Been like wanting to buy this phone for some time, which the time i waited really is enough for Nokia to release another new model cos this model ain't new anymore. So just wondering if you guys would advise that i buy the E72 now or not?

Anyways, say that i buy an E72 and it's firmware is outdated many versions ago. Can i update the firmware to the latest version straight from it's very, very old version? Or do i have to update it from version to version, till the latest version?

Actually as for the ram issue, i'm just only gonna be using it mainly for SMS, MMS, GPS and Skype. Would the phone be smooth to run on these simple apps?

And the reason being the consideration of this phone is that newer models, such as the E7 mentioned above, would be too pricey when launched. And if i do wait for those newer models value to drop, even NEWER models will be out. All in all, unless i've got the money, i'll never be able to catch the trend. So all i needed was advice of a yes or no-go for this phone hehe

As for multitasking, personally, i do no like multitasking, fearing that i might forget to finish a task i was doing before. I have this habit of finishing one thing before i start the next thing...so this is prolly why i'm slow at doing things (like clearing my room takes me more than 1 month LOL). So i think the ram issue won't be a prob, hehe.

Anyways, anyone knows a decent price i should be paying for this phone? I want to buy an original set. Btw, original refers to avaxx or zitron right?

Ah i see. I was initially curious as to why Nokia had 3 official distributors whereas Samsung had one, which was FMG (which now i heard it's no longer in operation). So i used to think that Nokia could only have one and only one distributor. Then i figured out that probably it was cos Nokia didn't want only one distributor to monopolise the market.

I have another question actually: What's the difference between the Nagivation and Standard set? And why is White Edition pricier?

Oh! Thanks for the link. I checked Nokia too some time ago but missed out that part. It seems that White Edition has got only one item extra: Bluetooth gadget.

However, it mentioned only the White Edition set but didn't mention anything about the Navigation set.

This might be out of topic but... are there any other Nokia phones that supports Skype using Wifi?

Just a side-question: Does the Nokia E72 look... umm.. well on ladies? Cos IMHO, it looks very business-sy (well, obviously) and suits more for men :/

Eh, true also. The white one looks okay. Red, too.

My gf said the topaz brown looks classy. Heh.

Anyways, if i'm getting this phone, i was thinking of a full cover protection (for example, i'll have to open/flip the front cover to use the phone). Are there such casings, and if yes, how much would it cost?

Oh! You found it! Yep, that's the one i'm talking about. I heard my friend mentioned something like that, but i wasn't too sure if E72 has these type of casings. And my preference would be the one in the top picture. The second pic... it's gonna be difficult when it comes to typing lol.

Also, which such casings, would there be a... opening for the camera part? If not, it's like i've got to always take the casing out whenever i need to snap a picture lol

Oh, i see. Do you have a rough idea of how much this might cost? And also i see that those rubber casings are very popular nowadays. Don't think i'll fancy that though...but just out of curiosity, do you know how much that costs, too?

Going to buy this phone d leh..but as time passes, the more i wonder if this phone is really worth the RM980 (navi edition) price tag...

Yo guys! I finally got the E72, haha. Mine is Metal Grey colour, though i still think Bronze looks nicer, but the seller said that Bronze suits female more I wish i was female LOL.

Anyways, i've got some questions here:

1. There's this..message icon which keeps blinking non-stop just at the bottom of my screen and i just couldn't figure it out what is it. Also, just in case you needed this info: I have some smses still stored in my SIM card. Update 1: I realised that there's a weird sms stuck inside my SIM card.

2. My firmware version as reported in Ovi Suite and Nokia Software Updater reports that it's v51. And that certainly ain't the latest firmware. Trying out both Ovi Suite and NSU, they both report that my firmware is up to date (WTH?!), and hence i cannot update my device.

Any suggestions sifus out there?

Update 2: I found the solution to enable/disable vibration under Silent profile. Firstly choose the Silent profile, then go into Control Panel and Personalisation, then go to Tones, and search for Vibration.

Wah, we have our problems upside down. I want my phone to vibrate on silent, whereas you want your phone to not vibrate when silent. LOL.

Wah, i dun think this is possible leh. It's either vibrate + silent, or non-vibrate + silent.

Once my phone was able to go on for full 6 days without charging, all 6 days under active stanby mode. Of course, that is with only about 2 hours max of talking on the phone and no GPS/wifi connection. Other than that, it lasts 3 days with heavy wifi, gps and talking. Pretty decent 1500mAh battery life we're talking here.

Anyways, i've got a few questions:
1. When using Garmin, after a few secs, my phone's screensaver mode/black screen comes into place, making it impossible for me to navigate. Any workaround this prob?
2. How to create quick-dials? I mean like, if you hold a key, it will automatically dial a number.
3. What's the maximum number of SMSes (inbox, outbox, and everything else) can the phone save?
4. Will data charges be incurred if i upgrade/check new firmware through FOTA?
5. Skype gives me problems Any other free voip suggestions?

1. Uh, do you mean that i'll have to disable the screensaver from the phone settings before i use Garmin, and enable it back after i'm done with Garmin? That would be quite troublesome eh?
