Nokia E72 Review

Background Information – Look n’ Feel

The Nokia E72 business phone appears to be the successor of the Nokia E71, hence it looks very similar. It comes in carbon black, subtle purple, copper brown, and a metallic grey. For quite a relatively heavy phone, at 128g, the Nokia E72 is very slim and feels easy in the hand. The smart phone measures in at 11.4cm tall by 5.8cm wide by 1cm deep, with a screen of 2.36 inches.

Hardware – Display, Keyboard, Battery, Communications, Memory, Connectors

The Nokia E72 is yet another QWERTY keyboard, Blackberry style phone. For some, the QWERTY keyboard makes using the internet and accessing emails quicker and easier than the alphanumeric keypads seen in older models. The person using the phone can view documents in a number of formats, including PDF files, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

The phone has a 5 megapixel camera, with auto focus, LED flash, and video recording capabilities. There is also a secondary VGA camera to use for video calls at the front of the phone.

This mobile has a very good connectivity selection, including HSDPA, HSUPA, WCDMA, GPRS, EGSM, and WLAN.

A small criticism of this smartphone is the poor internal memory of 4GB, which can be expandable up to 16GB. On the other hand, there is a FM radio feature on this model, which isn’t typical of other business phones, so it’s quite unusual, but can be very convenient when you’re on the go.

This phone has a Li-Po (Lithium polymer) type battery, that gives you 576 hours stand by time, and 6 hours talk time, which is nothing out of the ordinary and quite a standard battery life.

Availability and pricing

This has been available in the UK since October 2009. It retails in Europe for €370 EUROS, which is approximately £320.
