Friends, this is my second review in mouthshut. I was using Nokia 5310 xpressmusic for last 2 years, as my priority was for music. After my graduation, I got employed and shifted to UAE. There my basic need was WiFi connectivity, e-mail, QWERTY keyboard. So I decided to purchase a phone with Wireless. My short listing was..
Nokia E71/E72 the best phone either. With almost all facilities in a computer Nokia E 52: good phone with great battery backup. But I need big screen. The dimensions are also impressive. but Its camera is very bad. I need a camera also. Other E series, N series phones are there in market. But the price will be too high for me!
Nokia 5800Xpressmusic: WiFi with touch screen+ direct TV input, 3.2 mpxl Carl zeis lens and lot.Battery backup is not upto E series, thickness 15.5 mm, very bulky. Plastic quality is poor
Samsung star wifi: touch screen, cheaper than others. but lack in battery backup, ugly graphics, software availability(not symbian) and ease of use. More importantly Brand name
I was in a dilemma to chose between E71 and 72, after the success of 71, 72 came to the market but initially its price was little high…71 was always reachable for me The price difference is about 150Dirhams…
E71 Size: 114x57x10 Weight: 127 gm Display: 2.36 inch CPU: 369 Mhz Audio jack: 2mm Camera: 3.2 Mpxl with Autofocus, flash Battery backup same in 2 models; Signal reception and call quality is good in both models
E72 Size: 114x59.5x10.1 Weight: 128 gm Display: 2.36 inch CPU: 600 MHz(faster performance) Audio: 3.5 mm(compatible with almost) Camera: 5 Mpxl with Autofocus, flash Optical Joystick Plus
E72 have some more advantages. As # both support VoIP # it comes with Full version of Quick office. # uses nokia mail client version 2.mail client supports IMAP, POP # other applications like Acrobat reader, Gps, Barcode scanner, Data encryption etc are same as in E71 # 128 MB RAM is same in both but E72 will give 250MB storage+70 MB boot. On browsing we can definitely feel the difference.
At last, I chose to go for E72 as it is the successor of E71, also with Increase in CPU speed, 5 Megapixel camera and increased RAM availability. Got the phone 2 days ago. Used GPS, Wifi, Acrobat, Office…perfectly suits for me. Amazing battery backup. Camera is good but not upto N series still competitive
About the cost, E71 will cost AED 1200, for E 72 around 1350. this price is for Phones made in Finland.
I will never go for made by nokia phones, definitely there is quality difference .here also if you want to purchase a E71 made by nokia, you will get it for 1000 dirhams. believe me it is a truth.In some outlets of Carrefoure and some others are giving all made by nokia phones without warranty for an amazing price!
