T-Mobile US brings the Nokia E73 Mode to its list of phone with a contract. You’ll be able to get this phone for $69.99 with a 2-year contract. The Nokia E73 Mode is basically a Nokia E72 with a facelift for T-Mobile.

The Nokia E73 Mode is a Symbian S60 device with a full QWERTY-keyboard and a 2.4″ QVGA screen. A 5MP camera with flash and autofocus will take care of your photo needs. Other features include WiFi, HSDPA (10.2Mbps) and A-GPS with free turn-by-turn navigation.

Full Press Release after the break.


This little leak came out of the blue, a new Nokia phone called E73 Mode.

An internal T-Mobile document shows this phone to be released June 16th. No word on how it will differ from the Nokia E72. The ‘Mode’ trademark will most probably stick only with T-Mobile’s E73 phones, and the phone will just simply be called E73 internationally. Hope to hear more of this thing in the near future!


Microsoft Communicator Mobile for Nokia was today announced for the Nokia E52 and E72. The application works with Microsoft’s Office Communications Server 2007, and with it you’ll get instant messaging, email and voice call.

Here is what Microsoft and Nokia has to say about it:

“Our alliance with Nokia aims to bring the Microsoft Office productivity experience to the millions of people using Nokia smartphones around the world,” said Kirt Debique, general manager, Microsoft Office Communications Platform & Solutions Group, Microsoft. “With the arrival of Communicator Mobile for Nokia today, we have a great start to fulfilling our joint vision.”

“This application really provides a much more efficient way to work with others, as you can see if someone is busy or available and the best way to start a conversation with them,” said Ukko Lappalainen, vice president at Nokia. “It also meets all of the requirements for the enterprise: cost-effective to implement, secure, familiar and reliable.”

Microsoft Communicator is available via the Ovi Store.


Nokia just updated the firmware of the E72. The new version number is v.31.023.

The Nokia E72 just received a firmware update. No word about what the update will bring more, at least it updates the version number to 23.002 ;)

Remember to make a backup of your phone before updating.


Nokia’s firmware department has been active in the past few days. Today they released a firmware update to the Nokia E72, which pumps the version of the phone up to 22.007.

No changelog for the moment of writing. As always, remember to make a backup of your phone before updating. Currently, the update is available by using the OTA update feature of your phone.


Mobile Youth Consultancy has conducted a survey among 1,000 university students in the United Kingdom, on what mobile phones they use. According to the survey, Nokia’s share is 30 percent, and Sony Ericsson’s share is 27 percent and BlackBerry took a 2 percent share. This leaves big brands like Samsung, LG, HTC and Apple licking their fingers.

Students say that this is mainly because of good IM, SMS and social networking features seen in for instance the Nokia E72. Also a QWERTY-keyboard is a big plus.
