Originally released in October 2009, the Nokia E72 has proved to be a popular handset. With the recent addition of a Silver version, appeal of the handset looks sure to increase.
Measuring 114x58x10mm, this slim line handset weighs 128g so it is comfortable to hold and use on the move. An impressive 21.36 inch TFT screen displays a whopping 16 million colours at a pixel resolution of 320x240. A full QWERTY keyboard is located on the front of the handset offering an efficient means of entering text.
Users can customise the ringing styles of the phone with the option to download polyphonic ringtones as well as utilize MP3 files for the purpose. Vibration alerts users to incoming calls and messages as an alternative. For hands free communication a speakerphone system is installed alongside a 3.5mm audio jack which accommodates hands free kits and earphones for listening to music.
Class 32 GPRS and EDGE provide the initial means of network connection, whilst HSDPA and HSUPA kick in where 3G coverage is available. For a faster internet connection, Wi-Fi connectivity utilizes the signal provided by local wireless internet routers dependent on location. For transferring files between compatible devices in the same area, Bluetooth is installed, whilst a micro USB (v2.0) connection allows users to connect the phone to a computer for transferring and backing up files.
A wide variety of media files in both music and video formats are accommodated by the media player built in to the E72 Silver. Alternative entertainment applications include downloadable games and a stereo FM radio player.
A digital camera is built in to the Nokia E72 Silver. It features 5 mega pixels which operate at a pixel resolution of 2592x1944 pixels meaning that photos of high quality can be taken. The task is simplified somewhat with the addition of autofocus and LED flash. It can shoot video as well, in VGA quality at 15 frames per second. The video call feature is included, whereby one can film themselves whilst talking on the phone, and the recipient can view live streaming, and vice versa. Both parties must have compatible handsets, however.
Music and video files as well as photos and other data can be stored in handsets pre-installed 250MB of storage. Should this not be adequate though, a micro SD slot can accommodate a memory card of up to 16GB.
Several extra features add to the spec list making this a very versatile handset. For example, GPS with A-GPS support allows certain applications to function based on the location of the handset, such as a Digital Compass. A document editor is compatible with Office programs, whilst a voice memo recorder and an organizer both add to the everyday functionality.
The handset is available in a range of colours so will appeal to style conscious users, whilst features such as the full QWERTY keyboard will appeal to fans of more classic technology.
