Nokia E72 unboxing

This is actually my second acquisition of the E72 after receiving a WomWorld review unit in late 2009. I am attempting to satisfy my need for a hardware qwerty device that can serve as a back-up to my Nexus One. I hope to maintain Google cloud services with GooSync on the E72.

I dont think any hardware keyboard on a phone is condusive to long stints of typing. You saying on twitter you have now ordered a samsung captivate which has no hardware keyboard.

@jemb0dog I may be one of the few that can type for long periods on a hardware keyboard, but to each his own opinion.

Since the move to the preferred Android OS on the Nexus, I had no choice but to accept the fact that there is no worthwhile Android device with a hardware qwerty. After having moved to AT&T to save money on a family plan, the Captivate is the only high-end Android device available from the carrier. Getting an unlocked Nexus would be too expensive.

Why have you bought Nexus over ...let's say Desire

I want to by one of two so i want to know why have you chosen Nexus

[absolon3]

@Sejo323 I initially chose the Nexus because it is compatible with TMobile 3G and the Desire is not.

looks like a good phone, but the screen resolution is .... not an upgrade. But other than that, it looks like a solid device. I'm more of a Blackberry guy.

[absolon3]

@zkyevolved The lower resolution is indeed taking a while to get used to in addition to other factors, but I was prepared for the downgrade risk.

hey man how many backups do u need? u had a backup to ur n900, now ur backing up google nexus. Are you gonna backup ur e72 as well?

[absolon3]

@hanyro My old E71 had experienced flaking of the chrome finish on the dpad ring as well. While this did take away from the overall appeal of the phone, I could appreciate the look of it when it was intact on the first day I got it. My initial opinion of the phone only applies in its brand new state when its pristine.

[miagy420hwy]

dude, nice review, you respect that device :P i can see :)

[sminhle]

Hi, one question: Is nokia e72 a robust phone? What I mean is jean pockets, trousers, and so on. I do fear that the metal shiny frame on the front (or the back cover) might be ruined.

hey nice review ,my e72 does not slide like yours when i press the menu button , it just appears, do you now if i can make my e72 slide as yours?

thanks

[dimitarveles]
