    Finally suppliers speak out to the queries……..some big bosses say that nokia e72 is to be launched on 18th of oct.news confirmed 97%.So guys try n get to ur piggies………i guess the wait is over.

  • Behram

    18th Oct has passed but E72 release still remains a mystery. Not sure if Nokia really gains anything or ends up losing customer confidence by these actions

  • Raj

    Will nokia really launch e72 or they have any serious problem?

  • http://www.fonearena.com Varun Krish

    Its coming end of this year max .. Spotted one at a Nokia India event

  • dr mohan atri

    it is very unfortunate that till date i.e 20th of october, nokia e72 not released in indian market. there may be some technical problem with this fone. beware costmers

  • Ashutosh

    One of the Nokia priority dealers mentioned that there are some legal issues related to encryption used with the in-built VOIP client. The phone should launch once this glitch is resolved.

  • raj

    hell with e 72 . how will i wait?

    i am going for blackberry

  • Ash

    I’ve gone to iPhone. :)
    Sorry Nokia… But I’m a happy iPhone user now.
    (I think Sony is one of the crappiest phone around… and Nokia one of the top… but still… bad speculations all around…)

  • Behram Jamaspi

    Its good that you moved to Iphone and Blackberry. Blackberry curve has released its official unlocked (earlier only with Airtel) version of 8520 for Rs 14,990/-

    I am not comparing 8520 with E72 but for Blackberry lovers looking at a slightly economical option, 8520 is a perfect buy.

    Personally, I will wait for E72 and hope that it launches soon in the Indian market.

    Some stores claim E72 will be launched in November and some around New Year. My assumption is that it wont be any later than 2010 for sure. If I have waited for a month already, I dont mind waiting couple of days/weeks more

  • Chrominant

    i just discovered dude that in corporate world Q3 means the span of OCT-DEC. So this news is still on the board valid. another date flashed in with the importers for 2nd weak of november.the price on the safety expected arnd 25K INR. i just heard that nokia had an issue with the voip certification from authorities. No need to worry about the software glitch bcoz this phone wont have one. this is an highly tested software under great precision. nokia has done its homework this time. trust me guys i tested this phone in singapore fest totally. even the form of body is like E71. but when u personally see it its more sexier and appealing. the trackpad is though very much sensitive and initially u ll find a bit hard to get used to it.but trust me guys once u have tht phone u wont get away from it. not to forget about the net connectivity…..its awesum.BB is way too behind thn wat E72 offers in the whole package.if u guys are waiting since long thn trust me its going to be a lovely wait of ur life.way to go……….

  • Ash

    Chrominant, that’s silly and wrong. Companies have their own quarters refering to their financial year. Example for companies with financial June2009-July2010, their Q1 is June to August. It’s different with international standard calendar year. (which is Christian calendar)

    And when Nokia announce their release of handset to press release, they won’t refer it to Company financial year.
    Company may use company financial year during their own AGM or press release for their quaterly/annual profit.

    Big companies would not go out and tell mislead whole world in timing.

    By the way, Diwali has passed, isn’t it? Sorry for those who celebrated Diwali without e72 :) .

  • Archit Kakkar

    I desperately want dis fone now.. Its bloody launched everywhr in the world but India.. Wat the hell..!! :-S

    When nokiae72 lounch in india & Maharashtra

  • Behram Jamaspi

    Thats a million doller question and can only be answered by being patient till Nokia officially launches this phone

  • Roop

    probably, nokia wants to have a good sale of E71 then it would launch E72

  • Abhinav

    chrominant, thanks for your input bro, I think you have nailed the truth with the whole quarter 3 issue. Cant wait to get this phone…PLUS..it would definitely be worth the wait

  • shubham

    yes yes yes!!!
    e72 finally comes to india!!!
    but its come out in the grey market only…
    it will launch officially in december,,,,
    in grey market its cost is Rs. 20500/- negotiable….

  • Manish Kumar

    I was looking e-72 mobile…feature is ultimate..but i am not sure about the hanging of this phone.

  • Vijay

    Yes this phone hangs specially during Emails, with music and radio I have not seen this hanging. This being a business phone you want email and others to work properly. If you want to buy this phone for music etc then it should be fine.. but why will you buy this for music?

    I have been using this for more than 2 months. There is a mismatch between performance and price.

  • raj

    i have waited for this phone for atleast 6months and using the same. Overall the performance is good,
    but the phone hangs and sometim
    es space bar does not work propwrly.
    Nokia must do some software modification to keep this phone as a hit

  • Prathap Emparala

    Hi guys,

    I am looking for this E72 phone. So could any body help me the latest price (after budget 2010) and the quality of the same. Many people are saying (like above) that this mobile is giving hanging problem. I there any changes made by Nokia in this issue??

    Thanks in Advance

    Prathap

  • arjun

    e63 is a better option than blackberry curve.

  • Gulzar Nabi

    Sir

    this phone is ok but not happy with music perfomance espcially when I use radio and use jack it gets hanged. nokia should do something attractive change of using jack pin (enhancement) on this. While using of radio or using the head phone the pin some time work and sometime gets hanged.

    Ws per the price and features it is good but services of gmail and office pop etc connection are very slow.

    you can not compare it with black berry services.
