The Nokia E72 v E71 Head To Head
The E72 press release itself stated that it was designed to build on the success of the E71. It in many ways in very similar to the E71 – dimensions, weight, form factor and so on, infact show the E71 and E72 to a layman on the street and chances are he’ll be at a loss to identify separately.
But there is quite a bit to the E72 that is new. The faster 600 mhz processor, feature pack 2 with all the fancy UI and under the hood improvements, a 3.5mm jack, a very good 5 Megapixel Camera and a few more things. But how good is it? Is it really worth the upgrade?
We find out in the following video.

Thanks for a super cool video, nice to see the devices head to head with good and relevant commentary.
How about GPS performance, did you notice a difference?
Does the new feature pack feature better integrated VOIP, or chat like gchat, ala the N900?
How is battery life compared?
Is the camera a big improvement, and can you make some youtube samples of the video function.
I am looking forward to the full review!
Olav, thank you for the kind words.
GPS – I haven’t tested it extensively but the E72 did accquire a lock reasonably quicky. I’d say it is similar to the E71 in this department, but it does have a compass which the E71 doesn’t.
VOIP/Chat – No there is no real improvement here. Infact my favourite VOIP app Truphone is not yet compatible with the E72.
Battery Life – Given similar usage the battery life technically should improve due to Feature Pack 2. However because of the better camera and 3.5mm jack I find myself using the E72 more than I did the E71 so the gain balances out.
Camera – It is a huge improvement. The E72 can even record in the VGA resolution although sadly at 15 FPS. But compared to the E72 its a huge plus. I’ll try and get a few samples for you.

E72 Bad Things:-
- It does not auto recognise capital alphabet like E71
- When u type fast it skips some alphabet
- When u insert a Image in a word sheet it doesnt recognise
- Whenever u restart ur phone most of the times u lose your email setting.
- Web browsing is slower than E71
- You cannot underline or use bold or italic through shortcuts in word like Ctrl U, B, I like E71
- This phones hangs now and then like a windows based.
- Contacts shortkey does allow u to add new contact after long hold.
- Basic Barcode reader is missing.
- Web Feeds in missing in he bookmark list, u need to go to setting and find it.
- Mailbox clock switches the date at 12 noon. So u get the mail dated to next date.
- Memory card in setting is missing which was usefull in E71, like format etc.
- Nokia has saved it time by not making new O.S. Has used N-Series user interface which does match with the E-Series User Interface.
- Optical Key not at all usefull
- The System is so slow that even setting come very slow, and if u try to select things fast then it leaves you back to the home screen including surfing mails.
-Battery Backup is only about 1 and half days, and more worse is that u cannot trust this phone as day 1 it shows full battery, and second day you wont even come to know when it comes from full to drain.
- Even if Wi-Fi server is not found it still says Hidden Wi-Fi found.
- In Opera 10 Browser u cannot use ‘U’ it only uses *
- Even space bar key hangs now and then and to use it we need to restart the phone.
People please tell Nokia to find a way out of all this..
Purchased Mocha Brown E72 today… trying to get hang of the trackpad and applications…
Surprising my piece is auto restarted twice in the first day (when I was removing the headset), and some times when scrolling through the mail box it just hanged for some time (bout 1 minute processing)…
Any idea guys, if this is an issue with my piece, particular model, or my network (Vodafone India)???
Thanks in advance for your feedback. Will keep you posted on my experience.
you know, i still think e63 better than both in ‘what you get’ comparison. i dont know with nokia, they always leaving ‘something’ to fix. and usually better at the next product..
