Nokia E75 Review – Built for emailing
The Nokia E75 is the latest Nokia Smart phone and was announced at the mobile world congress. It is another member of the nokia e-series along with the Nokia E55 which is due out around the same time as the Nokia E75 and just before the Nokia E63 and Nokia E52. The Nokia E75 is about an average size for a smart phone being 14.4mm x 11.8mm x 50mm wide. When the E75 is open to display the QWERTY keyboard it becomes 80mm wide. The handset can be used in a horizontal or vertical position, obviously if you are typing a text message you would want to use the QWERTY keyboard so would therefore be using the E75 in a horizontal position. This E75 3G smartphone beauty comes in a choice of 3 colours, copper yellow, silver black or red, we have features the red casing in our pictures. There is a 2.4 inch screen using 16 million colours on a LCD display, not the biggest screen we have seen to date but perfectly fine and easy to use. The homesrceen can be customized to however you find it easiest to use the phone, there are 2 screen options supported. Navigating the menu on the Nokia E75 is easy by making use of the Navi™ key. Having the Navi™ key allows nokia to drastically reduce the number of keys on the handset because the user interface is intuitive, it will show options on the screen that are related in some way to what function on the E75 you are currently using. The majority of functions can therefore be activated by just pressing the Navi™ key, meaning less key required overall. The on board QWERTY keyboard slides out of the side of the nokia e75 and is great if you write a lot of text messages and emails, makes inputting text a lot quicker. This nokia phone is running using Symbian 9.3 operating system with S60 software. The joy of S60 software is that it is extendable and you can use multiple applications at the same time, without worrying about shutting down previous applications, this is limited by the hardware on your handset though. The E75 is a good sized smartphone which measures 111.8mm tall by 14.4mm deep which is 50mm wide when in its slide closed position & 80mm wide when in its slide open position. The one touch key on the Nokia E75 will allow you to use the calendar and email features with one touch, although that is fairly obvious by the name of the key!
Nokia have splashed out and included a stereo headset and 4 GB MicroSD™ memory card in the box, obviously you get a battery and charger as you would expect. There is a user guide included in the package and the internet if the guide makes no sense, as they won’t include any bugs with this.
Nokia E75 – Internet & Connectivity
Being quad band you will be able to use the Nokia E75 all over the world, 3G where available else it will switch to 2G. If you want to stay in touch with your business by email or internet then the E75 has Nokia web browsing, WI-FI, GPRS and HSDPA all of which will help you get speedy connection to the internet. The browser on the E75 support HTML, XHTML, WML and CSS, you don’t need to know what these technologies are to use them, it basically means most web pages will display correctly on the screen. Another great business tool would be the office document viewer, allowing you to view or send work documents instantly and a dedicated email key to sent messages with ease. You won't get lost on your way to a meeting with the AGPS and Nokia maps are built-in so you can keep one step ahead. Connecting to other compatible devices from the nokia E75 is easy with the USB connection, plus there is a cable provided with the phone. If you prefer to do this wirelessly then you could use Bluetooth® as long as the device you are trying to connect too also support Bluetooth®.
Nokia E75 – Messaging Services & camera
Keep in touch with message formats which could include SMS, MMS, Email, IM and text-to-speech reader. Don't miss a call as the Nokia E75 should cover quad-band GSM850/900/1800/1900 and dual-band WCDMA900/2100 so you should be able to use your phone in most countries. The Nokia E75 has been built with email in mind offering support for POP3, SMTP and Mail for exhange. Some other great features to be on the Nokia E75 are a 3.2 mega pixel camera with auto focus, LED flash and digital zoom, as well as a video recorder with Hi-resolution VGA and video streaming. If you like to listen to music when you travel there should be a Music player supporting formats such as MP3 and AAC as well as FM radio, Nokia podcast and windows media player. Customise Nokia E75 with a ringtone with polyphonic, MP3 or even video or talking ringtones. There are also some great application tools such as dual mode that lets you change between personal and work emails and you can have two home screens one for business and one for pleasure.
Nokia E75 – Gaming & Applications
The main application on the Nokia E75 is QuickOffice. This software allows you to create, edit and update Microsoft Office documents like text documents and Spreadsheets. It would be difficult and time consuming to use this software to create elaborate documents but it is perfectly fine for making the odd update while on the move. The applications included within the QuickOffice suite are Quickbook for text files, Quicksheet for spreadsheets and Quickpoint for your presentation files, in other words, powerpoint files. Many users will also be glad to here that support is provided for Zip files and PDF files. Recently I have received lots of emails with these file types attached and been unable to open them which is really annoying. You won’t have this problem on the Nokia E75 as ZIP manager and PDF viewer are installed on the E75.
Nokia E75 Review – Summary
We think the Nokia E75 has a great spec list and will be exceptional if you are a business user who is constantly emailing. You might not be a business user but really inot updating your profile on facebook or twitter, having the internet in your pocket with a QWERTY keyboard will make this really easy. The sim free price for this handset will be around the £500 mark, however it will be FREE on contract deals.
UPDATE:- Nokia have just released the Nokia N900 which is worth a look, there are some great Nokia N900 Deals to be had on Vodafone. Checkout other nokia reviews

Don't buy it 
This is the only Nokia phone that does not receive a signal in my house. The battery is forever running out even with very small useage. The features on the phone are good but if you do not get a signal they are pretty useless
Rating: out of 5.
Don't buy it Loose screws, toggle/cursor stopped working in portrait mode, dim screen and then 'moisture' damage voided warranty with still 8-months on contract.
Good whilst it lasted but poor resilience to normal everyday life
Rating: out of 5.
Don't buy it Had a few of these at work for 3 mths - All had to be returned.
Software is poor, set up is complicated but even when the IT guys managed that the crash out all the time.
Cant make phone calls whilst receiving emails or texts or the phone disconnects.
Way too complicated to be of any use

Don't buy it Had many Nokia phones over the years and always been a big fan.Just bought Nokia E 75 and easy to see why nokia are losing market share to competitors.
Does not want to sync to work e mail through MS Exchange server despite attempt by IT Dept over many hours to get it to work. Bluetooth only works when it fancies it. Very disappointed with phone and software all round.
Come on Nokia you can do better!!

Okay, but seen betterHad this handset for 3 days now and it seems to be good. I think i must have left the internet connection on all night because the battery was dead when i woke up the next morning.
The phone itself has many features including built in satnav.
It does have a lot of features though which can get complicated. Read the user guide and you'll be fine.

Okay, but seen betterIt is a very attractive phone, but e-mail set-up is a nightmare, battery life is very short when used frequently with Bluetooth connectivity (you could deplete the battery in half a day). Quickoffice seems nice but does a meager job, not being able to let you work with the majority of Excel files (files open completely blank) as for Office 2003 files. Reminders that would have appeared during a night shut off never come up again. The intuitive Nokia interface when trying to dial a contact has gone, meaning that selecting a contact from the list means pressing a lot more keys than ever before with a Nokia phone.
The keypad is flat with no distinguishable edge between two keys, meaning that you are very often pressing two keys simultaneously, or pressing the wrong key. very difficult to use.

Good mobile phoneHad this phone a week now and authough there are some unusual keys &positions of keys for a nokia phone letting it down the software has been good to date with good wireless connection and the e mails easy to set up.
It is also missing some good nokia features like using a number in a message and wont connect over bluetooth to a pc without having to accepting the connection every time ahhhhhhhhhhh

Don't buy it E75 big fat FAIL for Google services.
The hardware is beautiful, but the software stinks if all you want to do is synchronise Nokia's most advanced messaging phone to date with Google's email, contacts and calendar.
See the following for more information:

Or shorturl here if that link is broken over lines:

Can't comment about sync'ing with other services though, but as my company uses Google Apps, I'm going to have to return the E75 as not fit for advertised purpose if Nokia doesn't issue a fix soon.

Okay, but seen betterI was flying through Dubai and I saw a man using the E75. To me he seemed to be the very personification of the ideal user of the E75. An older gentleman, balding, wears reading glasses; still trying to be a little hip and absolutely hopeless in using the key pad on the E71.
The E75 is for all those people.
Plus, the phone's significantly slower than the e71, more buggy and the keyboard is a pain. On the e71, either thumb can reach any point or the keypad. Not so on the e75. Typing is actually slower.
I am going back to my e71 today and looking for an uncle to give the e75 as a birthday present to.

I WANT ONE!! The nokia E75 looks like a brilliant mobile phone, can't be any worse than the nokia n96 anyway. Is there any news on when the Nokia e75 will be released? If the release date for the e75 is in the next 6 months I will wait and not upgrade my phone now.

I WANT ONE!! its really good and as well the features are also hot
Rating: out of 5.
AverageI want this phone! I love Nokia but haven't had one in a few years because I like having a reasonably sized form factor with a qwerty keyboard and Nokia hasn't had one that I was aware of. The 6280 was my favorite phone of all time.
I have to admit the previous poster has a really good point though.
Rating: out of 5.
Okay, but seen betterNot good a design. The numeric pad wastes precious screen real estate. Here's what should happen. Take the E66. Make it slide sideways instead of the vertical slide. Change the keyboard to full QWERTY. Why? Screen real estate.
