Nokia N97 mini and Nokia E72

For the first time you can set up instant messaging (IM) directly from the homescreen, accessing communities such as Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk and Ovi Chat.

The Nokia E72 can also accommodate multiple work and personal email accounts and, with separate profiles for work and play, allows people to be flexible when it comes to choosing how, when, where and who to respond to.

First impressions are pretty good, certainly when it comes to the physical build of the Booklet 3G.  The whole thing is sturdy and compact, with only the plastic lid insert – black on our version, but available in different (though not user-interchangeable) colors – letting things down slightly.  The keyboard is compact but the keys seem to have decent tactile feedback; we’ll have to see how frustrating the incredibly glossy glass display ends up.

Although there is no different on the hardware specs and design, Mobile Review’s Eldar Murtazin has spotted some changes on the built in software. First the Motorola Milestone has got mutitouch support while the US version Motorola Droid do not have this activated. You can use the multitouch for zooming in web browser and photo viewer. Secondly the Google Maps Navigation will not be supported in Motorola Milestone. Motorola will pre-install its own MOTONAV software for turn-by-turn navigation and it will only be available for 60-days trial.

You can expect to see the official Motorola Milestone announcement soon. Mean while check out the hands on video by Eldar Murtazin below

The video posted on YouTube did not reveal much on the specifications detail. Though, you can spot some of its hardware design in the video like USB connector with a cover, 3.5mm headphone jack, volume control buttons, camera button and power button.

“In September, 2009, we exceeded 2 million Nokia N97 devices sold, and now introduce the Nokia N97 mini, underscoring the success of the design. We have also listened to consumer feedback about the performance of the device. The Nokia N97 software update 2.0 is a way for us to optimize the device and add new features and functions,” said Jose-Luis Martinez, Vice President, Nokia Nseries. “We are also excited about the early feedback that we have received on the Nokia N97 mini, which carries a very similar feature set to the original Nokia N97 and comes in a pocket-friendly size for those out and about.”

Among the new experiences available with the free 2.0 software update are:

• ‘flip scrolling’ has been added in the entire user interface, making scrolling in all views very smooth
• shortcuts to personalized homescreen
• Ovi Maps 3.1 with 3-D maps
• Nokia e-mail (Nokia Messaging)
• Ovi Contacts
• Ovi Store

The 8 megapixel camera does not have a Xenon flash but comes with a LED flash instead. It can also record 30fps VGA video, plus a helpful list of features like smile shutter, image stabilizer and face detection. The new leaked photo above did not have the company’s unique user interface though. Just like HTC Sense, Sony Ericsson is developing its custom user interface to replace the usual default Android UI.
