It looks like maybe the Nokia E72 have a better camera and the spacebar was reduced to make way for additional buttons compared to the Nokia E71. Let’s analyze the leaked Nokia E72 and E75 video again. It looks just like the E71 but thicker and available in bright red color. What does the extra thickness bring in addition to the thinner Nokia E71?
In the photo below, you can see a clear border around the camera with inscriptions right below it. It is implying to me that the camera could be one of the the Nokia E72′s highlighted features. Wishful thinking tells me “Carl Zeiss” is written somewhere there.
Also take a closer look the spacebar on the Nokia E72. Instead of taking up the space of 4 buttons like on the Nokia E71, it is only taking up 2 buttons. It looks like Nokia created separate buttons for the “Chr” and “Ctrl” buttons on the right side and separated the buttons for the forward slash “/” and at sign “@” on the left side. Those are great adjustments in my opinion, but I’m not sure if other people will like a smaller spacebar.
Let’s compare it to the current Nokia E71′s keyboard below. Certainly a difference in the layout between the two devices.
Introducing a better camera for the Nokia E72 will make me a big fan. I enjoy using the Qwerty keypad on the Nokia E71, but not so impressed with the camera. The smaller spacebar will probably take time to get used to, but I like the adjustments made to separate some buttons. I think it’ll make for a better email and typing experience.
