Nokia E72 Review Part 1 – Hardware
Roughly a Week ago I was offered to trial a Nokia E72 by my good Friends of WOM World Nokia. Already having experienced the Awesomeness that was the Nokia E71, i was very eager to get my Hands its Successor. Filled in the Trial Form, sent it back to WOM World and here we go, the Adventure that is the E72 begins:
I received the Box on late Friday afternoon and went to work with it on Saturday Morning. After i first took the Device in my Hands i’ve decided to come up with a few Words to the Person who trialed the E72 before me: You’re in a very elite Group, Pal. You have the Privilege to get your Hands on one of Nokia’s latest Devices. The Handset came in a Condition that some of my 2 year old Phones not even look like. The Screen is scratched, some Corners look like they’re losing small Chips of Chrome the hard way. So in my Opinion the Device has been dropped and not at all been taken care of. If you don’t know how to treat a Test Device, you better leave them to People who do. Seriously, you don’t deserve it. Not cool.

Video: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to be released with Android 2.0 ?
Something very very interesting popped up in my News Reader today: René, from the highly recommended german Website mobiflip.de has attended the CeBIT recently and amongst some other latest Devices, such as the latest HTC Bangers Legend and Desire, he also had a play with the long-awaited Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. The interesting Part? Well, the Demo Girl confirmed to René that the X10 will indeed be released with Android 2.0 on it! The Demo Device had 1.6 on it and to be honest, I’m again not too impressed with what i was seeing. The Device was obviously still lagging and did not do the Overall Impressions any Favors.

Nokia 5530 XpressMusic Photo Gallery
The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic was the second touchscreen-only Symbian phone to come from Nokia. Building after the popular success of the 5800 XpressMusic, it brings a bit less features (no GPS, no 3G), making it smaller and more affordable than the 5800. For those of you who were scared by the chunkiness or lack of style in the 5800’s design, the 5530 XpressMusic is a great alternative to consider.
Unboxing The Beautiful Nokia N86 8MP White
The unsung hero of the Nseries family, the Nokia N86 8MP has probably received way less publicity and marketing than the Nokia N97 or N97 Mini. Yet, despite the lack of coverage, the Nokia N86 8MP remains one of the best camera phones out there.
With an 8MP camera sensor and a lens provided by Carl Zeiss, Dual-LED flash, large aperture to capture the tiniest lights in dark environments, and true video zooming without pixelation, it’s hard to fault the N86 8MP at any photography skills. It also features WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G, TV-Out, 8GB of internal storage, and runs on the tried and true S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 software. For many people who have handled it, it’s the ultimate successor to the illustrious Nokia N95, pushing the boundaries of the Dual-Slider form factor with dedicated multimedia keys and a kick-stand, and proving that a lot can be packed in a small overall size.
Here, we unbox the white version of the Nokia N86 8MP, a true beauty considering the simple lines, silver ring, and the super clean white color. It also comes with a set of white in-ear headphones that are a nice departure from Nokia’s ear-torturing regular headphones. Enjoy.
