    The Nokia E72 smartphone is a replacement for the popular . It's a commendable smartphone and benefits from a few nice improvements, but E71 owners have little incentive to upgrade. Read more

    • Stylish design, QWERTY keyboard, optical navi key, Nokia Messaging, faster processor than predecessor, 3.5mm headphone jack
    • Symbian lacks polish compared to alternatives, small display, optical navi key can be annoying when Web browsing

    Well, what else can we say that wasn't already conveyed in the review? Simply said, Nokia got it right again. What they did with the E71 was all kept intact on the E72. Ok, so the optical track pad isn't exactly our best friend, and a smaller space bar does slightly hinder our typing speeds. But don't take it the wrong way; we still prefer the E72's QWERTY keyboard for its improved tactile feedback and great layout over other devices and its constricted keyboards. Read more

    This phone was amazing when I first got it (about 7months ago). However, about 4 months into owning it, i got a notification saying there were upgrades to be done so assuming it would make it better, i accepted. DO NOT DO THIS! If you have this phone and haven't been told to upgrade, then when it shows up, click cancel!! All the upgrades have done is ruined my phone! Read more

    • Easy to use, has most features

    It is good but I don't like how the buttons press in all the way but only half of the total way it makes it hard to know if the number has been submitted when the button only gets pressed in a little bit of the way Read more
