Nokia N75 Review

Symbian smartphone for AT&T

While the Nokia N75 was a great phone when announced over 6 months ago, it has since been passed by other, more advanced models. The phone has many strong points, but lacks in important areas such as battery life. Unless you need some of the specific applications that come with or are available for the Symbian OS, look at different models. AT&T and Nokia should have had this phone out 6 months ago, which is ages in mobile technology.

1. A step in the right direction for AT&T

Having had this phone now for 6 months, I can still say that I really love this phone despite some of the problems I've had. Looking at all the phones offered by any major US carrier, this was the only one that stood out to me, and I'm happy to own it.

Here's what I like about it: S60 3rd Ed, stereo speakers, number pad, front and main displays are BIG and beautiful, sound quality, ability to hold a signal, dedicated music keys on the front (no touch sensitive music keys - can't stand that garbage), how customizable it is, 3G, MicroSD card slot location (Not inside the phone), ability to sync with outlook, internet browser, and it's a smartphone!

What I didn't like: AT&T removed A2DP, SIM card slot horribly designed, AT&T's software slowed the phone down (causing it to freeze/forcing you to restart it sometimes), lack of RAM (might be AT&T's software), pop port instead of micro-usb, the flip didn't feel as strong as my old SGH-e317 did (doesn't close as tight, and the flip itself doesn't feel as sturdy), carrier enforced limit on ringtone size, vibrate is a little weak, and what ever happened to phones coming with games??

I believe this phone has a good amount of potential, but given what AT&T did with it, its being held back. The camera is ok; don't expect the flash to make a difference. All it seems to do is ruin pictures. Video recording is pretty good considering its only 352x288 recording at 15fps. The battery is the one issue I keep hearing about with this phone, and I didn't expect it to last longer than 2 days when I first got it, and it doesn't. Residing in an area with garbage service kills my battery compared to when I'm actually at my real home. Use it a lot though and it's going to run out in 1 day. I'd really like to see what this phone is like unbranded, but I'm happy with it now.

Very good phone!!! Nokia always surprices me!!!
Design is very good!!! Very high quality and good looking body.
Display is gorgeous, 16 mil. colors is amazing. The keypad is like a Mercedes S600 class, very profeccinal and attractive and pleasure to use. Receptiopn is like a 6 feet antena- awesome. battery life is very long (not sure why people complain about battery, maybe they have old version of N75?!) Mine is AT&T branded.

Finally a smartphone that doesnt look like one!!
Brialliant 2.4" display is wonderful as well.
This phone pulls in a signal like a Motorola (a good thing), and holds onto calls very well.
I HIGHLY recommend this phone.

4. Learn It....Love It

I had the unfortunate happenstance of having the Razor as my intro phone into the cell world of plans. What a mistake that was. This N75 is a God send and is the epitomae of a great phone. The only things that bug me are these - The programs you might not ever have to use, No software support from the manufactuerer, and the battery life sucks. By the way for those of you with ATT don't try and warrenty exchange the thing they will send you a remuddled one that dosen't even work out of the box, It happened to me. The POP3 access is great and the fact that I can stream video or video share with it is useful as well.

5. Aggrivating but you might get used to it

I just got this on an upgrade, and it has been torture to set up and transfer files. Whats cool is it comes with software and the data cable. The OS is SLOWWWW! Sound is weak (LG 500 much louder!) It's heavier and the buttons are SMALL to navigate. I try to do one thing, and my finger hits another. Needless to say, i'm returning it.

good phone for a finaly be released US version of nokia's flagship smart phone OS. I am happy with it so far. Ohh and by the way learn the OS before posting that it dose not have POP3 support, its under messaging setup a e-mail box you can choose either pop or imap works perfect.

This phone has been awesom out of the box. As with all phones it is not perfect. But it is a Nokia Symbian phone. Which will equal excellent support and frequent firmware updates to address bugs. Love the phone!!!

10. S60 for Cingular...finally!!

Finally a great little S60 flip phone for Cingular.
Pros:
1. Great screen, one of the BEST i have ever used.
2. Sound quality is amazing thru the stereo speakers AND thru the earpiece.
3. Build quality. This phone is built like a vault.
4. UI. The User interface is excellent and a lot better than Windows Mobile platform.

Cons:
1. You must exit applications instead of just hitting back or closing the flip. If not you will run into memory problems.
