The Nokia N72 is one of Nokia's high-end Nseries mobile phones, it is effectively a re-branded Nokia N70 with a reduced feature set. For an Nseries phone its features are quite limited, as it has only a 2MP camera, lacks WiFi, 3G, and runs on Symbian 8.1a operating system.

The N72 is based upon the N70 and is actually a remake of the N70-5 but was redesigned and is targeted at the mass market just like its prior model the N70-5 by the removal of the 3G hardware, making it much cheaper. However, it retains the same edition of the Symbian OS as the N70, as well as a similar set of features.

The Nokia N72 is a feature-rich phone with a 2 megapixel camera, a built-in flash, FM radio, Bluetooth 2.0, digital music player functionality and support for 3D Java games. It also sports Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 - Pop-Port interface.

It uses the S60 user-interface and the Symbian 8.1a operating system. It is available in two colors namely glossy black and pearl pink.

External Memory

The N72 uses Dual-Voltage Reduced Size MMC (DV-RS-MMC) cards which are also marketed as MMCmobile. These cards should not be mistaken as RS-MMC cards, which have only 7 contact pins but with the same size and form factor.
