Nokia's E72 revealed by way of YouTube

Useless without blackberry connect.

heh… must be said (for the millionth time) the “Z” key is too far to the left

this is what we call a ‘nokia-gasm’

people are saying that in “The Hangover” it’s an E71, but im pretty sure it’s this E72 that the character in the movie has!

when he’s holding the phone in the movie, you can notice the 3 sliver side keys that that the e71 doesnt have!

Not defending RIM by any means, but any OS looks primative compared to the iPhone and webOS. But have you ever even used a Nokia? Looks like the themes were made in MS Paint. It’s so cheesy no wonder we NEVER sell them.

Which is too bad because Nokia phones get stellar reception, better than any other brand by far.

i’ve been waiting for an upgrade for my e51 for a while now. i was so close to getting an e71, looks like i’ll hold off a little longer til this thing is released.

It’s back up. Actually, there’s a bunch of e72 vids:

(see the related videos)

It’s official…

The e71 is a bomb little phone..almost. A little too heavy and all that steel makes it one slippery bastard when all fingerprinted. The only complain i have with the phone, and it’s a big one, is that there is no push email. The email that IS on the phone does not work properly. One day it would work, the next day it wouldn’t. One day it would pull emails off of my Sympatico account (at 30 min intervals mind you), the next day i’d be getting no emails all day till i manually pull ‘em myself an vous la, 15 emails show up from like 8 hours ago. This happened without rhyme or reason. I couldn’t solve this problem. My old school e70 had the same problem. Of course the e70 also had BB Connect so that problem vanished. However today BB Connect = kaputt, hence e71 = lame. No email?, no phone. Sorry. Go buy a ‘made from recycled phones’ Ericsson if u want a media phone. Then of course there is the iphone which doesn’t really do anything properly lol

BG, this comment is generaly comment for your benifit.

BG, I think you need to start looking at phones from global audiiance perspective. I have been taking to a few of friends in Singapore, Hong Kong Tokyo, Taipie, all of them techie expats, about the sites which they prefer to get their reviews from you site is going down the list and fast.

Yes, but if your site is only for US reader, please put it in big banner. Look at the shipments of the phone and global response to it.

Atleast initially its looked like you had balanced view, but now its just plain and simple stupidity that you are focusing only on US readership.

BG, is a overall comment and observation on your blog and its status.

I can’t stand the keyboard – it’s so small!

It looks to be the same keyboard as the E71 – I got rid of my E71 and went back to my Bold within a day. RIM, for all their other shortcomings, makes a damn fine keyboard.

So when you aren`t happy with the native client and want push mail, why don`t you go for one of these options?

Nokia Messaging
Emoze
Seven
Profi Mail

All of these clients are way better then the original and I don`t miss my BB anymore. Also I wouldn`t buy a BB, until they offer a decent onbard navigation.

the optical mouse pad is righteous
i want one, ..goodbye blackberry..

@ Ralf:

I had the phone last year from june to about november. I had no idea those apps were around. Too bad cause i might still have the phone.

The nokia email client from http://www.nokiaemail.com.is no longer in Beta. So you do not have to use the email client that came witht the phone anymore. It also supports html. You get your email through a constant Sync. Witt the servers. I now get my email on my e71 just like you do on Blackberry.

@ everyone who keeps saying E71x in here, including the writer of this article.

Have you all gone insane?? This isn’t replacing the E71x, at&t’s bad rendition of the E71. It’s replacing the original, and wonderfully successful E71. And yes I had to clarify that because there is a difference between the two and I’m aware that a lot of the US market doesn’t even know the E71 exists still. Some don’t know anything other than the E71x, and while that’s a shame, it’s totally understandable and you people need to see what you’re not getting from at&t because they’re too worried about their so called product line. This is a tech blog dammit. You guys should know this is replacing the E71. The E71x shouldn’t even cross your mind.

That does however make me wonder though… Would at&t actually launch a Nokia smartphone without totally ruining it if they happened to offer this? I mean, it’s got FP2 so you would think there would be no need for them to load their BS version of it onto it, but hey, this is at&t, and they seem to always have to kick Nokia down a few notches.

I really believe the e71 to be the finest phone Nokia has ever made. The e72 seems to be an excellent refinement of what was already a fantastic phone. I’ll be purchasing one (or more) the day it is released. I hope Nokia continue their excellent work in this direction. I believe these phones shame anything Blackberry has to offer, and have secured Nokia’s position as the clear leader in the QWERTY smartphone category. The build-quality and form factor (thin) are unmatched. The e-series’ success is proof Nokia has been listening to consumer demand in this form-factor, something I can’t say regarding their touchscreen efforts (resistive? in 2009? a stylus?). Keep up the excellent work, Nokia!!!
