The Nokia E72 is a smartphone from the Nokia Eseries range. It is the successor to the Nokia E71 and is based on a similar design and form factor, and offers a similar feature set. The Nokia E72 is an enterprise-based smartphone (as it is a Nokia Eseries device) and has standard features including mobile email, calendar and instant messaging amongst many others.

The Nokia E72 has a new Optical Navi Key feature as opposed to the standard D-pad used on many other Nokia devices including the Nokia E71 - this is said to improve the ease of scrolling through menus, emails, Internet browser, and images as it is an optical sensor rather than a series of closely-spaced buttons. In comparison to its predecessor, the Nokia E72 is said to have a higher level of performance (likely due to the faster 600 MHz ARM processor) and also includes a 5 Megapixel AF camera. Other changes and improvements are software-based including changes to the user interface and built-in messaging application amongst others.

Due to the E72's striking similarity to the Blackberry in both appearance and function it is sometimes refered to as the 'Fakeberry' in the UK, particularly by younger people.^{[citation needed]}

The Nokia E72 was announced on June 15, 2009 at the Nokia Connections 2009 event in Singapore^[3].

The Nokia E73 Mode is a USA version of the E72 for T-Mobile USA, with support for T-Mobile's UMA service and Band IV support for 3G.

The last firmware of this device is 031.023 published on mar-31-2010 (to check the current firmware *#0000#). Anyways some Nokia costumers are not happy with this last upgrade and they ask for a new firmware version the soon as possible^[4]
