The Nokia 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. David Chieng, who from his bio is a:

Self-professed geek and husband. Now Editor for HWM, Singapore’s top technology magazine. Previous stints in publishing include editing for MAX-IT and PC Magazine in Malaysia.

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!

    Does it have a dedicated camera button, or is the autofocus also on the T?

  • Stefan Constantinescu

    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.
    Oops! You don’t have permission to view this page”
    Any other chance to see the pictures? Thanks

  • Stefan Constantinescu

    Nokia must have asked him to take the photos down. Rats!

  • MMG

    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.
