Nokia E72

Nokia is known to provide updates to a wide range of their phones, and for quite some time after the whole product has received the end of line treatment. The Nokia E72 is next in line to get an update from version 71 to 81.

The update, v081.003, is approximately 900KB in size. The update can be obtained as an over-the-air update, or by plugging your phone into your computer and using Nokia Suite or Nokia Software Updater.


Nokia E6 and X7We just received word that we should see the Nokia X7 and E6 hit retailers in Finland in a few weeks. The Nokia E6 will hit stores during week 22, between May 30 and June 5. The Nokia X7 again should come the week after that, June 6-12.

Another thing that we heard is that the currently shipping Nokia E72 will be discontinued, and replaced with a Nokia E72 v2. Probably just the ‘old’ Nokia E72 in a new retail package?

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!
