Suggestions to the Firmware Team...
1. When dialing a number, the left soft key says 'loudpeaker', once
the number connects, this shifts to the right soft key. This is rather
confusing. I expect one softkey to remain as the 'loudspeaker' key
either during the dialing process or after connection.
2. The phonebook search could include numbers. Like if I want to
search 98100......, the search should show me numbers beginning with
98100 in my phone book. All windows mobile phones have this lovely
feature.
3. Symbian team could work at making shortcuts of all keys (long
press). i.e. if I set long press 'c' for camera, long press 'e' for
email, long press 'k' for calculator, r for 'recorder' and even use
some for speed dialing like a for 'Arpit' etc, a lot of my navigation
through menus is reduced. All keys could be used for short cuts or at
least the alphabet keys.
4. They should consider adding a feature to find duplicate numbers in
the phone book.
5. The navi key makes you jump just one icon in the menu screen with
one scroll even at high sensitivity. There should be an option to
enhance this sensitivity so that users could scroll the entire length
or breadth of the screen with one finger swipe. It reduces effort.
6. The bluetooth key is a good idea, but there should be an option to
use this key for a. turning bt off or on (as it is already there), or
b. turing on the main bt screen (this is sometimes required to connect
your paired device and eliminates the need for going through the
menus.)
7. On the menu screen, there could be an option to turn off the menu
labels and hence pack more menu icons on the screen. The menu labels
of selected icon could display at the top of the screen.
8. The icons could be less colorful on a business phone, so all Nokia
needs to do is come ont with a serious business theme with simple,
colorless icons.
9. On selecting a contact, there should be an option to 'set meeting'
with the contact and open the calendar screen with the contact details
populated.
10. In the music player, while the music is playing, there should be
an option>lock keypad so that the optical key does not get activated
by mistake. (currently you need to go to main screen and lock, this is
cumbersome)

Hi
Absolutely great review and very very interesting as well. I am torn between the E72 and the new Blackberry 9700. Got burned earlier this year with the N97 and now very wary of Nokia build quiality - The loose battery cover worries me somewhat and I heard in the Nokia forums that the nokia messaging doesn't fully synch with google eg mail, calendars and contacts? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks for the great review - much more user orientated thatn the other sites eg phonearena or gsamarena.

Brilliant! Thanks for providing such a great reivew.

I am wondering how many pages could be opened at the same time while browsering, as i am a little bit worried about the 40m ram on boot which could propably lead to a serious problems for opening multiple taps. Cheers.

Hi, thanks for the detailed review. I'm also currently a E71 and N97 user but I tend to do most stuff with the e71 because it is easier and actually quicker to use than the N97. I have a lot of videos that were recoreded via the N97 and as you know it is 30fps. Can I playback the videos from N97 on the E72? ..will it playback slower at 15fps, basically I want to know what will happen? I want to get the E72 and then get rid of N97 and the E71 and keep just one phone. I'm broke like you and i can relate to your experieince with the N97 and E71. I've also made the transition from being a Nokia E90 user so i think E90 user can easily convert to E72 even though a much smaller screen. I just find the E71/72 much more ergonomic, easier to travel with and smarter looking phone. Finally, can you please upload videos recorded via the E72 so i can see the quality and how it works? I want to know if i can downgrade from 30fps to 15fps, if the is images quality is good I will make the sacrifice! Let me know more. Thanking you in advance and keep up the good job. Regards JP

Hi there, thanks for this outstanding review, i would like to know if anyone can tell why the framerate in videorecording is limited to 15fps. Is it a legal issue? - the e71 could do more fps - i really wonder! technically it should be possible to atleast record 25 fps... hopefully a 3rd party app will solve this problem. Any inside information about this available?

Great review! It covers pritty much everything I could ever think of!

Yet..:) I am interested to see what the 600 Mhz processor does to the startup time of java-apps like opera en gmail. Could you post a small time comparrisment between the e71 and e72?

2009-09-21T21:36:03.049+03:00

It's not fixed well. I had mentioned in my first post that it was loose, you can slightly move it up and down with your thumb.

I'm not sure if this will be the case with the final handsets that will be marketed and I'm always taking into consideration that the one I have is a proto, so I will neither confirm nor deny it :) I hope I can soon get my hands on an early retail package to check that out. I'm as concerned as you are.

Can you please tell / test if the back-cover (metal plate) is fixed well. I read somewhere that it can be a bit loosely / moved.

Gmail app works great, just like on the E71. I took some screenshots, will upload them in the upcoming post. You can also go with the Nokia standard e-mail app, working there as well.

Xantar76, no issues with the signal strength. I tried a phone call and browsing using WAP, never seemed to drop below 7 bars.

Anonymous (Optical Navi Key) since your thumb has to come in full contact with the Navi Key, it's pretty hard to draw circles. Everything eles works fine (up down left right and diagonally) and you can try to draw circles but don't expect that to turn out fancy. All you get is a cursor moving a millimeter in all directions.

Jke, I believe it's the WH-601, but since I don't have the sales package (I only got the handset) I cannot confirm that. The early specs say it's the 601 while if you go here http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/sales-package-accessories and choose E72 from the list, you can clearly see it's the WH-102. Sales package may differ so we'll have to wait.

Tejas, Nokia Messaging is native, it supports both plain text and HTML. If you've set it to view emails in plain text, once you open a certain email you can click "view HTML message" straight beneath the subject. I will attach screenshots in the next post.

And yes it can handle 16GB cards, I'm sure. I'll do a piece on email so don't worry about it.

2009-09-21T04:53:04.989+03:00

Great review!..one question i've searched the web for the longest while is if the navi pad can be use as say, a laptop's touch pad when browsing. That is, the ability to navigate up down AND diagonally and not jus when scrolling , as in a blackberry's trackball or there own navi pad in there new curve. An example is to let say i mover my thumb in a circle on the navi pad, would the cursor also move in a circle or is it limited to up down and left or right movements?

Exactly, I understand that holding the phone set to receive the phone as with the E71.
I hope that in E72 receiving remains optimal and that the notches of receipt kept at optimal levels while clutching when you call or surfing.

2009-09-21T02:51:42.329+03:00

Esatto, intendo che tenendo in mano il telefono cala la ricezione del telefono come succede con il E71.
Spero che in E72 la ricezione resti ottimale e che le tacche di ricezione restino a livelli ottimi pur stringendolo in mano mentre si telefona o si naviga in rete.

2009-09-21T02:44:36.831+03:00

No worries about the request, you're on the list and up in the next post :)
As for what you've said about the hand effect, I'll try that ASAP and get back to you guys.
6630 is a great device, one of the best Nokias ever. I'm sure you'll love the E72.
