It looks like an amazing device, but I am still going to remain devoted to my E71. I must admit that the changes in the interface for S60 3rd edition with feature pack 2 are quite good along with the addition of a 5mpxl camera and a 3.5mm headset jack. However, I hope it is safe to assume that the frame rate of any video footage captured by the E72 is at 30 frames per second.
Despite the upgraded aspects of this model, the limitation of the screen still causes me to want to stay with my E71. Another concern could be with the optical navigation in the central d-pad.
Honestly, this is not much of a revolutionary change from the E71 like the N97.

I'm with you on this one Trent. I'll not be trading my E71 in for this. Pixel count is nothing to me but the screen is. No screen upgrade means no purchase for me i'm afraid. The screen, along with the 2.5mm jack on the E71 are its only downfalls. I'm a blackberry hater but seeing the screen on the bold compared to that on my E71 left me a little cold. Coupled with my growing boredom of S60 3rd edition is pushing me towards 5th edition or Android. I'll buy a 5800 I think and run it until its next incarnation comes out or until i'm dies my upgrade in January in which case i'll be looking at the HTC Magic or whatever Nokia's flagship is at that time.
totally agree with you
@Gerard - I hope you did not buy the 5800. I had a good chance to spend some time with my friend's and I just could not get around messaging on that thing. Typing and seeing what you are typing are two different experiences and screens. I would say that I am a music guy, but I dont miss it too much on my phone. I did have 1000 songs on it, but after a couple of electronic heart attacks, i just have not reloaded it again. I dont wear earphones. I love my E71. It does everything for me all the time and now that the latest FW is out, 410.* I find it much more stable than the previous releases. The E72 looks great though. Just like the E71 but faster. Who would not want that? I took a good look at the N97. Now that the FW releases are more or less mature, I thought it was a good time to look at one - especially when the phone company here (Bell Canada) is giving it away for free plus a hundred bucks of instore goodies (but we never get all the Nokia peripherals in Canada, only on the web site)...anyway, I was not very impressed with the touch screen environment. I liked the qwerty, but the touchscreen was not so much for me, especially when all the other phones now are 1GHz (N97 is <450MHz,no?). Waiting until the end of the summer to start seriously considering the N900. It will take so much time to play with, that I want to do it when the weather sucks! But what will I do with my E71? I will miss it. It is so beautiful to look at and it feels so great to touch and type on. Voice recorded calls and GPS make (as well as internet radio and google search with call-to function and everything else really) it just a pleasure to own.
Question - should I hack my phone with software and start deleting all unneccessary files? I know the danger in that, but assuming I delete only the things I know I dont want, is it worth the experience, or is it doomed to failure?
Let me know please how your N97 is turning out (Nokia's 5800 replacement)!
