Nokia E72

Nokia announced today that the Nokia E72, the successor to the E71 (Nokia’s most successful QWERTY device to date), is now available in the United States.

“This year, time off doesn’t necessarily mean logging off for most of us over the holidays,” said Craig Coffey, Vice President, Marketing, at Nokia. “The Nokia E72 is an ideal gift for those who want to stay connected year round. With industry-leading messaging functionality, separate home screen profiles for work and personal time, and powerful multimedia capabilities, this sleek smartphone takes the hassle out of connecting and responding to obligations that don’t stop for the holidays.”

The Nokia E72 is very similar to the E71 but adds a new optical navigation key, a 5MP camera, a 3.5mm audio jack as well as some software enhancements such as the Nokia E75’s email client and a new version of QuickOffice offering Microsoft Office 2007 compatibility.

The Nokia E72 is available for US$469 through www.nokiausa.com, Best Buy and other independent retail channels in the United States.
