Nokia has surely made a power house in form of E72 , with technical specification seen rarely on a business phone such as

· 600 MHZ Processor

· 256 MB User available Memory

It’s much more powerful than the ‘Flagship’ N97 and a better CPU performance than the Nokia N97 Mini .

 

E72 User Interface

A friend of mine once said , you have used one Nokia , you have used them all . He was referring to the similar user interface all Nokia to be the same and Nokia E72 is no different from that .

Running Series 60 v3 FP2 OS , it’s very much alike the E71 with the usual 7 app shortcut Standby Menu followed by 2 email account , Calendar and WLAN scanning option .

The major difference you will see the change in icons , while some hated the E71 icons , the same people were at awe with the E72 .

The main standby screen is divided into different folders like Messaging , Media , Office , Control Panel and Applications etc each carrying functions to enhance the productivity of E72

E72 For Messaging

Messaging is the strongest feature of Nokia E72 , with Nokia bundling Lifetime Messaging for Nokia license with the device , it proves to be a strong contender to Blackberry devices without any use of proprietary servers as required with Blackberry , be it any network , any data connection from GPRS , EDGE and 3G to WiFi you can get access to your email on E72 via Nokia Messaging .

Nokia Messaging provides a three step solution to setup your emails be it popular Internet based services like Gmail , Microsoft Live / Hotmail , Yahoo , AOL to Nokia OVI Mail to user’s own domain based services be it corporate or personal with support for Mail for Exchange and Lotus Traveler , Nokia Messaging offers an out of box email solution for everyone .

Nokia Messaging supports up to 10 email addresses and the emails are pushed to the device through Nokia messaging server as soon as they are received on user’s servers . Be assured that Nokia does not keep a copy of any of the email on it’s servers it’s just used to forward the messages so complete email privacy and security is ensured .

The best part of Nokia Messaging is that it now supports full HTML and even play Youtube Videos . My only gripe , it still uses phone memory instead of the External memory which may be supported in future.

I’m currently using 8 email addresses since the launch of the service and except a few glitches never had any problem . The service is considerate enough to let me know if they are having a problem with a particular account( usually Hotmail ) by pushing me a message on it and also a message comes in when the problem is solved .

The best way to setup Nokia Messaging is first setup an account on email.nokia.com , on the website you can also setup the email accounts which you want to be pushed to your device . Once setup , you can use the same login and password for Nokia Messaging on E72 and your phone will download the email accounts directly from the email.nokia.com .

You can also add/ delete email accounts later on the phone which are synced with the account on the website .

A Word of Caution : Your E72 comes with Nokia Messaging lifetime subscription which means that your account is linked with your device IMEI . If you change your device later , it’s wise to cancel out your account on the Nokia Messaging and remake it for the linkage to cancel . Else , as happened in my case , the account will get locked , although Nokia will not start pushing your emails to some stranger with your device but still you will not be able to setup the account on another Nokia , unless that too comes with lifetime subscription of Nokia Messaging .

I was locked out of my account for one month , neither I could add or delete email accounts of it nor I could set the same email accounts on another account it was a total lockout but Nokia Messaging people were very helpful and after a few emails and correspondence on Twitter , Davis Fields of Nokia Messaging canclled by account and I set it up again . When I’ll return my E72 back to Nokia Pakistan , the first thing I’ll do is to cancel my Nokia Messaging account and set it up again so when someone else setup their account on the same E72 , I don’t get locked out.
