Recently, we have been blown away by the new Nokia E72. Half a month after the Nokia E72 is being released across various countries around the globe, it finally made its path to the US. And as you might guess, the price is considerably cheaper than elsewhere.

Nokia E72, which is the successor of Nokia E71, is certainly a handsome gadget, and reasonably compact for something offering a full QWERTY keyboard. It measures in at 144 x 58.3 x 10.1 mm and weighs 128g. The handset replaced the 3.2MP snapper of its predecessor with a 5MP one and added a better processor while the rest has been kept almost intact.

If you bought the Nokia E72 from Nokia USA’s online store, the SIM-free phone costs 469 US dollars (approx. 311 euro, tax and shipping excluded), which might be a little high for the US market. However, this is cheaper than what Europeans are paying at Nokia online stores across Europe, which is starting from 350 euro.

Nokia E72’s Key features:

• 600 MHz ARM 11 CPU & 128 MB of SDRAM
