The keyboard feels great & the processor is quite fast. I like the messaging capability as compared to other Smartphone's. It's the best Nokia business phone ever!

I am still a student, hence this phone might not have a great use or impact on me. But, overall it's still an ideal phone for people who love QWERTY keypad, having a good camera & elegant design. I've got it for almost a month, & have not discovered much functions yet, thus for usability, I don't think it's good for students like us. Precisely for business man.

The E72 is a great phone. I am addicted to mobiles & have numerous contracts running. I thought the HTC Hero would fulfil my ideal phone slot but the E72 flicks snot at it. I have recently had a Blackberry Storm 2, an HTC magic, a Vodafone 360, a blackberry curve, HTC Hero & all have major faults apart from the curve 8900 that my wife took off me. The E72 is so user friendly & a pleasure to own. You do get the feeling Nokia still know what they're doing. I have wished for years that Nokia would design a phone with a slide down keyboard so as to have a decent sized screen & I have the feeling that Blackberry is going to bring something like that out next month. It's so frustrating that no phone manufacture can cover all angles. It's as if they worry we won't ever buy another phone if they produce something that is a brilliant all rounder. For now the other phones stay in the drawer. I am keeping the E72 till something more ideal turns up.

Hi there. A 100 % in all three categories.

The phone is a real winner, much better than the E71. The optical pad is a pleasure to use. A 5 megapixel camera is a 5 megapixel thing. So do not expect a digital SLR. 3.5mm jack should always be there. Keypad is basically the one of the E63 which is equal to a super slick one. It's packed with features which would take a heavy user through 3 days before recharging. Full of bells & whistles for a good price.

Buy one :-).

Had it for 3 weeks & still in love. Great phone! I am not Nokia or S60 greatest fan but must admit it, this is a very complete device & all works good, & for my usage, the best phone I could have.

Bad - Nothing.

OK - Camera, D pad & PC Suite.

Excellent - Ergo & looks.

Amazing - Battery life & sound from audio jack (with bass turned on).

Go for the E72, it is the overall winner, I had been using E71 for a year, wanted a change so got an N-Series. Sold at a loss of around $100 (USD) as there is no return policy at my place. & got the E72, & believe me it is the greatest phone Nokia has ever made, all the features of N97 mini & better build quality, better processor 600mhz, n97 has 369mhz, better keyboard, better battery, more software features- Office document editor, Adv comm. Manager, pdf viewer (n97 has the trial version for 15 days), active profiles, Nokia messaging.

All the so called widgets of N97 are mostly the free software, nowhere near the quality software included in the E72.

My advice, go for the E72, Smartphone with very good multimedia features.

Sam.

A fantastic phone which has been well worth waiting for. Had it for 5 days & if you take the time to sit down & learn the phone, you will be very happy with the results.

Easy to navigate, a host of useful features & a very good camera as a bonus. Nice design that makes it easy to text & email. HSPDA makes surfing a quick & easy pleasure.

The Nokia instruction manual is the only poor thing about this phone!

I am not one for grand gestures or big statements BUT this is the best phone I have ever owned.
