The Nokia E72 White Edition has now been officially announced and launched. The sharp white take on the business-suited Nokia E72 brings a hint of ice cool to the range and joins the Nokia E72 Black and Nokia E72 Grey editions. Read on to find out more about the Nokia E72 White Edition.

We first saw hints and signs about the Nokia E72 White Edition last week when a competition site to win one went online. Nokia has now officially launched the Nokia White E72 Edition, which apart from the new colour is very much the same killer messaging device.

Joining the new Nokia E72 White are a clutch of new white accessories, including Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-216, Nokia StereoHeadset WH-205, white pouch, white strap and other white attachments.

Nokia has also announced the availability of a firmware update for the Nokia E72, which is no doubt the Nokia E72 Firmware v31.023 update that hit the Nokia Software Updater last week. The update brings the latest version of Ovi Maps with free turn-by-turn navigation, improved stability, and enhanced social networking – ie, Facebook is now on the Nokia E72 by default.

The Nokia E72 White Edition has yet to appear on the Nokia Online site, where you'll find the current models selling for £299 (inc. VAT) SIM free. So, we'd expect the Nokia E72 White Edition to be making an appearance for the same price.
