got bad reviews/problems meh...?
wow!... i suppose this is the high end of the price... most e-sellers are selling at 1530-1560... but seriously looking for below 1500 price...

d pad clicking - i dont have that problem
gps doesnt really work - i've installed garmin.. its working ok
phone hangs - didnt hit it..
light leak - well actually at first i think it is the case.. but when everyone says that their unit home button have a small space under it then means that its the same for all set..

so.. other then the so called light leak.. im happy with it hehehe..

The phone is definitely a lil wonky. Hopefully it's just early firmware problems. I woke up today to my whole phone "breathing", not just the light on the nav-pad but the whole keypad + lcd. I can' do anything with it as there's no display, just the lights going on and off periodically. I had to take out my battery to stop it.

Nokia better give us a stable firmware with lots of fixes soon! They didn't make use of the long delay well.

To those comparing E72 to iphone or E71 or even some other older model, it isnt fair to compare it an eye for an eye in its state of launch to exisiting product.
All those phones you mentioned are mature and have already had firmwares and many batches of releases to smoothen out any irregularities.
You should do an apple to apple(pun not intended) comparison ie, each products launch period to E72's current state now.
I am an E52 owner and I can tell you that when it first came out, it too had some issues, and dont let me start on the problems iphone had at its launch.
But im not saying this to put down other models, but in time all phones will mature to its optimized state, unless the company bankrupts
