Nokia E72: My 5 Hour Date

Today I finally got the chance to play with the Nokia E72. I spent like 5 hours playing and examining the phone from different angles and usage point of view.

Remember, this is not a full review – so don’t expect me explaining each and every feature in detail. I had the E72 for almost 5 hours and had applied on the S60 Hero theme for Nokia E72. You can see it in the photo above along with my HTC Hero

Lightweight, Keyboard

So starting off with the brief review, my first impression after holding the phone was like, it’s really light! I also have a Nokia E71, and when compared to that, E72 is quite light in weight. Next was the keyboard. Keys are now a bit bigger in size as compared to the E71. I didn’t had my Nokia E71 today, instead I took my HTC Hero, otherwise I’d have compared both the phones in photos. Well, nevermind, I’ll do that in a week.

5 Megapixels Camera

Next thing I tried was the 5 megapixel camera that comes in the power-house E72. The photo quality is simply brilliant! Way better than my Nokia N96 (5 megapixels). This is one camera phone that capture photos like that of a digital camera. Really impressive results, I must say!

Optical Navi Key

Nokia has done an amazing job with the optical navi key. You can configure how much sensitive you want it to be and using it is really easy! No fuss of missing or skipping any touch inputs. It will work even with a feather!

Operating System – S60v3 FP2

The overall OS (S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2) has been greatly optimized for E72. I also have S60v3 FP2 on my Nokia N96, but there is a big difference in both the devices i.e speed and features.

This was my experience with the Nokia E72 in my 5 hour date with it. Will also upload photos of it with my HTC Hero in the next post.
