I had a chance to interact with the Product manager of this phone - Mika Savolainen @ Nokia World. After using the phone for a short duration, the E72 feels like a pumped up E71 for sure. The 5 MP camera is a much needed upgrade for the E71 whose camera was not up to the mark. We have some camera samples of the E72 coming up, so you can decide for sure. The optical trackpad is something really new and it felt cool to use but might have a slight learning curve associated with the same.
