Building on the formula from the hugely successful Nokia E71, Nokia's best selling QWERTY cell phone to date, this latest handset in Nokia's E-series family maintains essential elements of its predecessor, whilst still improving its capabilities in a number of areas. "Despite the outstanding market performance of the Nokia E71, we still continually look for ways to enhance the handset," said Ilari Nurmi, Vice President at Nokia. "So we included the desktop like email experience from the Nokia E75 cell phone and gave it a new optical navigation key for more intuitive scrolling through menus, emails and fast panning of images. We also upgraded the camera to 5 megapixels and added a standard 3.5 mm audio jack."
Nokia E72 messaging phone
On top of these developments, for the first time, Nokia E72 cell phone owners will be able to set up instant messaging (IM) accounts provided by Nokia Messaging direct from the homescreen. In just a few steps, Nokia E72 mobile phone owners will be able to connect to their favorite IM accounts such as Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk and Ovi, amongst many others. These new IM features are complimented by Nokia's range of email solutions with a lifetime license for Nokia's mobile email and IM service, Nokia Messaging, as well as onboard clients for Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveler.
Nokia E72 features
Performance improvements are evident throughout the user experience including faster Internet up- and downlink speeds. Other notable cell phone features which should make the Nokia E72 handset as popular as recent Nokia Eseries introductions include A-GPS and compass with integrated Maps, including lifetime walk and 10 days of turn-by-turn navigation if activated within the first three months. Conversations are also clearer with active noise cancellation, and a torch can be activated with a single press of the spacebar key. The office capabilities have been updated with a new version of Quickoffice, which delivers Microsoft Office 2007 compatibility as well as free version upgrades when new features become available.
