Cause we figured, why not compare two of Nokia’s Latest devices ?
Here are a couple size comparison pics of the Nokia N97 Mini vs the Nokia E72.
Front View :
If you look at these two devices side-by-side you can totally tell they’re made for different market segments. The E72 has more Metal all around, and the One-Touch keys on the front. The E72 is also a bit wide-er than the N97 Mini, but about the same size lengthwise.
The E72 has a 2.4? screen while the N97 Mini has a 3.2? touchscreen. Both have front-facing VGA cameras in the upper side, near a earpiece and light sensor. The N97 Mini also has a proxity sensor at the top.
The E72 also has a full Qwerty Keyboard while the N97 Mini has a touchscreen on the front with a slide out full Qwerty Keyboard.
The Full Qwerty Keyboard of the N97 Mini is noticably larger than the E72, thanks to its slide-out form-factor. The N97 Mini’s keys are flat (and very slightly raised) while the E72 has raised keys to help make typing easier.
That being said, the E72′s Keyboard does look cramped compared to the N97 Mini.
Back View :
The E72 has a 5 Megapixel Standard Nokia Camera at its back, with a single LED Flash. It also has metallic back panel.
The N97 Mini has a 5 Megapixel Carl Zeiss Camera at the back, with a dual LED Flash, and metallic back panel.
Its worth mentioning that the E72 has its loudspeaker located at the back.
Left View :
The E72 has its MicroSD and MicroUSB (which can also be used to charge the device) port here. You’ll also notice that the E72 is a lot thinner than the N97.
The N97 Mini has its microUSB port (which is also used to charge the device) here on the left side. There’s also its sliding keypad lock switch, and both its stereo speakers at either end.
Top View :

The E72 has its volume increase/decrease (aka zoom in/out) keys here, along with a mute/voicetag key in the middle.
