Nokia E72 vs BlackBerry Tour 9630: Business Phones

There are two business phones that looks set to go head to head to try to gain a greater market share, and these are the Nokia E72 and the BlackBerry Tour 9630. Both handsets will be launched later this year. We have already reported that the BlackBerry Tour 9630 will be launched in the summer on Sprint and Verizon.

According to PC World, the Nokia E72 will be made available in Q3 of 2009. When you look at both handsets, the do look very similar, although the BlackBerry Tour is a little wider and thicker than the Nokia E72, both weigh 4.5 ounces.

Both handsets have a 2.4-inch display, but it is the BlackBerry Tour that takes the win here, as its screen is much brighter and crisper. Navigating is one of the most important features for a business handset, and the BlackBerry Tour uses the trackball that has been used on previous BlackBerry models. The E72 has something new to offer, and that is an optical trackpad, which certainly looks very easy to use. Read more about the specs here.
