I’ve never really gotten a chance to play with the Nokia E71, but one of the comments I heard most was that it has the best battery ever. Like its predecessor, the E72 we have today is equipped with the same standard battery of Li-Po 1500 mAh (BP-4L) and sure enough, after one single charge before heading off to an over assignment, the trustworthy phone is still running a week later with 3 bars of battery left. Of course, I didn’t put it through the toughest test; all I did was tried out Ovi Maps, got connected to Wi-Fi for a couple of times and sent some messages.

The one thing I love most about the physical appearance of the E72 is its solid build. Despite the fact that the metal build to the phone is a fingerprint and oil magnet, especially the metal back cover, it is what makes the phone unique, plus, you’ll feel as though you’re holding to a real phone rather than some flimsy plastic toy. The E72 is very much similar to the E71 in terms of design, a full QWERTY keyboard at the front, directional button at the middle, solid build and a metal cover at the back, but it comes with an additional optical trackpad so you can navigate around just by sweeping your thumb over it rather than pressing the physical directional button.  
Review continues after the jump.
While the QWERTY keyboard is probably one of the most attractive features of the Nokia E72, I have to say that being used to traditional keypads, I can never really get the hang of a keyboard that requires my thumb to type, especially when I’m doing something else at the same time like walking or trying to talk to someone. On the bright side, even though the buttons may seem small, they’re actually very friendly to use.
The E72 is equipped with a very good camera (very good compared to other E Series phones from Nokia) however, it lacks a shutter button at the side; holding it upright while having your finger on the optical track pad isn’t very ergonomic and is almost impossible to capture a clear picture with one hand. Like most Nokia phone cameras (the E-series at least), sometimes the captured images can turn out to look rather washed-out, but under optimal brightness and with the both hands, the camera is capable of taking some very clear and sharp pictures of up to 5MP; without flash of course. You probably already know, LED flash lights on phones are usually too bright and tend to wash out I never really liked turning on LED flash lights on phone cameras, because they can literally wash out every single detail resulting in a white picture, but the one on the E72 sure came in handy as a torchlight. 
Although the Nokia E-Series is a phone famous for their business features such as ease of setting up multiple email accounts that can be used simultaneously or a friendly keyboard that lets you compose messages and mails quickly, the E72 provides much more with its Nokia Messaging service. It allows users to set up multiple instant messaging accounts such as MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, GTalk and more, and lets users chat on an interface that is very similar to what you would get on a PC. 
I know the E72 isn’t the fanciest phone out in the market, but for its functionality, RM1,699 is a very reasonable price to pay. Additionally, with firsthand experience, I can assure you that the E72 can be your best travel companion to keep with you whether it’s for business or for leisure.
