living up to the N series standard

Cons: MMC, poor screen, okay camera

Summary: Pros:
- The phone's much cheaper than other N Series phones - you can easily get one way under $320 these days
- Compared to the N80 and N90, this one's more appealing to the eyes
- The camera has a flash! *yay*
- And S60's a killer, especially for those who are using it for the first time.
- Oddly enough, contrary to what it looks like, the phone is not at all scratch-prone. My wife keeps it in her hand bag with all sorts of keys and makeup but there's not even a single scratch!

Cons:
- Why does Nokia even use MMCs? SD's more compatible.
- The screen and camera aren't absolutely great, but I'm comparing it with Samsung mobiles that have a knack of kicking Nokia's hiney when it comes to screen resolution!
- The phone can get sluggish, but I expect that from all phones these days.

Really bad... no talktime

by Hello_World on December 14, 2006

Pros: I'll find out when the battery lasts long enough

Cons: battery life, bad service

Summary: This may be a specific problem with my N-72, but the battery life is terrible. It is just about 4 to 5 months old, and the talktime is just 30 mins... i.e. on a single charge I can make only 30 mins of calls. I need to recharge the battery EVERY DAY, and the recharging takes close to 3 hours. After many trips to Nokia "Care" service centers, and being away from my phone for a day, each time; I was told that the problem is with the MMC card, and if the MMC card is removed, then the phone talktime would improve. This I found to be correct... the phone did work well and talktime improved without the MMC card, but then now I cannot shoot photos or store MP3's. I might as well have gone for a low-end phone without a camera!! Nokia customer care does not believe that the problem is with the phone, and keeps blaming everything from the SIM card, the charger, to the FM radio and handsfree kit (these 2, I've never used so far). I'm quite sick of them.
