Nokia E72 and Nokia 6760 slide in stores now

 To coincide with the arrival of the Nokia E72 and Nokia 6760 slide, 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, Mr.Shumit Kapoor, General Manager, Nokia (Thailand) Ltd 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.

Nokia E72 for comprehensive messaging solution

Nokia unveiled the new Nokia E72, its latest full QWERTY smartphone which brings a rich mobile email and chat experience right out of the box, making it a great device for people who want to be connected, and productive in both their personal and professional lives. 

Building on the formula from the hugely successful Nokia E71, this latest arrival in Nokia's Eseries family maintains the essential elements of its predecessor, whilst still improving its capabilities in a number of areas. For the first time, owners will be able to set up chat accounts provided by Nokia Messaging direct from the homescreen. In just a few steps, device owners will be able to connect to their favorite chat accounts such as Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk and Ovi amongst many others. The Nokia E72 is available now at 15,170 baht.

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).

In addition to great messaging options, features like the inbuilt A-GPS module together with the 3D landmarks and the terrain maps give a greater dimension to the Nokia 6760 slide.

At the end of the day, the Nokia 6760 slide is a great multi-tasker - you can tweet, email, chat, share online, browse the web, listen to music, all at the same time. And it makes phone calls too!
