The Nokia E72 is basically a straight upgrade of the Nokia E71 including a faster processor and a better camera. The E71 has been out in the UK since June 2008 and is one of the best selling mobile phones for business users in the UK and overseas, so how does it size up to it’s older brother?
Nokia E72 business mobile Phone
It looks very similar to a typical Blackberry in terms of size, shape and the QWERTY keyboard but how does it really measure up to the other Smartphones on the market.
It is a very pretty phone as you will see from the video below, mind you, it’s not as nice as the new HTC Desire or for that matter the i-phone but i guess that is a matter of opinion; if you are a fan of the front facing QWERTY keyboard then you will probably find it quite a geeky turn on. It looks pretty business like with the silver rim running around the edge and simple style.
As with all of the Nokia E range there are the four short cut buttons under the screen for the home, calendar, contacts and email. Under these four are the call and end call buttons.
Between the short-cut buttons is a nice optical track pad for general navigation around the menu which is relatively responsive and nice to use.
The QWERTY keyboard keys are slightly tougher and more pronounced than on the Nokia E71 which makes for more accurate and quicker typing so a good improvement on its predecessor, the keys are softer than on the BlackBerry Bold 9700 as they are made of plastic but are not quite as pronounced so although an improvement on the E71 they are not as easy to use as the latest Blackberry QWERTY keys.
The Nokia E72 runs on the Symbian Series S60 third addition operating system and business mobile phone users will find the the office section within the menu is excellent as you can create notes, view AND create excel and word files with the Quickoffice, view PDFs, use a dictionary and calculator.
The home screen on the device gives quick access to a lot of features.
The media tab within the main menu takes you through to a further ten functions including a radio, media player, music store, recorder, gallery, camera, share online, realplayer, video centre and music search.
The media player can be used for listening to music and the new 3.5 mm headphone socket means that a larger number of standard headphones can be used with this mobile phone than with the Nokia E71. The sound quality is good and the supplied headphones are absolutely fine, but obviously not as good as specialist headphones – the sound goes up to a good volume, at least enough to drown out the goings on on the train to the office in the morning.
The video formats are a little limited but you can download a divx player to give you more choice.
The browser is fair; pages loaded quickly enough apart from a couple of the larger sites that i visited which took a good 5 to 10 seconds which, if you are on the phone to a client is not ideal and a little disappointing after having my hands on the HTC Desire.However, you can scroll down the page nice and easily.
The phone comes with both 3G and Wi-Fi so download speeds are pretty good. The main downer is the 2.4 inch screen which means that you cannot see the full web page on most screens so have to keep scrolling from right to left – this is my pet hate with web browsing on mobile phones so a big cross mark on this one.
Messaging and emailing is nice and easy with the QWERTY keyboard, when you first go into the email function you will be prompted to connect your accounts.It is not really comparable to many of the other Smartphones out there but is pretty good none the less.
One function that i really liked was that you could have 2 profiles running on the phone; one for business mobile use and one for when you leave the office.
You can have your email with Microsoft exchange at work and then on hotmail or whatever you use in the evening. you can also have a diary for business and one for your social life. It’s always good to have a clear definition between the two sides to your life so a great feature – nice one!
The cameras on Nokia phones are usually pretty good and they have done so again with the nokia E72 as it is a 5 mega pixel camera so pretty good quality – the LED flash was basic but had OK results – as with most mobile phones it performs best outside in good light.
The Nokia E72 can be had for free on a ÂŁ20-per-month, 24-month contract, or for around ÂŁ300 SIM-free so pretty cheap as business mobile phones go for small numbers of users.

Mobile World Congress 2008 This year, Nokia headline with their Internet Services. Nokia President and CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo reinforces the company’s vision and embraces the Internet by unveiling a new line up of converged devices and services that promote collaboration and sharing. The new handsets all exhibit different location based and multimedia experiences, from pedestrian navigation to geotagging and movie viewing to video and photo sharing. Nokia sees mapping and navigation as a fundamental platform for the mobile phones of the future. They also reveal the next step towards Ovi, the Internet service environment, by introducing ‘Share on Ovi’. The N78 will be the first device to hit the market with ‘Share on Ovi’, which gives users a one-stop-shop for uploading, sharing and reusing personal media. The first Ovi branded service to be available on the market, it is completely integrated in the phone and allows on the move access to your personal online. More Ovi branded services can be expected later in the year, as Nokia build on their position in the internet services market. But before you can share, you must create, and Nokia’s newest additions to the Nseries range, the N96 and N78, take creating content to another level. The N96 offers 16GB of memory, or 25 Hollywood blockbusters’ worth of video. Also available with the N96 is the latest DVB-H technology which lets you access live TV on the move, as well as streaming video from the web. The N78 takes ‘Share …

London, UK — Just as Nokia once made the transition from marketing rubber boots and paper products to mobile phones, with the introduction of Ovi, the company is now expanding to offer a range of Internet services. Ovi, meaning ‘door’ in Finnish, enables consumers to easily access their existing social network, communities and content, as well as acting as a gateway to Nokia services. This platform will be a services revolution for the 900 million people around the world. As part of Ovi, Nokia announced the Nokia Music Store and N-Gage, two services that make it easy for people to discover, try and buy music and games from a blockbuster range of artists and publishers, including exclusive content only available through Nokia. Also under the Ovi umbrella is Nokia Maps, a navigation service that offers maps, city guides and more directly to compatible mobile devices. Nokia aims to bring more Internet based services to Ovi in the coming months. Produced for Nokia
