Earlier, I introduced to you the Nokia E72 from the point of view of an E71 addict, explained in detail the things I love and the things I hate about this successor compared to the old Eseries favorite. Today, I take an in-depth look at the hardware of the E72 as opposed to the one [...]
Although my first impressions of the Nokia E72 weren’t highly positive, as I found it to be disturbingly similar to my trusty E71, it started growing on me after a while. After using the E72 as my daily phone for over a month now, I can clearly see which improvements have been made that really [...]

The game involves controlling a cute little red ball around to simply bounce around to clear the different stages.

Not anymore, as Samir [...]
