if u want a touch screen phone buy an iphone.. Nokia's touch screen phones are so freakin sensitive if u drop it a meter high u'll throw it in the garbage, plus they're stupid and they often get slow and every now and then u'll restart the phone.
Ok tried it out myself at a Nokia Priority Dealer - it's awful. The Opti Navi Key works horribly. You have to flick it as it's not that sensitive at all (I did set the sensitivity on high), and it will only move one icon at a time on the menu!
And that is atrocious, as it means that to go four icons across in a menu you have to flick your thumb three times. I don't know what genius thought that it would be easier to flick than just pressing down on a button three times. The raised edges of the middle button also make it very unpleasant to flick your thumb. They should have just kept the opti key or the regular d-pad. Having both makes the end result quite unpleasant to use.
I compared this with the trackpad on the Blackberry 8250, which in comparison is a dream to use. With one swipe of your thumb you can traverse the entire width of the menu grid, and this makes it actually a quicker way to navigate menus / lists than a traditional 5 way D-pad.
Dunno what are you talking about, I set navi key sense on my E72 on medium and it works fucking great, scrolls one or more pictures, or songs or icons, and I find it very useful in web browsing. Great phone, have myself one for 2 weeks and love it. But it cost me 500 euros... a bit too much...
That is the worse video ever, do these people know what they are doing or are they a couple of chavs. The pointless repetitive background music and light flare off the screen and the TAG style random navi key stroking. If this is fonearena's day job then they are seriously incompetent.
Damn you .. Do u even care to read above comments ? The 3G was slow indoors due to over 500 handsets on display at the event. and all of them were hammering the network
WOW - fast reply ! Thanks. I am tempted to wait for this phone to come out in the UK next month. I have used Blackberrys and the Iphone. I like the idea of having a physical keyboard again, but the keys on this are quite small (as with the E71)
Octopus!!! how many hands using that mobile

you can switch the opti key off if you want and just use it like on the e71. I read that it's handy while using the web browser though...

@bookcam12345 It's handy in the menus as well. It took me about 5 minutes to get used to it and we are now best friends.

This video was really badly made. It makes me reconsider wanting to get the e72. The web experience seems really awfull. N900, here I come.

The load time for the web page was dreadfully slow - did the phone have an HSDPA signal at this point ?

the phone was running 3G but then too many phones were on display so even HSDPA was like GPRS :D
