Espoo, Finland - The highly-anticipated Nokia E72, a device
tailor-made for business and personal messaging is now available in
stores. To coincide with the arrival of the Nokia E72, Nokia has also
released research* revealing that more people rely on email than on
traditional phone calls or text messaging when sending and responding
to critical information.
Speaking about the research results, Nokia vice president Ukko
Lappalainen said, "The research shows that people are spending an
average of five full days per year - equivalent to a full work week -
responding to emails. Half of us (46 percent) choose email over voice
or text to send and receive important information. The Nokia E72 was
designed exactly with this kind of person in mind - it allows the
owner to be more responsive and communicate how they want, whenever
they want and wherever they are."
The Nokia E72 builds on the formula from Nokia's most successful full
QWERTY keyboard device, the Nokia E71, and adds important new
functionality such as desktop-like email and chat experiences.
Morevoer, the latest version of Ovi Maps with A-GPS navigation and
compass, an optical navi key and 5 megapixel camera are all packed
into the sleek, beautifully-designed handset.
The Nokia E72 also comes with Nokia's push consumer email service,
Nokia Messaging, and now for the first time people can set up instant
messaging (IM) directly from the homescreen, accessing communities
such as Windows Live(TM) Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk and
Ovi Chat. Just like chatting via the desktop, people can respond to
friends and colleagues across multiple communities in real-time.
The Nokia E72 can also accommodate multiple work and personal email
accounts and, with separate profiles for work and play, allows people
to be flexible when it comes to choosing how, when, where and who to
respond to. While work emails rank as the most important messages to
receive, they are not necessarily the most urgent messages to respond
to. According to Nokia's research, half of respondents (49 percent)
prioritise their partners ahead of their bosses or managers (29
percent), colleagues (23 percent) and even customers (31 percent).
The Nokia responsiveness research was commissioned to examine the
various factors that influence how people respond to various issues
and situations. In addition to the research, an online campaign at
http://www.nokia.com/responsiveness invites people around the world
to respond to various issues and comments from TED Fellows.
