Nokia E72 image samples start trickling out, they’re impressive

The Nokia (NYSE: NOK) E72 is the device I’m personally looking forward to the most this year since it fixes the problems of my current favorite phone, the Nokia E71. Adding a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a 5 megapixel camera are just what the doctor ordered. The iPhone 3GS isn’t doing it for me, the N97 is a load of fail, and the N86 is ugly.

He has a a Nokia E72. Images of the device can be checked out in this Flickr set, but more importantly, images taken with the 5 megapixel camera can be seen here. His E72 is running firmware dated June 5th, 2009, version 021.009. I can tell you from experience, that’s a wicked early firmware. Shipping firmware is usually 100.XYZ, but even with early code, his images look great!
YEAH, the pics are nice. Too bad I have sworn after dealing w/Nokia Sweden Customer Care ( http://sweden101.wordpress.com ) never to get another Nokia handset =o(
i’m surprised you didn’t chose this pic as an example, hehe: http://is.gd/19XXM
new cam: very nice resolution and color, but also rather poor low light performance. still def. a step in the right direction
Does it have a dedicated camera button, or is the autofocus also on the T?
From the videos I’ve seen, it uses the new optical navi key so you press the d-pad gently to focus, and then fully depress the d-pad to snap a photo.

I cannot access the Flickr sets from the above links. I get the following message: “This page is private.

Any other chance to see the pictures? Thanks
Nokia must have asked him to take the photos down. Rats!
If this is true, it’s nonsense as there are plenty of pictures on the web of the E72.
I had seen his pics of the device nly once and then could not access them anymore.
His pictures were really nice!
I don’t think it’s the pictures of the Nokia E72 that are the problem, it’s the pictures that came out of camera that the company had a problem with.
