i read this review about nokia e5, the new addition to the e-series family,
it kind off sound like it'll be great. i have been considering going for e72,
i may just go for it, kindly share your experience using it.

They both seems same but cheaper on the e5.
Currently rocking the E72, though not seen the E5 but its specs seems as cool as the E72 nothing more.

nobody talking about E73?

am a nokia fan oh. . . .
but men ANDROID is the way. . . .

yes oh

I use E61, how do l maximise its usage. eobinna44@yahoo.com

Bought the E5 last week for 37k.
Its not bad at all. The build quality is very good and it doesn't feel cheap at all. The keyboard is actually better than the E72's and the battery life is excellent. It has the same 600mhz processor as the E72 but twice as much ram (256mb). Ram has been a major weakness of Nokia phones of late (esp. the N97) so its nice to see them addressing this.
The camera is slightly rubbish though. Its 5 megapixels but fixed focus and it takes crappy pictures. The screen is also slightly inferior to what usually obtains in this price range though its not that noticable especially to the untrained eye.
It has a very good IM client that works with MSN, yahoo and gtalk. Combining this with the email client gives you a very blackberry-like experience depending on how good you edge/3G service is.
It also has GPS and Ovi maps wih free navigation but no accelerometer or digital compass unlike the E72.
If it was a little bit cheaper, I would have said this was a fantastic deal. Nokia actually announced in April that it would cost only 180 dollars (N27k) but they've jacked up the price since then. The problem is that it now costs about the same as a Blackberry curve which is a better messanging phone so I can't really recommend it unless like me, you can't stand Blackberrys.
6/10

On second thought, maybe I was too harsh on the camera. I've played with it a little more and its actually not that bad. I still think the E72's is better sha. At least that one can focus and take macro shots.

The beta side for the phone is push email facility which E72 lacks.
so it's a better messaging phone compare to E72

The push e-mail function comes from the Nokia Messaging app which is easy to download for the E72 through the Ovi store. The only difference is that it comes built-in with the E5. In any case, I haven't been able to get it to work. I'm still using old school POP to get my emails for now.

To me, the main difference between the two phones (besides the camera) is the extra 128Mb of RAM. Sometimes, I find myself running 10 or more apps at the same time and I haven't had a single out-of-memory error. Its a really big improvement.

but the e72 looks sleeker dan the e5. . . .
well cant say about the performance of both since i hv not personally handled them
