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

I agree.

Btw, how long does it take for a phone to mature, normally? hmm.gif

Hi, bro.

After googled, I found that the number after E72 indicates the operating frequencies of the phone:

# E72-1 Quad-band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 900/2100 HSDPA
# E72-2 Quad-band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 850/1900 HSDPA
# E72-3 Quad-band EGSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 850/2100 HSDPA

1.meaning...i erase my sim contacts n keep phone or vice- versa?...

2. do have this problem...wen make a new contact in sim and want add detail of home phone, email etc. there is a prompt to copy into phone mem otherwise cannot add details...normal?

3. how to check memory card contents?
*
For 2nd question, I think it's normal for all phone because the memory in SIM card is very small (64kB or 128kB), only sufficient to save 1 contact no. per name. So, if you want to add details (home phone, email etc), you need to use phone memory which is > 200MB for E72.

Hope this helps. biggrin.gif

Hi all,

I wonder if the E72's ringing volume is loud enough in noisy environment? Or it is very soft as E52/E55 (complaint by their users)?

Thanks in advance.

I feel the ringing is loud enough at about 30-40% of the max volume.

The speaker is really a let down though. It's just only about usable at 100% volume.

QUOTE(wiNd @ Dec 1 2009, 01:10 PM)
meantime you can use a "louder ringtone"...

create a mp3 with boost volume  biggrin.gif or those classic Nokia ones (loud and sharp tones)

Thanks a lot for sharing your views and tips. notworthy.gif

So far no problem, but some bugs here and there:
Pros:
1) Email received damn fast, received within few second..Good Job!!
2) IM features quite good!! But cant have 2 msn on at the same time(pc)
3) Touch light freaking bright!! tongue.gif
4) Opt Navi not bad, keep using it.
5) Messaging no problem at all,
6) Overall performance very good!! 600Mhz processor really did its job!

Cons:
1) Plug in USB, and then uplug it the Battery still show charging
2) Sometimes open email, ovi, do a lot of stuff then suddenly hang for 2-3 second then phone reboot....
3) Bluetooth transfer, sometime connection lost...(maybe file too large)
4) Garmin issue....hang...

Thats all, some i forgot..anything to add?

Great review with pros and cons. rclxms.gif

I think Xavi means here: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=28235122 and refer to "How To Add Unicode Fonts to Symbian".

He/ She has made a fantastic guide for Nokia E71 thread. notworthy.gif thumbup.gif

Good luck, bro. wink.gif
