Nokia announced earlier last week that they will be following up the Nokia E71 business handset with the Nokia E72. The second series promises to continue the thin and sleek styling of the current model and its QWERTY keypad. But adds on a few impressive features along with a 5 mega pixels camera in comparison to the current 3.2 camera. The phone promises better internet than its predecessors, with 16GB memory card and users will also be able to access web based emails, such as Hotmail and Yahoo mail.

The phone is scheduled to be launched in the final quarter 2009 for £300 pre VAT.
