Review: Part 1 (Video & Pictures)Part 2 (Specs & Features)Part 3 (E71 vs E72)

Hey all,

Thanks to the people over at WOMWorld/Nokia, I had a Nokia E72 to trial for a couple of weeks.

Last week I uploaded an unboxing and quick tour around the phone (see here), and I now have a much more thorough review of the phone uploaded, and ready for your viewing pleasure!

I hope you found that useful!

The E72 is a really nice device, and they have tweaked the external and internal parts of the phone exactly in the right ways from it’s predecessor, the E71, which is why Nokia will always be the biggest mobile phone manufacturer in the world!

Left & Right

On the left you will see:

  • Micro USB connector (data and charging)
  • MicroSD memory card slot (comes with 4GB, nokia state it can cope with upto 16GB but i’m sure if you could afford one, a 64GB card would work fine)
