The Nokia E72 capitalises on the desire for the all-in-one messaging device, improving on the quality QWERTY keyboard of the original E71 whilst combining the stylings of earlier E-series entries.

Improving upon the E71 with faster web browsing, a 5 megapixel autofocus camera (as opposed to 3.1), a 3.5mm headphone jack and improved compatibility with Microsoft Office 2007, the Nokia E72 aims to address all and any shortcomings levelled at the precursor.

With a new optical navi key for easier scrolling through menus and integrated GPS, the Nokia E72 looks to be an important advancement in the smartphone biz for the Finnish manufacturer, with a Q3 release and €350 price tag announced.
