Dotsisx has written an excellent first impressions of the Nokia E71 v E72. They may look like similar smartphones, but there are numerous changes under the hood.
“Hello, I am Rita El Khoury and I have been a Nokia E71 addict for over 12 months”. E71-Addicts-Anonymous group therapy attendees respond in sync “Hello Rita”.
There’s little I have yet to say about how much I love my Nokia E71: build quality, day-to-day usability, productivity, responsiveness, robustness, this device just fits in my hand and there’s a warm feeling in my heart each time I put my SIM card back in it after having it in some other trial Symbian device. It’s just like wearing that comfortable pair of sneakers after going to a party in high heels: the latter are clean, chic and everyone marvels at them, but you know you couldn’t wear them daily like your filthy and scratched sneakers.
Hence, you can only picture my excitement at the idea of finally getting my hands on the E71’s successor when Nokia Lebanon told me they have a Nokia E72 ready for me to trial. As a matter of fact, I had already chalked it up, on paper, as my next device and a worthy upgrade from the E71…”
