The Nokia E72 is a smartphone that was marketed as part of Nokia's Eseries range of business-oriented products. The Nokia E72 was announced on June 15, 2009 at the Nokia Connections 2009 event in Singapore. [2] It is the successor to the Nokia E71 and is based on a similar design and form factor, and offers a similar feature set. It has standard features including mobile email, calendar and instant messaging among many others with its Symbian-based S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 operating system. The E72 was manufactured in Finland. It was succeeded by Nokia E6 in 2011.

Contents

The Nokia E72 has a new Optical Navi Key feature in addition to the standard D-pad used on many other Nokia devices including the Nokia E71 – this is said to improve the ease of scrolling through menus, emails, web pages, and images as it is an optical sensor in addition to a series of closely spaced buttons. In comparison to its predecessor, the Nokia E72 is said to have a higher level of performance (likely due to the faster 600 MHz ARM processor) and also includes a 5-megapixel auto focusing camera. Other changes and improvements are software-based including changes to the user interface and built-in messaging application among others.

The current firmware of this device is 91.004 published on 2 June 2012 (to check the current firmware, one may dial *#0000#).

The Vertu Constellation Quest from 2010 is based on the E72 design.
