Nokia E72 leaks out in promo video form

Looks like the E71 is about to be upstaged as Nokia's premier business-class smartphone -- someone in Espoo's just hit the corporate YouTube account with this promo video for an E72. Upgrades include a five megapixel camera, a relocated headphone jack, and what looks to be an optical mouse instead of a D-pad -- a welcome upgrade for click-happy S60. That's all we know for now, but we're digging for more -- check the video after the break.

Update: The YouTube video's been pulled, but luckily the guys from IntoMobile snagged it.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

This new "optical mouse" thingy is really cool. Any further information about it?!

[dhlt25 Posted Jun 14th 2009 5:18PM]

this is perfect. I've been using the e71 for almost a year and loved it. This will be my next upgrade

To bad ATT will take about a year to bring it on board.

Why the hell would you wait for the ATT version when you could just buy the better unbranded version...lol.

@ Miles

The E71 I have seen with many different breeds of people. From mothers to teens, italian cool boys to the ragga with the puffa jacket! I expect to see the iPhone everywhere, I see BlackBerrys in all forms everywhere, I didn't expect to see the E71 penetrate the social market in such a way.

I own the E71 and 5800, I rarely use the 5800 because the phone is that good!

Man I can't wait for this!! I can sell my n79 and e71!

I dig the retro software. Very late 90's SmartPhone. So hip. Personally I'll take something a bit more modern but I respect those who have such a commitment to retro style.

E71 rehash. We've seen it all before with Moto and the Razr.

Oh look, HoFo's whiny girl is also on Engadget!

"Leaked" firmwares, promo videos "accidentally" made public on YouTube...

This new marketing strategy is becoming a very common occurrence nowadays.

Trust me when I say that I am the guy who is constantly defending Nokia to all my iphone/blackberry/android yielding friends and co-workers.

Ever since the ill fated and often misunderstood N-Gage (the original taco phone) had I loved the S60 experience. But unfortunatly I can no longer bear such a stagnant operating system. S60 has become like windows vista, so heavily bogged down in old code that it really is no joy to use.

My main gripe is the apps. Too few and way too expensive for what you get. My friends blast me with the "there's an app for that" and my insides churn as I reply "oh, yes. Symbian has an app for that... but its crap and costs $97.50..."

Here's the deal Nokia, Make the N97 feel right and I'll forgive you for the N95 and the E71's dull user experience...

I love Nokia

[engadgetjp Posted Jun 14th 2009 9:58PM]

At the end of the video, the camera is just too slow to focus at the girl, instead it captured the monument at the back.
