I was quite surprised (like anyone who used to have Nokia E71)  to find that the Nokia E72 doesn’t include Nokia Internet Radio. Nokia Fanboy just dropped me a comment that solution can be found on his web site. The original post can be found in Symbain-Guru.

Thank you

I really don’t have anything against the world traveler by Psiloc that delivers with the Nokia E72 but I prefers the Worldmate.
The Worldmate offers following services for free:

• World Clock
• Currency Converter
• World Weather
• Weathercaset

The weathercast is scheduled weather updates that can be scheduled for up to twice a day.

For those who travel frequently there is a gold  annual subscriber for the additional following  services:

• Flight Status for more than 175 airlines
• Real-time Alerts for flight delays or cancellations
• Flight Schedules for over 800 airlines
• Satellite Weather Imagery

Download the application from the E72 browser: m.mobimate.com

OVI Store or the attached barcode

Nokia published new software update for the Nokia E72. The new software version is 022.007.

To display current phone software version type  *#0000# or Menu->Ctrl. panel->Phone->Device mgr.

From same screen it’s possible to check if new software available for your phone: Options-> Check for update.

If software update available for your phone just confirm the software update. The software downloads, Phone restarts and then the new version installs. The complete update takes about 5 minutes.

You might find that the new version is not available for your phone. Nokia releases different software versions updates according to region and operator.

The only change I have noticed after upgrading is fixing the contacts key issue. In the old version long press on the contacts key didn’t create new contact like it should.

Found new features or fix after upgrading? Please write in the comments box.

Important notice: Backup phone content before upgrading to the new version.

I like to communicate with friends and family using messenger on my E72. It’s better then using SMS or MMS, it’s free, I can transfer files and pictures, bi directional chat and even VoIP calls supported . Most of us using more then one messenger application, so installing and running multiple applications on the E72 is not the right solution. Fring provides you the ability to communicate with friends and family who are using different messengers in one simple interface.

It has been log time ago since we had to carry CDs to listen to music on the move. Even today when using MP3 it’s not very convenient to copy MP3 files from the computer to MP3 player or your Nokie E72. Files are lost on the way, memory size is limited and Murphy laws always work, you copy all your songs except your favorite one.
