Say you've got a Nokia
E71. Say, further, that you fully intend to upgrade to the
E72 the moment it's available (we can't say we blame you). If you'd like to know more about the phone by the time it arrives on your doorstep than most people do in the lifetimes of their devices, we might recommend grabbing pork sandwich, a 64-ounce Coke, and your favorite blankie and curling up with mobile-review's epic "first look." Spec-wise, the new model is an outright slam dunk over the one it replaces, and it seems that mobile-review generally agrees -- sticking points were few and far between though he seems ambivalent on the optical d-pad, and it's also worth noting that the keyboard is now based on the
E63's design rather than the E71's. Even if you don't want to read through the somewhat roughly-translated text, it's hard to argue with mobile-review's great photography -- and it's not like you're seeing an E72 in the flesh today, so you may as well have a look, eh?

Looks so nice. Definitely a contender for my upgrade in January.
Pork sandwich??
I think i still prefer the e71. The e72 looks very bold like (which isn't a bad thing) but i think i prefer the old keypad arrangement as well as the location of the speaker (the back of the phone, as seen in the article). Additionally, the back plate is smaller and more square, giving the phone what seems like a more "squat" look, which i dont like much.
I would like to see it in person - maybe it looks better in reali life.
