Nokia N72 Review
My personal experience -
KEYS - Keys are small and take time getting used to. You mite end up pressing the wrong keys esp while messaging. As music player button n 'c' r
placed v.close, u mite end up activating music player while messaging!
SPEED - The phone is v.fast. The applications open fast n there is hardly ne lag wit even more than one application open
HEADPHONES - Headphones are of excellant quality though cud hav been a little louder. But d bass/treble r produced at amazing quality.
CAMERA - 2 MP camera is awesome wit 20x zoom. There are quite a few clicking options. But red eye reduction is really missed here.
SLIDER - This one is a big pain and u wil end up sliding it accidently. For rough users be careful or u mite damage it.
SPEAKERS - Speakers r of decent quality & loud enough.
ACTIVE TOOLBAR - It is a v.useful utility n u can access ur fav. stuf rite frm main screen without having to browse deep in ur cel.
DOES THE PHONE HANG? - Against popular belief dat all d N series phones hav hanging prb., this phones have not hung even once
PC Suite n N72 – Once u have installed PC Suite with d CD dat comes with N72 cell, browsing ur phone is just v.easy. The USB cable provided makes faster data transfer possible. U wudnt need a Mobtime Manager or odr s/w. to browse ur phone or install applications…
VERDICT - 4.5/5
- 0.5 points coz of d keys n slider…
SUGGESTION – Plz get ur phone protected with SCRATCHGUARD
PRICE apprx Rs.15200
