Nokia is shutting down its stores in New York and Chicago, but before they go they are holding one last weekend sale!

Nokia Experts scooped this, and Techcraver found out some more details (like pricing!). If you’re looking to buy a new phone, or give one as a gift, this is a good way for your last minute shopping to save you some money!

Before you run off and spend your Christmas money on the shiny new Nokia E72, however, you might want to wait for a firmware update. All About Symbian has a review of the E72, and it’s not exactly glowing in places.

Essentially, they felt it was lacking in a few key areas, mainly software related. Apparently Nokia Messaging was even worse for them than it was in my own experience; Steve Litchfield says he was totally unable to set up any email addresses in it! He also slams the multimedia experience a few times, though the E-series has never been known for multimedia. Check out Part 1 and part 2 of their thorough review!

Personally, I’m pretty turned off by the pictures I’ve seen of the keyboard; why make the spacebar so small? If you’re a Nokia fan, are you drooling over the E72? Or are you saving your pennies for the N900 or the N97 Mini? Let us know!
