Would like to upgrade my N73ME after so many years of usage

Here is the requirements that I need.

1. >3.2mega pixel camera
2. Xenon Flash (NOT NECESSARY)
3. Wifi/WLAN
4. 3G (WCDMA)
5. Full qwerty keyboard
6. DO NOT want touch screen
7. GPS Navigation (A-GPS)
8. Push email support (Won't be on unlimited data, will use Wifi to download email only)
9. Budget? S$700 (+-RM1700)

Am currently looking at Nokia E72, but the keyboard seems smaller than Blackberry Bold.

Please advise

cmon2..any insiders bout e72 yet?

it shud be very very soon..lol

Look forward to a December launch peeps. My hunch is November being the earliest. Why december? nokia.co.id told me so.

Been waiting for this phone since June, makes me wanna buy a non-Nokia to spite them. Huarghh.

Since June? Haha uve come a long way already. Just a lil more patience that is all it takes.

Hopefully the rumors of the e72 to be made available here in MY only in Jan 2010 arent true. Although the possibilities are there.

How much will E72 cost?

User61: yes, it's December launch as I just came back from Nokia at the Curve.

dec? After waiting so long im now thinking whether i should just go for an android phone like htc magic..

Ranging from RM1600-1900 most probably (APs & Zitrons)

Btw, thanks Phoenix for the info. Hopefuly the NOKIA personnel gave the right info not another b.s

We need a specific date/month at least from NOKIA. Thats all.

A few days back, I actually called Nokia (the 1800 number that is shown at the bottom of the Nokia advertisement in the newspaper) asking about the launch date of the E72 and a lady with a funny accent told me "sometime in the 3rd Quarter of the year". Then I told her, "Its the 4th Quarter now" and she kept quiet for about 2 seconds and then told me that she will check with her manager.

about 5 mins later, she said "sometime in November", but cannot confirm on the date or anything. So I really hope that she or her manager is right.

And also, the color available will most probably be Zodium Black.

Aint sure whether other places might have the Topaz Brown and the other one I couldnt recall its color name.

Am eyeing for the Topaz Brown. But black also looks good.

What is the color u gentle lads here would prefer to choose if they are available in those 3 colors mentions?

Quick question: Does the E71 color, peel off by itself? I mean, for users with sweaty palms surely would jeopardise the color coatings. Anyone?

Ok NOKIA, u win. NOKIA-1 Customers-0

It makes sense though, that NOKIA purposely delays the E72 launchings. Just to clear the E71s off the shelves for the new 72s to make way. By discontinuing and clearing them off, they can set a price for the 72s without any disturbance by the 71s in the market. While spreading speculations that the 72s' firmwares were unstable, bugs, blablayadayada. Pure PROPAGANDA.

Logically, 72 gets launched, 71 gets cheaper. For people who dont bother, they'd opt for 71 as what they are doing now.

The only problem was, the announcement@lie made by NOKIA regarding its launching date.

Just wondering whenever there's a new product launch by Nokia, sure there's delay....other country already have and why M'sia is always slow....hmmmm....

Just look at the i-phone, ppl been using for more than 2 years only launch in M'sia......

You sure? Few months back, Nokia - One Utama told me that its coming in August...

But till today still no news.. zzzz

Btw i was just wondering if Nokia E71 can do "sliding effect" like the in the Nokia E72.. It would look cool with the 3D effects and all

u mean the trackball button? nope..e71 doesnt have that..

Looks like Belgium is probably going to get the E72 by mid November. http://www.astel.be/Nokia-E72-Azerty-Black...418-90euro_3515

Yeahhh 1Belgium babyhh!!

opps sorry for the late reply. I got it wrong, its not e55, its e52. Got it at RM1250. Ori version. So far i heard no ap version yet.

So far no major hang apart from Garmin. But it seems Garmin is not hanging anymore. Infact running garmin side by side with another e66, it seems e52's reception is way way better. I can sometimes get gps signal even under a roof but not the e66.

ANGELz: I'm not sure as I don't work in Nokia. I'm just sharing what I was told by the staff working there.

I WANT THIS PHONE SO BAD!

but it seems like nokia doesn't really want us to have this phone

isnt RM1700 - 1900 range a lil high for E72? no touchscreen, Symbian OS....?

when E71 1st came out, it was RM1400+ for Ori, no? I only see some minor upgrades compared to E71, will it really be RM1700 - RM1900?

if it's really so, its quite a turn off :-S
