Review Summary |
A better attempt than the Nokia 8850 Gold, the warm tones of the Sirocco Gold are more true to its \"born by a wind of Sahara\" myth-making. However, premium pricing does not equate feature-packed. |
Business users looking for a competent, no-nonsense smartphone will like the E72 for its breadth of features and stylish design. |
More info |
HTC's first smartphone with WM6.5 ticks almost all the boxes for an entry-level smartphone, though it needs to be cheaper to differentiate itself from more highly-specced products. |
