NOKIA E75

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)

Doing business would be quite an uphill battle without cell phones or the services that the Internet offers. There are many mobile devices these days that deliver a growing number of functions, previously available on computers only. It´s been a while since you needed a mouse and keyboard to check your emails or enter the Web and read the breaking news. You can do all that with most of the cell phones today.

There is a make to fit virtually any customer, no matter if they are high-tech buffs, fashion-obsessed savvies or, as in this specific case, business-minded people.

Today, we are bringing the Nokia E75 to your attention. The Nokia E75 has been heavily influenced by the experience they gained with their Communicator series. The phone sports a side sliding, full-fledged QWERTY keyboard and that´s a novelty feature on an “E” device. As you have probably guessed already, it is a high-end device that offers Wi-Fi, A-GPS, HSDPA and 3.2-megapixel LED flash camera that offers Macro shooting mode.

Display and Camera

Nokia E75 features a 2.4-inch TFT display (240x320 pixel resolution) that supports 16 million colors. As usual, the colors, the contrast, as well as the quality of the image displayed are flawless. Add to that perfect sunlight eligibility and you get an excellent display that can meet any user’s expectations. It would've been really the best if it was a little bit larger. The display also features an accelerometer function, but bear in mind that this function must be activated in order to work. Unfortunately, there's no protection against scratches for this screen, so you should be careful where you keep it.

Menu and Software

Nokia E75 runs the Symbian 9.3 operating system, with a S60 3rd Edition and Feature Pack 2 interface. This is the third phone to include Feature Pack 2, but the first to include all the features of the pack. The pack brings both visual and performance improvements that otherwise wouldn't be available for devices that only run Feature Pack 1. Besides the amazing Gallery with the geotagging feature, you'll get a new kind of Active standby layout. The latter enables you to bring up on the Home screen a lot more shortcuts than usual, such as game, application and link shortcuts.

The new Task manager is also a specific FP2 improvement, and gives you quick access to any application running in the background. The Task manager now appears on top of every menu option that you open. Moreover, you will now be able to select a Talking theme for the slider, which will, well, speak to you every time you enter a new menu or open an application. It will also give you extra details about that function or application, which is more than helpful for first-time users of Symbian OS.

The main menu can be accessed by pressing the special Home icon key, placed on the left side of the D-pad controller. In addition to the usual options and applications that we find in almost all Symbian-powered handsets, Nokia E75 features Search and Maps utilities. Maps is used together with the GPS receiver and enables you to employ Nokia maps, localization and directions when you're on the go. Lots of maps can be downloaded from Nokia's website and then used to pick the shortest route from one point to another. In fact, the phone comes with three months of free voice-guided navigation and some local maps.

The integrated accelerometer for auto-rotate works like a charm, even in main menus of the phone. The phone includes everything a user may need on the road or at the office, pre-installed on the handset: email, web, calendar, organizer, IM, office tools, messaging, application manager, connectivity wizard, synchronization tools, GPS navigator, themes, profiles, and more. The email is an important category, so it has received an icon and can be accessed from the main menu.

Communications

Nokia E75 is a quad-band GSM (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900) handset, HSDPA-compatible, which features GPRS class 32 (107 kbps), EDGE 32 class (296 kbps), High-Speed Circuit-Switched Data (57.6 kbps) and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g UPnP. Tested on the EDGE and 3G networks, the phone has performed amazingly good, as you can see from the screenshots. I can only compare it to Nokia N95 8GB or E51 in terms of HSDPA speed, but E75 is even better this time.
