i m also waiting for the e72. but i saw the N900.....Nokia....go check it

i got my hands on one today (e72) will have it next week. maybe i can do a review for you chaps

chill guys, will get it tomorrow and let you guys know. put your queries here and i shall TRY TO answer it for ya .

i went to nokia authorized shop in the gardens today...
enquirer abt this baby...
but the answer was quite disappointing..
the boy told me that they are not sure too wheter e72 will b available in malaysia or not...

the phone is in my hands, what do you guys want to know?

IMHO the optical keypad is kinda useless if not annoying, you make a lot of mistakes while using the Dpads with optical keypad activated.  I heard it's being sold for RM1900.

post  me your questions i ll answer here guys, my service for ya all..

PS where is Hero-X?

please dont ask where i got the phone from. for the price, just ask around in Sg Wang, someone quoted me Rm1900 for original.
No issues with that, if you can see from the backview of the phone, the camera part is actually elevated a little and if you put it on a hard surface, there's gap for the sound to leak out (and amplified). However when i put in on a soft surface, eg bed, couch then it seems to be a problem. But i prefer it this way because for the old E71, i had to becareful to not jab the speaker mesh part when taking out the phone from my pocket becuase it gets deformed and tarnished easily.
erm, yes not so good, even when surfing using the browser, it doesnt really help. would be nice if they implemented something like "double tap" to enter (equal to Dpad enter key) or clockwise circle to enlarge and anticlockwise circle to zoomout (like N900 thing)
Ok even though the Navi key doesnt seem that good, it has a good point for camera usage. Ie. to focus, all you have to do is place your finger on the opti key (no need to press) and it will trigger autofocus just like pressing T button on E71. To complete the picture, just press the Dpad enter key and picture's taken.

Now if you have navi key disabled, you still can autofocus by pressing the Dpad enter key and holding it. Once it's focused, releasing the key will trigger to camera to take the shot. However if you press the dpad enter key and let go right away, it will take a shot without focusing...

Camera no longer has purplish or greenish tint on its display and image taken. It's perfect! Hoorah, good job to nokia!

Night shot! Total darkness outside, light source = flash from E72!

Pictures are shrunken 4 times to fit in LYN (25%), cant post the original untouched jpegs....Honestly it looks better than what is posted here.

hmm no more questions?

I guess both colours will come. If it is only 1 colour that will be pretty sad dont u think
release today but not for malaysia. We still dont have it in malaysia yet.

got people selling it, RM1600...online

well, it should be around RM1400-RM1500, once it hit the market...stay tuned

probably on 10/11/09 = RRP is RM1670

Hahaha...really sorry bro...even our cost price also higher than 1450...

time for the new owners to post pictures of thier new phones la! faster faster!

I got Garmin Mobile XT installed. Can load up, and use for like 5 mins. Then it hangs. Anyone encountering the same problem? 

I'm calling upon all E72 users to document all issues they've had with their phone here. I'm interested specifically in the spacebar and optical trackpad dying/stopped working and also whatever issues that you've had with the phone not responding/hanging. Thanks.

Bought my Nokia E72-1 (wonder why there's a -1?) yesterday

I'm back with my experience with this phone. Using it for a week and occasionally when i'm on the phone via bluetooth headset, the optical navipad stops working after the call ends. The only way about it is via restarting the phone.
Plus, sometimes it gets very laggy especially when i try to access my sms inbox This is peculiar cause i have no other applications running in the background and i have less than 50 sms in my inbox.
Oh yeah, garmin xt hangs on my unit as well.
I hope they come up with a new firmware soon.

the screen is faint ?

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

if u mean the top line : on the same line like the signal and battery indicators..

i think its a software UI feature... not meant to show the full line of text... just to indicate what section you are in...
the corresponding text below it should say the same thing...

Previous E71 user & potential E72 user here.

FYI, tis problem still occur in E71...season unknown

Yes, mine has the same problem too.
