The Nokia E72 smartphone is a member of the Nokia E-Series and is a replacement for the E71. It is a very capable smartphone and has a number of neat features.

The Nokia E-Series prides itself on being smart and business savvy, and the E72 is no exception. A blend of matte black trimmings and gloss chrome edges combined with a patterned stainless steel battery cover makes the Nokia E72 a stylish package. While the handset is smaller than other smartphones it is clear from seeing and holding this handset that it is masterfully built.

A full QWERTY keyboard is a distinguishing feature of the E72, and dedicated keys for the more commonly used symbols (!, @ and ?) make it refreshingly easy to use. A new control called an optical navi key aids navigation even more. The navi key looks like a normal five-way navigational pad, but the centre button can be used with a swipe of your finger, similar to a laptop mouse pad. This latest feature is particularly good for web browsing and shows just how smart the Nokia E72 really is.

Connectivity is a breeze as the E72 accommodates a wealth of e-mail applications, synchronisation options and instant messaging perks. You can access and sort your emails, synchronise your calendar information and chat using your Windows Live Messenger account easily and with no extra licensing costs. Other included applications include an Adobe PDF viewer and a Microsoft Quick Office suite.

The Nokia E72 has Wi-Fi, a built-in GPS, HSDPA connectivity, Flash compatibility and Bluetooth as well as a built-in compass. With all of these features one would be forgiven for thinking that the E72 is sluggish, but that is not the case. This Nokia handset is fast, offering speedy web browsing and no lag at all when using the phone. If you don’t like your work getting in the way of your life, you can even set up and switch between business and personal mode.
Other fun features include a 5 megapixel camera with an LED flash, a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD capability with a 1GB card included.
