Having witnessed the Official Promo Video of the Upcoming QWERTY E7 lineage, The Nokia E72 and E75, the video which apparently was leaked on YouTube (well now it has been removed) made me concluded a few points to ponder upon. First of all the upcoming models mean that there are some exciting new things to look up to. Well, from what i judged from the video is as follows (based on the following the title of the post can be changed to E72 vs E71 )

The E72 (Physical)

1. Nokia E72 is the next upcoming QWERTY keypad phone after E71. The outer face keypad seems to have same shortcut keys and looks pretty filled up. The keys now appear to have a mountain elevation with numbers and alphabets on opposite faces (diamond domes), something like this ‘ 2/\T ‘ (inverted V) contrasting this with the E71 which had rather round domes (picture below).

2. The D pad is the same. The screen size too appears to be the same as the Nokia E71, which I feel could have been improved.

3. The cross-section looks thick and will apparently enable to add a Good Carl Ziess Camera, which I feel the case will be as so does our friend Mark who has detailed his early thoughts based on the video just like me. Mark also pointed out the space bar becoming smaller and has made room for three more keys. Screenshots below for comparison.

4. A better camera is sure in place for the Nokia E72, more on the likes of 5 MP. Thus making it more fat and rather not so sleek as the E71. If Nokia will incorporate any of their Legends Telegraph technology then I will definitely upgrade asap.

5. The illumination of the Keypad also looks brilliant and bright as compared to E71 which was rather dim.

6. As far as the color goes, now we know that E72 will feature for sure in ‘Red’ and ‘Black’!

Final Thought

Nokia E72 sure looks promising with its new built and Design. If the camera is improved then I’m pretty sure it will make a great successor to the amazing E71. On final grounds, the E72 is an Obese (fat) version of E71 offering better Optics which simply means with added features the battery would lose out but who knows, its all to early. Below is a picture of E71 for you guys to compare both the phones.
