Wazuans, please advice should I go for the E5 and save some penny or just go for the E72.

From the two phones reviews, they both have what am looking for>>3G network, 5MP camera and a GPS system.
The E5 has a higher ram 256 V. 128 (E72), and can take up to 32 GB micro SD v 16 GB (E72) and is a later release. The E72 has better display TFT,16 M colours V TFT,256 (E5), an optical track pad and an accelorometer sensor.

@Ceinz. so long as it genuine Nokia, go for the recent model. Buy from a reputable seller like Nakumatt(in Kenya)and save a few coins.

Never seen such a problem phone. Hardly 3 months old, battery issues, camera not working, etc. I would not touch an E72 again. E71 was more reliable.

E5 replaced the Nokia E63. It's also a cheaper phone than the E72 (Which replaced the E71).

Been using an E72 and the only issue I have with it is that it hangs once in awhile.

Incidentally, it shares it's battery with E61i (and probably E71) so @FundamentAli possibly the issue was with your particular headset.

A useful side by side comparison here:

i would rather go for the E71...truly a messenger of steel....good usage, very user friendly and very strong...though my suggestion is - buy a new phone from a recognised dealer..phone express or any other genuine Nokia dealer....its better to pay a few thousands more with an assurance that ur getting a worthy piece..rather than buy a used phone and u dunno it's history..

Thanks guys, Tuvok thanks for the link. The analysis is superb. Captainrio, il consider E71 as well, funny how my focus was on just those two.
