Video: Taking a picture with the Nokia E72

The Nokia (NYSE: NOK) E71, the device I’ve been using for over a year now and you’ll have to kill me if you want to pry it out of my hands, has a terrible system for taking photographs. You have to push the letter “T” to focus, and then hit the center button of the d-pad to actually snap the photo. I bet over 50% of Nokia E71 owners don’t know how to focus their photos. Thanks to the optical trackpad in the Nokia E72, that works in a similar fashion to the trackpad inside the new BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) 8520 [read Simon's review]. You open the camera application, let your finger touch the navigation pad, at which point the image focuses, and then you fully depress the button to snap a photo. Much better user experience. Now Nokia just has to work on getting images off their devices less of a pain in the ass, and we’ll all be happy campers!

I take it you never use pc suite.
You tell it what folder you want to sync your photos to on the computer, you connect your phone up via usb or bluetooth and viola your photos are on the computer from the phone. It even opens up the folder after the tranfer is complete just in case you forgot where it is.
Otherwise you could always just transfer straing from te memory card.
Or there is Windows built in photo tranfer funtion that works with any usb strorage device which most nokia phones support.
unless you meant something else.
I meant easy as in posting the photos to Twitter or Flickr or what have you. Getting the configuration right is a PITA.
The fact about using “t” to focus your camera was more interesting than the video of the E72 but thanks anyways because I had been wondering why my pictures were so terrible. Now they’re just mediocre! I’ve had the phone for almost a year also and love it but just gave up on the camera.
