Nokia - N72 Review

N72

25th April 2006

At first glance, the Nokia N72 looks like a restyled Nokia N70 - in indeed it is a very closely related handset, but with one important difference. The Nokia N72 is the only Nseries phone (so far) that isn't a 3G device - it is instead aimed at markets with GSM 900/1800/1900 and EDGE data networks.

Physically the N72 is exactly the same size as the N70 at 109x53x22mm and it's just 2 grams lighter at 124 grams. The screen is the same 176x220 pixel display found in the N70, but the N72 doesn't have a video calling camera, although the keypad layout does seem much less cramped that the N70. On the back of the N72 is a 2 megapixel digital camera protected by a sliding mechanism, and the N72's memory can be expanded using RS-MMC cards (a 128Mb card is included as standard, compared to just 64Mb on the N70). The Nokia N72 has an FM radio too, in addition to a multimedia player.

Talktime and standby time are virtually identical, which is odd because you'd expect a 2.5G handset such as this to drain less power than a 3G device, but Nokia quote the talktime as just 3.5 hours with 10 days standby time.
