Nokia E72 spotted in Israel

The phone I’ve been waiting for has arrived.
Today at Globes Conference (thanks Dori and Eliav for setting me up with an invite) I got this innocent coupon from Nokia Israel, inviting attendees to stop by the booth, join OVI and get a chance to win a Nokia E72. Needless to say that was my first stop. And I pretty much stayed at the Nokia booth for a good portion of the day, playing with the E72.
First off, it’s a sexy phone, in dark blue, with an executive look and feel. The central nav-button got an upgrade, with an optical navigation, similar to the Blackberry – an interesting addition that takes some getting used to. But I like it. The E72 has some large shoes to fill – its predecessor, the E71, is considered a huge success, and was crowned The Best Smartphone in Israel, twice. The E72 boosts roughly the same features as the E71, with 2 important upgrades: a decent camera (5MP, Auto-focus, Flash) and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Another major improvement, which I noticed later, is under the hood – a powerful ARM 11 Processor, running at 600MHz – impressive. Finally someone is paying attention to what I say…
Hopefully the guys over at Nokia Israel will do me a solid and let me have it for an official review. Been waiting for it since June, think I deserve it.. You know what, on second thought – just let me win it in the lottery, for Hanukah/Christmas – whatever works for you..
