Check it out! The power of the crowd comes in once again, as 3UK decide to reverse their decision not to range the Nokia E72, and instead bring it on to the network for a May 2010 timeframe! Apparently 3UK were getting so many comments on their blog, that it convinced them it was the right thing to do.
I’ve had a Nokia E72 to play with recently, and I have to say I am torn between two different sides of the device. On the one hand, the hardware is a lesson in design excellence, and shows that Nokia have still got it, certainly as far as industrial design goes. However, the software is that tired OS called Series60, and I’m afraid these days it just doesn’t have the visual polish to compete with other smartphones out there. That said, the OS/UI is functional, and get the job done, which is what you want from a business device.
At any rate, check out the Nokia E72 on the 3UK network from May onwards.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
