This week we take a look at Nokia’s successor to the E71, the E72, and discover what’s new and what has changed since, and why this particular phone actually deserves a two part special on our show!

That’s a mouthful of a title! The story is that a few days ago, WOMWorld.com sent me an email to invite me to take part in their international unboxing challenge where I have to work with 3 other bloggers from the region to solve some clues, where the answer to the clues would allow us to open up our boxes. We managed to work together and get ours open!

My team mates:
- Adrian Cheng (http://www.mye63.blogspot.com, Australia)
- Shazly Makeen (http://womlanka.com, Sri Lanka)
- Abe Olandres (http://www.yugatech.com/blog/, Philippines)

Our Clues:
- I weighed in at 210gm
- I’ve got brains and brawn
- I’ve got good social skills
- I was conceived 11 years after the first device of my kind

The clues referred to the Nokia E90, which was released in 2007, and the answer was 2007. Special thanks to my team for helping out to discovering the answer! And thanks WOMWorld.com for inviting me to this challenge!

The challenge hasn’t ended by the way! This is supposedly only the first part! Oh, and watch out for our reviews up soon!

The first non-Nokia device running on Series 60 S60 version 5 is what we’re taking a look today: The Samsung i8910 HD, more commonly known by its old name: the Omnia HD. For once, the HD actually stands for 720p HD, as in the ability to record 720p HD video, and not “higher definition than you”.

By the way, if you haven’t noticed, this is the second Gear65 episode this week! That’s right, two for the price of one!!

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? And what it the iPhone’s impact on the rest of the smartphone industry and what makes them so succesful? These are just some of the thought provoking discussions that we have in this week’s relatively shorter but heavier episode of 65bits. Plus we discover NTT’s opinion on fancy IM features, and how he just doesn’t get what kids like these days.
