Made from the quality materials one expects from Nokia Eseries, the Nokia E75 also ships with the Nokia Messaging service, which provides access to the world's top personal email services (including Gmail, Windows Live, and Yahoo!) as well as access to access to over 90 percent of the world's corporate inboxes via Nokia's corporate email clients, Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveler. It's ready to run on 3G networks here in the U.S. (850/1900 MHz UMTS/HSDPA), enabling fast downloads and streaming multimedia while on the go.

Enjoy access to all your email--personal and corporate--as well as text and instant messaging.

The E75 comes with a 4 GB MicroSD memory card, and it's compatible with optional cards up to 16 GB in size. You can connect to personal, corporate and hotspot networks via the integrated Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g) for browsing the Web and accessing files as well as connect to Voice over IP (VoIP) internet telephony services. And with the assisted GPS capabilities, you'll enjoy turn-by-turn navigation using the included Nokia Maps application (and a 3-month license). Other features include a 3.2-megapixel camera/camcorder, Bluetooth for handsfree devices and stereo music streaming, digital audio/video player, stereo FM radio, and up to 5.3 hours of talk time.

Unlocked Phone
This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides quad-band connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. This phone comes with a full manufacturer's warranty.

Additionally, this phone can be paired with 850/1900 MHz UMTS/HSDPA 3G networks in the United States (as well as 2100 MHz 3G networks found around the world, including in Europe and Asia). When paired with a compatible 3G network, you'll enjoy a high-speed connection offering a variety of feature-rich wireless services--from data connectivity to your office to multimedia streaming, and take advantage of simultaneous voice and data services. In areas not served by a 3G network, you'll continue to receive data service via EDGE network (depending on network compatibility).

Phone Features
The Nokia E75 has a 2.4-inch active matrix TFT LCD screen (320 x 240 pixels) with support for 16 million colors, providing excellent depth when reviewing photos or watching videos. The face of the phone includes a standard alpha-numeric keypad as well as a five-way navigation pad, soft navigation keys, and send/end keys. Additionally, it has dedicated home, calendar and email one-touch keys. When you need to compose a text message or longer email, the full QWERTY keyboard slides out of the left side of the phone and the screen automatically rotates.

With this latest Eseries device, you'll no longer need to boot up a PC to get a full desktop email experience. The enhanced email UI includes folder and HTML email support, expandable views and sorting capability by date, sender and size, as well as the most commonly used email functions just a single click away. On top of email, the E75 also offers improved calendar capability--features such as the ability to create and respond to meeting requests--as well as contacts and task management.

The E75 features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 3.2-megapixel camera/camcorder, Bluetooth stereo music streaming, and MicroSD memory expansion to 16 GB (a 4 GB card is included with this package).

The Nokia E75 comes fully equipped for easy-to-install and easy-to-use professional and personal email. People who use Microsoft Exchange at work can access their email using the Mail for Exchange mobile email client, which comes pre-loaded. You'll enjoy reliable real-time access to your email, calendar, contacts and tasks, as well as be able to download attachments like Word, Excel, Powerpoint or PDF files directly to the device.

Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This phone also provides Bluetooth wireless connectivity (version 2.0), and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and file transfer. With the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can stream your music to a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great phone, weird wired headset, May 14, 2009

This review is from: Nokia E75 Unlocked Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, Media Player, and 4 GB MicroSD Card--U.S. Version with Warranty (Silver Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I have had the phone for over 24 hours so far. Great phone. Good sound, good voice, fast O.S. Good signal reception all around, though in N. NJ that is not really a problem.

I charged it initially at home with the included AC charger, and at the office hooked it up with the included USB cable and saw the phone charging while I was playing with it and synching up my calendar.

I swapped my SIM card from the old phone, (HTC Hermes/ATT 8525), to this one and it worked right away. ATT mediaNet needed no configuration even though I had only added data/texting to my account from online only minutes before. WiFi works well in my home. This is my first time using ATT MediaNet so I can't really comment, but it helped me compare prices on a microwave oven from inside a store. Amazon got an order for a microwave once I got home and I saved over $50. It is nice not hunting for a WiFi signal as I used to do. Glad I finally succumbed to paying for ATT's service. I am not comfortable with Nokias included browser yet, but it seems to work well. I may try Opera.

I can work with office documents and synch up with my outlook calender faster than I could with my old HTC/ATT Win 6.1 smart phone. Nokia PC Suit is leagues ahead of MS Active Synch, and puts Motorola's software to the shame it deserves.

Folks that play with it are amazed at how fast the phone responds when selecting applications. Instant response instead of a second or so wait as many Windows based phones have.

The one issue I have had is I can not get the included headset to work properly as a headset. I suspect it is intended as just a music headset, but no matter what I do I can not get loud enough sound out of it, and the manual has no mention of it other than showing where to plug it in. When you attach the headset the phone asks what you want to use it as. Whether I select headset or headphones it does not seem to work well. The phone will warn you to use the phone mic. I recommend getting a better headset/headphones when you buy the phone, I am doing that right after I post this. Maybe with more use I can sort it out. I only tested it by calling my office voice mail, since I did not want to annoy friends and family by making them guinea pigs.

This brings up the 3.5 mm jack the phone has. I am often on support calls. Sometimes for hours at a time. (Yes, I am an I.T. peon). I did not consider this when thinking about the phone, but there are NO standard headsets that use 3.5 jacks that I can find, they almost all use 2.5. The headsets that do use 3.5 are either iPhone style earbuds, which I find very uncomfortable, or ones intended for PC gaming, which use TWO plugs and are not usable on a phone. Not an over-the-ear one in the bunch. So I am stuck using bluetooth, which loses power fast and can't last long anough, or getting a clunky adapter so I can use a standard 2.5 mm headset, or trying an iphone earbud style headset that has the microphone in the wire, not on a boom, which has poor voice quality compared to a boom and hurts my ears after a few minutes. Slightly disappointing.

I do like having the hidden qwerty keyboard, as I did with my prior phone, so that it is there when needed for documents, email, texting etc, but out of the way otherwise. Someday I may try a tablet-style phone, like the E71 or a blackberry, but this works well for me.

One big reason I got this phone is the number pad for dialing. While touch screens are nice, having them as the only interface to the phone is a mistake.If you need to dial a number fast, such as 911, it can be very tough to do. Number pads are better, and if the primary use of the phone is as, well, a PHONE, it makes sense. It fits easily into my shirt pocket. I do not need to hang it on my belt and feel like Batman as I would with a tablet PDA.

But touch screens are useful. I think this phone would benefit from one for navigating the menus, it would probably be faster than using the various keys. The screen could be larger, there would be room to extend it if Nokia moved the logo from the top of the phone.

There is a lot left to play with on this, like the multiple profiles, etc. So there is still more to learn on this.

But all-in-all, even with the headset issue, this is the best phone I have had yet, whether smart-phone or not. If this is an indication of where Nokia is going, they are going in the right direction.

5.0 out of 5 stars E Series Style in a Great Slider Package, May 22, 2009

By 

Jared (Salem, OR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nokia E75 Unlocked Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, Media Player, and 4 GB MicroSD Card--U.S. Version with Warranty (Silver Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

With the incarnation of the E75, Nokia successfully continues the E series ideology of enterprise-oriented phones while supporting a balance of personal life and entertainment.

The E75 is the first QWERTY slider into the E series, yet maintains a pleasant thinness. It is not as thin as the E71, but Nokia is fitting quite a bit of hardware into this thin slider body. Nevertheless, the E75 is solidly built and maintains a great feel while being held open or closed.

The QWERTY keyboard featured on the E75 is huge. Coming from a narrower brick QWERTY, the jump to such a wider keyboard is impressive and helps make typing out messages on a phone less of a chore. Those who may have bigger fingers may appreciate the larger keys as featured on the E75. Unlike the E71 the E75 contains a dedicated Ctrl key, the E71's key only being a secondary function. This dedicated key makes tasks like copying and pasting even easier.

Response time from this phone is pleasing - loading applications is fairly quick, and any seldom noticeable lag is minimal. Multitasking is rather simple, and having a couple applications simultaneously open does not significantly impact the phone's performance.

Symbian S60 3rd with Feature Pack 2 is the operating system powering the E75. Search contacts directly from the home screen is a valued feature - as the name of a contact is typed (even from the keypad), results are quickly displayed above providing shortcuts to call or message the contact. Mail setup is a breeze and supports Exchange, and using the mail application is very easy and intuitive. The home screen is highly customizable, and the switching between work and personal modes makes the interface even more flexible.

Other benefits of the E75 are its wide range of connectivity - HSDPA, 802.11b/g, GPS, Bluetooth, etc. Additionally, the phone's video record mode supports a VGA resolution at 30fps. The phone also comes included with a 4GB microSD card and the slot is external. Surprising was the quality of the included earbuds/mic - they aren't the best quality on the market, but for included earbuds they are actually nice. A full 3.5mm audio jack is also onboard, opposed to 2.5mm. Additionally, the E75 can charge over USB, though not as fast as the provided adapter.

While the keyboard of the E75 brings advantages there are some drawbacks, though these are relatively minor. Because the keyboard is so wide, it can take a few uses to get accommodated to the width - anyone used to a brick QWERTY will need to get accustomed to reaching further with their thumbs. Unfortunately, there is no double quote character on the keyboard, not even as a second function. Instead, the double quote character must be accessed through the Character key. The absence of a left Ctrl key makes moving the cursor over by word practically impossible - both the ctrl key and directional pad are on the right side. The keyboard could also have benefitted by finger finders to help assist with positioning, though this isn't a serious problem.

The keys on the keypad seem a bit small, and this could hinder some accuracy when working with the phone at a quick pace. However, to accommodate the E75's screen and physical size the keys had to be sized as they are. While it would have been nice to have a larger screen, it really wouldn't be possible to accommodate one with the face keypad. The N97 is Nokia's full-face screen model (lacking the dedicated keypad), and as such supports touch. The glossy face on the E75 means it is a fingerprint magnet - both keypad and screen. Be prepared to frequently wipe off prints.

There are some mediocre aspects to the E75. The battery is only 1000mAh, which will allow for about a full day of fairly heavy use. However, for light to medium use the battery should last a few days before needing a charge. Thankfully, Nokia included the charge over USB option in this phone. Additionally, the camera quality of the E75 is nothing special. And while the Nokia browser has been improved upon and supports Flash, it could use some more improvements in navigation and viewing.

The perceived drawbacks to the E75 are essentially nitpicks however. This phone has a number of positive aspects that make it very solid and a pleasure to use. Nokia's E75 is an adequate powerhouse, fully capable of accommodating the aspects of an E series mobile lifestyle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally love it!!!, June 7, 2009

By 

Winston Koh (Los Altos, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nokia E75 Unlocked Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, Media Player, and 4 GB MicroSD Card--U.S. Version with Warranty (Silver Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

All I can say is WOW!! I am totally impressed with it and believed that Nokia has come up with a winning product. I just owned this baby for less than a week but has already become addicted to it. Prior to buying e75, I have done research on various high-end phones on iphone, blackberrry, sony and even various other Nokia E-series and N-series phones and have also read almost all existing E75 cell-phone reviews on the web. Though there are mixed reviews on it, I decided to take the plunge and purchased it. Couldn't be happier with my purchase. It is definitely one of my best investments for the year, can't say the same for my other investments I have made :)

===PROS
1)Great great looks. stunning design. It is a really beautiful phone. I really liked a candy shaped smartphone that looks like a regular cellphone. Most of the powerful highend smartphone are much wider and have a bulky look. e75 has great dimensions and could easily fit inside a jeans pocket. great! The slide-out full-sized qwerty keypad is simply addictive! it is very easy to use, good-sized keys, slider makes a solid "thud" when opening and closing. amazing style and quality. love it!

2)Amazing usability. In the first day, I already set up my email accounts(in a few simple clicks), browse the web, listening to both FM and internet radio, subscribe to podcasts, view office documents, download some latest apps from Nokia ovi store and use GPS as a tour guide. it is just so intuitive that I doubt you will need the guidebook and web reviews to guide you through using *any* features.

3)Great build quality. It has a nice weight on it and feels like you are definitely holding something "substantial". I read about various people getting leaky keypad and such. No such issue with mine. As I said before, the sliding keypad feels very solid and snapping back and forth feels very secure with no loose ends. The silver-black and chrome combination makes e75 looks very upscale and all the keys are well-placed and very responsive. Some people are complaining about screen-size too small, qwerty layout hard to adjust etc. I find the screen size very sufficient to read email, browse documents and web. It is extremely sharp and is readable under bright sunlight and qwerty keypad works great. Can type out a long email in no time. Besides it also have a set of regular keys in front so you could do one-hand messaging as well. perfect!

4)Good offering of applications. Web and office documents browsing and editing, great media player, easy to use GPS system makes it a fun-filled power business smartphone. A word about audio quality. The loudspeaker may not be as loud as someone likes but it is no worse than the samsung and motorola that I used to own. Call quality is superb. Reception is very good.

===CONS
1)Well, someone can quip about screen being too small, camera not being 5MP, screen not being the sharpest around, symbian too outdated, audio quality subpar, no touchscreen etc etc. but the ONLY complain that I think is valid and a very serious concern is the extensibility which may be what is stopping iphone users from crossing over. blame it on the App Store. Iphone is amazing not only because of its physical form and touch screen intuitiveness but on its amazing array of 3rd party applications. Sad to say, Nokia much touted ovi-store where we could purchase applications fall short, WAY short. I have browsed around for further-addon apps, very less offering and many are not free. well, even if they are free, i am not so sure i wanted them on. Don't even get me started on their Ngame platform. The games offering is simply pathetic. This lack of extensibility maybe crippling Nokia in the future where customers are very savvy and demanding and they want cellphones that have a long lifecycle and full of applications of anything imaginable not just what is offered by the manufacturer.

2)A quick word about battery life. It really is pretty lousy, just as stated by various e75 review articles. You do need to charge it daily.

3)I hate to state the obvious but the price tag is pretty hefty considering it didn't really offer any earth-shattering features that are not currently on the market or any out-of-the-world design.

All in all, I am extremely happy with my purchase. As long as you are aware of the limiting factors, e75 is an extremely well-rounded smartphone with great style and substance. Nokia E75 is everything that a business person would want and need plus much more.

** I recently run into a refresh bug where my screen keeps on refreshing itself indefinitely. You may trigger this bug when your phone is running out of battery, and while recharging, you press on your email icon. I think the auto-syncing of email go crazy when dealing with this particular usecase. You don't have to send the phone back to manufacturer or even reset your phone, there is a nifty solution where you just have to press Control Panel->Settings->General->Personalization->HomeScreenMode->ModeSettings->Email Notifications->Disable then restart your phone. Your beloved phone will be functioning again. Hope that helps!
