You'd think that Nokia would want to do a better job of building upsuch important product announcements with a long, drawn-out series offrustratingly unhelpful teasers, viral videos, and global PR campaigns,but instead, it turns out that the rumored
E72 and
5530 XpressMusichave been officially unveiled at the company's Connection 09 event inSingapore. The E72 is arguably the bigger announcement of the two,succeeding the E71 by adding a whopping 5 megapixel camera, a 3.5mmheadphone jack (thank goodness), integrated compass, 10.2Mbps HSDPA,and an optical navigation pad; it'll hit in the third quarter for €350(about $489). Follow the break for video of the E72 in slick, polished,high-orchestrated marketing action. Next up, as we'd heard, the 5530ends up being a small step down from the
5800in the S60 5th Edition totem pole, offering just EDGE data without anyform of 3G (though you've still got WiFi). It's got a 3.2 megapixelcamera with LED flash, 3.5mm jack, and a 640 x 360 touchscreen display.Like the E72 it'll be available in the third quarter; it'll retail for€199 (about $278) unlocked.
