Nokia announces E72 and 5530 XpressMusic

It's good news for Nokia fans. The company has announced two new phones during the Connection 09 event in Singapore. The first phone is E72 which is the succesor to the company's popular E71 and includes an array of new features such as optical scrolling, five-megapixel camera, slim 10mm frame, 10.2Mbps HSDPA, 3.5mm audio jack, active noise cancellation for improved sound quality on calls, digital compass and many more. The device is expected to hit the retail shelves in the third quarter of 2009 with an estimated price tag of about $489. The phone definitely seems to be a solid upgrade to the E71 and the price tag also doesn't hurt when compared with similar models. Check out the video on the read link for a short glimpse on the device.

The second phone announced in the event is the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic which is a stripped down version of the popular 5800 XpressMusic. While the phone looks very similar to the 5800, some features like 3G support has been removed to bring the cost down. However the phone still packs some nice features like a large touch screen with tactile feedback, 3.2-megapixel camera with LED flash, Bluetooth, WiFi, and EDGE for connectivity, 3.5mm audio jack and some minor tweaks here and there to the OS. This device is also expected to hit the retail shelves in the third quarter of 2009 with an estimated price tag of about $278. Sure, E72 is the hot announcement here, but I'm sure 5530 will definitely please the budget minded Nokia fans, for it's relatively low price tag. Hit on the read link for the official pages for both the phones.
