Well, that was fast!  Barely hours after we first heard that there was such a device, Nokia has owned up and announced the brand new nokia E72.  The much sleeker look and well-rounded edges aside, the nokia E72 gains a few more improvements over the E71.  The monoblock, QWERTY-toting smartphone now houses a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, a 3.5 mm headset jack to appease music lovers, and Symbian S60 Feature Pack 2, just like we knew already.  What caught our eye the most was the new optical Navikey, which seems like a cool way to blaze through the nokia E72’s menus and functions.  Look for this one to land late in the third part of 2009 with a $489 price tag.  Watch hands-on video after the break to see it in action.
