Comments on: Nokia E72 May Be Coming Sooner than we Think; As E63 http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/09/22/nokia-e72-may-be-coming-sooner-than-we-think-as-e63/ Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:56:20 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: backbeat http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/09/22/nokia-e72-may-be-coming-sooner-than-we-think-as-e63/comment-page-1/#comment-283901 backbeat Wed, 24 Sep 2008 15:21:16 +0000 http://www.boygeniusreport.com/?p=5444#comment-283901 The e72 looks a bit less like a toy in this clearer pic, though not quite as finessed in exterior design as the e71. As the gsm-arena.com article states, it is intended as a "successor" to the e71, however, I don't universally buy that line. Nokia is targeting different geographic markets via these 2 different versions, imo. http://i.gsmarena.com/vv/newsimg/08/09/nokia-e72-e75/gsmarena_003.jpg Regarding the dropped calls whining from above, this is more an issue of the phone radio's ability to play nice on AT&T/TMo, which is to state that gsm has more issue with dropped calls (3G handoff to 2.5G during a mobile call) than anything else. Only the Sprint/Verizon flamethrowing fanboys will generally even mention it as knowledgeable gsm users are aware of the cause->effect involved. All that is needed is an update to the radio file for improved operability. That is all. As for Darryl's statement about Best Buy, get a clue, would ya? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8939722&type=product&id=1215217075379 The e72 looks a bit less like a toy in this clearer pic, though not quite as finessed in exterior design as the e71.

An upgraded camera wouldn't hurt. Oh Nokia, if only you could actually get your North American act together... But really, I can't blame them avoiding having to deal with AT&T "management" [sic].

It would seem to be more fitting to name it an E71i. It would be really weird for it to be named E63 when it looks more like an E71 variant. It would seem to be more fitting to name it an E71i.
