Nokia’s much anticipated E72 device is now available through the usual retail outlets.

Nokia E72

The Nokia E72 is a device tailor made for business and personal messaging that builds on the company’s most successful full QWERTY keyboard device the E71.

The E72 adds full functionality such as desktop-like email and chat experiences, where the E71 stopped short, and the new model comes complete with the latest version of Ovi Maps with A-GPS navigation and compass, an optical navi key and 5 megapixel camera are all packed into the sleek, beautifully-designed handset.

The Nokia E72 also comes with Nokia’s push consumer email service, Nokia Messaging, and now for the first time people can set up instant messaging (IM) directly from the homescreen, accessing communities such as Windows Live(TM) Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk and Ovi Chat. Just like chatting via the desktop, people can respond to friends and colleagues across multiple communities in real-time.

The Nokia E72 can also accommodate multiple work and personal email accounts and, with separate profiles for work and play, allows people to be flexible when it comes to choosing how, when, where and who to respond to.

Nokia have also revealed search results that show that more people rely on e mails than on traditional phone calls or text messaging when sending and responding to critical information.

Nokia vice president Ukko Lappalainen said;

“The research shows that people are spending an average of five full days per year – equivalent to a full work week – responding to emails. Half of us (46 percent) choose email over voice or text to send and receive important information. The Nokia E72 was designed exactly with this kind of person in mind – it allows the owner to be more responsive and communicate how they want, whenever they want and wherever they are.”

However business managers should be aware that according to the Nokia survey 49% of us prioritise e mails from our partners, ahead of our bosses or managers (29%), colleagues (23%) and surprisingly customers (31%).
