I haven’t written about the E72 on the blog yet because I was waiting for some reviews to come in and now one has, Eldar from Mobile-Review posted his thoughts and I only found it thanks to Stefan at IntoMobile.  Now I’m ready to talk.

The E72 is going to rock and is stepping up Nokias game.  The device it self and the numbers it sells will be good to say the least.  I have been reading and 1 number that jumped out at me recently (I don’t remember where I read it, sorry) was that people are now replacing their smart phones at a rate of once every 14 months on average.  Whether it be by choice or because it got wet in the washing machine etc. it is happening.  That means more people are ready to buy more phones more often.

I have been using the E71 for a while now and I can’t seem to put it down.  I tried reviewing the N97 and E75 and couldn’t keep my sim in either.  It is just an amazing device and I keep telling people how amazed I am because it is a year old and I still keep going back to it.  So now I hear from Eldar that the E72 is even better then the E71 which I suspected it would be.  Nokia doesn’t take the E series lightly.  This means that Nokia is going to sell boat loads of these devices and accross the world it will be the “it” phone to have if you go for a QWERTY keyboard handset.

I think I’m like most people in that I see the E72 as a worthwhile upgrade.  I won’t stick to the E71 if I can get an E72 with a 5mp camera that blows the E71′s paltry 3.2mp (always with a blue tint) camera out of the water.  For me the camera and the feature pack 2 upgrades make the phone worth upgrading for.  At least I won’t have to carry around 2 phones now, 1 for taking pictures and one for everything else.

Anyways, keep your eyes open for the E72 and if you get the chance to pick one up or upgrade to it I highly suggest you do, I don’t think you will be disappointed.  I for one will be getting one as soon as I can.
