After whizzing through the FCC last July, it was only a matter of time before the NAM version of E71’s successor made an appearance stateside.  Amazon is now offering the Nokia E72 on a preorder and if you have been waiting for the device to pop up online, you can go ahead and order it for $469.  There is still no word on the actual release date or if there is a benevolent carrier ready to pick it up, but with triband 850/1900/2100MHz 3G network support, which is the frequency AT&T’s 3G operates at, we wouldn’t be surprised if AT&T announced the device in the coming days.  Other features of the E72 include a QWERTY keypad, a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash, WiFi, GPS, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Curios what phones will Nokia launch next? Well it looks like there are plenty of rumors out there especially since the Nokia World event is almost upon us. And people say that Cseries and Xseries phones are definitely going to be presented in Germany this September. Xseries phones will replace the XpressMusic line and it’s being suggested that the first Xseries phone will be a new version of the recently launched 5530 XpressMusic

As for Nseries phones, a new touchscreen model seems to be in the works for later this year so if you love Nokia you’ll surely have a few new handsets to choose from. The Eseries will be getting the first S60 5th Edition model in 2010 so all we have to do is sit and wait for all these new Nokia handsets to be officially unveiled. And we’re definitely interested to see which ones of these upcoming Nokia phones will be picked up by North American carriers!

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.
