The Nokia E72 is an extremely attractive phone with excellent build quality. It features a full QWERTY keypad, a quality 5 megapixel camera with flash, and solid call quality.

Remember the HTC O2 XDA? Neither do we, but just for the record, HTC would like to remind you that it was the first 3.5-inch color touch screen phone in the world when it launched back in 2002. You know, in case Apple wants to get all technical about who did what first.
