[UPDATE] There’s a nice comparison between Apple iPhone 4 vs HTC EVO 4G! Check it out! You won’t regret it

Yeah, I know that it’s a bit late to reveal the Nokia E72 vs E75 comparison… But nevertheless, I think that this is gonna be an interesting comparison. Hopefully, you will see through both phones and can decide which one is better in the business phone comparison, Nokia E72 or Nokia E75.

Nokia e72 vs e75 comparison

Here’s the Nokia E72 review conclusion made by our folks at gsmarena:

Speaking of hardware, the “cheap plastic syndrome” is the curse of some of the most capable smartphones. Blazing fast wireless connectivity won’t make up for the cheapish looking plastic. But the Nokia E72 has the cure – metal – and it looks as good as it performs.

So, the Nokia E72 is king of the Eseries but whether it’s the best choice for you is another matter. The Nokia E71 is still something to be reckoned with, though E72 brings a few important improvements, the chief of which is the upgraded camera (and probably the 600MHz CPU).

For the time being the E71 takes one step down the rank and continues to do its job. The E72 sees to it that the lineup is up to date. Nokia is betting on two horses in the QWERTY messenger race and everyone is happy. That includes us – users. Business as usual in the Eseries.

And here is the Nokia E75 review conclusion, made by the same team:

Adding value to an already impressive fleet of business handsets is by no means an easy task. And since there’s no doubt that the E75 is up to the E-series standard – there’s nothing too big to complain about. Though, well, there’s nothing too big altogether. Nokia E75 is just an alternative: it’s the usual Eseries skill with a different approach to QWERTY and compact design.

Form factor aside, the only things Nokia E75 has over the E71 are the FP2 and the VGA@30fps video recording but that doesn’t give it much of a multimedia edge. Nor does the 3.5 mm jack (that’s another novelty) make such a big difference to us.

But anyway, even if the E75 has nothing groundbreaking to offer it still can’t be ignored as a viable Eseries option. After all, a handset that sits between E90 and E71 just can’t go wrong. There maybe nothing to write home about but write you sure will.

Anyway, here’s the side by side comparison table between Nokia E72 vs E75:

There you go. I hope the Nokia E72 vs E75 comparison can help you decide which phone to buy, coz both phones are business phone and the price tag is not so different. If you like this E72 vs E75 comparison you might also like the comparison between E72 vs E71 or E71 vs E63 I made before. Enjoy, guys.

Just several days ago we presented a review on the Sony Ericsson Vivaz, and we find the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is a very interesting high-end touchscreen phone with a very nice style and camera result. Today we will do a comparison between the Sony Ericsson Vivaz vs Samsung Omnia HD vs Sony Ericsson Satio vs Samsung Jet. We will focus the comparison on camera capabilities and the touchscreen comparison.

Sony Ericsson Vivaz vs Samsung i8910 Omnia HD

It is a destined comparison. The reason? Both of Sony Ericsson Vivaz and Samsung Omnia HD has a Symbian OS and 720p video, making them a bitter rival. Samsung Omnia HD was released months before the Sony Ericsson Vivaz. Samsung Omnia HD does have some problems at launch, such as audio quality and framerate issues in videos. But since it’s been a while since the launch, Samsung have managed to fix the audio problem by switching to AAC, but video is still struggling to make it to 24 frames per second.

In the opposite side of the ring we have the Sony Ericsson Vivaz. We already aware that the Vivaz has some issues as well, but it is capable of delivering all 24 fps – and the HD video recording is quite promising. In addition, the Symbian UI in the Sony Ericsson Vivaz also feels more refined and smooth. Simple yet effective placement of phone functionality on the home screen is nice, and there’s also the custom media menu. I also think that the Sony Ericsson Vivaz’s design is better compared to the Samsung Omnia HD

Sony Ericsson Vivaz vs Sony Ericsson Satio

Most of the Sony Ericsson Vivaz’s functionality can also be found in the Sony Ericsson Satio. Based on the design, they also have some resemblances. The difference is that the Vivaz has a more curved top and bottom. Another difference is the screen size. Vivaz has 3.2″ screen, while the Satio has 3.5″ screen. However, the Vivaz won in the video recording capabilities, since the Satio can only capture VGA@30fps. However, the Satio has 12MP still shots. Satio still lives in a FastPort world though, so finding a good pair of headphones might be a problem.

Sony ericsson Vivaz vs Samsung S8000 Jet

We have to admit that Samsung S8000 Jet has one of the best touchscreen display out there. The Sony Ericsson Vivaz does have a slightly bigger screen, but the Samsung Jet has 480 x 800 pixels resolution. And for the record, it also uses AMOLED screen (SE Vivaz only uses resistive TFT screen with 640 x 360 pixels) so the Samsung Jet really does have a great pixel density.

However, in terms of camera Sony Ericsson Vivaz outrun the Samsung Jet big time. The Samsung S8000 Jet has only 5 megapixels and D1@30fps to offer. Another problem with the Samsung Jet is that it doesn’t have the flexibility of a smartphone, even though it has a SatNav software and a document viewer.

Ok so that’s it for today, and hopefully in the future I will release a more detailed comparison between those smartphones. So stay tuned here at gadgetwidgets.com
