Nokia E72 ReviewRed starRed starRed starRed star White star

Poor Excellent

 

Look and feel

Sleek and stylish, the Nokia E72 reminds us of a slim BlackBerry and has a tactile keyboard.

Ease of Use

Nokia’s are eminently usable, although the optical trackpad was not as comfortable to use as those found on BlackBerrys. The keyboard is one of the best we’ve used on a smartphone, enabling super speedy typing.

Features

This is a business phone through and through, with excellent messaging capabilities and very accurate A-GPS. As a social networking device however, the applications fall somewhat short.

Performance

The E52 performs incredibly well, with fast internet browsing, accurate GPS, push-email and a superb keyboard.

Battery life

Battery life was very impressive. Even running multiple functions such as push-email continuously, the battery lasted two nights before needing to be charged.

Nokia E72

Pros: Excellent keyboard, great interface for email in Nokia Messaging, fast GPS, mammoth battery life
Cons: Users of Outlook that aren’t on the Exchange server won’t be able to access Outlook calendars, lack of available photo-sharing services, third-party apps not as well integrated as on other devices

Verdict: The E72 is a fine business device, but it doesn’t have quite the same consumer appeal that some of its competitors have
