Nokia E72 in the house!

17112009021Regular readers of last100 will know how much I like Nokia’s QWERTY touting E71, with it superb keyboard and BlackBerry-esque – only more svelte – form factor. I was therefore really looking forward to the E72 (see ‘My favorite smartphone just got superseded‘)

The E72 keeps much of the same design as the classic E71 but adds a slightly faster processor, an updated version of the operating system – Symbian S60 3rd edition feature pack 2 – better camera and a mini track pad for “easier” scrolling through web pages and email (luckily it can be turned off). The wait was a long time coming, however, as the E72 got delayed and delayed.

It finally went on sale last month in the UK and, shortly after, Nokia kindly sent me a loan unit, which I’ve been using as my main device for a few weeks and hope to write full review very soon. In the meantime, if you have any questions about the device, leave a comment and I’ll answer as best I can.

    I have ordered an E72, haven't received it yet. But I'm becoming a little concerned with some recent reviews of it being unstable. Have you had any problems in this area…or any other notable problems with this phone.

    Hi Pam,

    No problems so far. Not a single freeze/crash. Rock solid.

    versi sistem operasi – Symbian S60 3rd edition fitur paket 2 – kamera yang lebih baik dan mini track pad untuk “lebih mudah” menggulir halaman web dan email (untungnya dapat dimatikan). Penantiannya lama sekali
