Review of GSM/UMTS-smartphone Nokia E72
Mobile-review have posted their review of the Nokia E72. Here is their final impression.
As far as call quality goes, we couldn't find any differences between the E71 and E72. However their ring tones do sound differently because of the relocated speakerphone in the E72; let me put it this way: the E72 sounded a bit muffled in my pocket, but was louder when put face-up on a table. All in all, nothing to worry about. The vibro alert hasn't changed a bit.
The E72 sports a different battery cover design, although it's not much of an improvement compared to the previous one - they are both pretty reliable.
As for other aspects, the E72 has become a lot speedier, and got a big 20-percent boost in terms of battery endurance (compared to the E71). Much of the credit here goes to the FP2. Its camera, while not astonishing, trumps the Nokia E71 hands-down as well.
The phone also employs Noise Cancelation system, which is implemented in the form of two microphones - each analyzes environment sounds and blocks outside noise. In the E72 this feature works fairly well, as opposed to the E52, where its software setup is far from perfect (although Nokia will fix this in new firmware versions).
On balance, the Nokia E72 is a very appealing phone - being an update of the E71 it packs in a plethora of enhancements and improvements of most core features, and if you can't decide which one to choose, definitely go for the E72, unless you're in the market for a cheaper solution. The E72 retails for around 350 Euro, which is the same watermark that the E71's kicked off at. In my opinion, if you're looking for a QWERTY-enabled solution, the only options you have these days are the E71 and E72, since everything else require you to compromise to a certain extent.
