Nokia E72 - Latest Review - Dec'09


Review on Nokia E72


Frankly speaking, I've been blown away by the new Nokia E72. So often with upgrades or new additions to series we found that there's no great deal has been altered about a phone, even if the launch has been fanfared and the price increased. Not so with this new Nokia.

They´ve raised the bar several notches in the business phone sector and if you´re in the market for something like this, we couldn´t recommend the E72 more highly. Although the original E71 has been used for the nuts, bolts and general looks of the new E72, there´s more changes and significant ones at that to warrant a good hard second look.



Sweet Nokia E72


The E71 was Nokia´s best ever selling QWERTY-keyboard handset, but as VP of Nokia Ilari Nurmi has been quoted as saying, “Despite the outstanding market performance of the Nokia E71, we still continually look for ways to enhance the device." And boy have they.

Here´s my top ten of the new gadgets, gizmo, go-fasters and gorgeous things on-board:

  1. New optical navigation key for intuitive scrolling and fast panning
  2. Desktop like email experience imported from the E75
  3. Camera upgraded to 5 megapixels (with autofocus and flash)
  4. Top-loading 3.5 mm audio jack added
  5. New IM features allowing you to connect to your current IM accounts (Yahoo, Google, Ovi, etc.)
  6. Faster general performance and internet speeds thanks to upgrades to how the Symbian S60 system runs
  7. A-GPS and compass with integrated Maps
  8. Active noise cancellation helping improve general call quality
  9. Spacebar key-activated torch function
  10. New version of Quickoffice, delivering Microsoft Office 2007 compatibility (along with access to any subsequent upgrades)

Appearance
Thinner and lighter than most Blackberries out there, the E72 is also a stunning looker of a business phone. Slim at only 10mm thick, the phone still seems incredibly solid and well built with a very metallic feel and great curves, yet the whole package still weighs only 128 grams.

Nokia E72 from all angles..AWESOME !!
The 2.4-inch display might not be quite as crisp as some other business phones, lacking slightly in the pixel department, but then we feel if you´re choosing a QWERTY-keyboard-based phone, you´re already more than happy to accept that you´re not going to have all singing, all-dancing 3.8” touch-screen style.

This is a business phone, not an entertainment device. Saying that though, the 3.5mm jack is a fantastic addition, and the E72 also features an FM radio, which most other business phones lack.

Summary
If you really need a business phone, there´s currently nothing better on the market. Nokia impressed with the E71, as fantastic sales proved. But the E72 blows the competition away on just about every count. Sleek, great to handle, impressive performance and upgradeability: it got it all.

Currently retailed at Nokia outlets for RM1700 but of course you can get it at much lower price, if you know where to get it =)
