The Nokia 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 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!
