded 5 megapixel camera
* Top-loading 3.5 mm audio jack
* Personal and business profiles, with IM features
* A-GPS and compass with integrated maps
* Quick Office with Microsoft 2007 compatibility
The Nokia E72 is also a generally faster performer than its predecessor. It moves between applications easily, even with several open at once and provides quicker internet speeds for more-enjoyable web browsing.
