Nokia N75 Reviews
PDAstreet reviews the Nokia N75 and writes;
“Call quality was reliably good in our testing in the New York City area, although we weren’t impressed by the 3G connection speed. It didn’t feel like a 3G connection most of the time. While the battery is rated for 4.2 hours of talk time and 200 hours of standby, we didn’t get that in our testing. Worse, the battery drains suddenly, so keep an eye on the level.”

CrunchGear reviews the Nokia N75 and writes;
“The N75 also felt like it would snap at the hinge if you applied any sort of pressure, which it will, so try not to do it. The talk-time was pretty disappointing and not even close to the four hours of talk-time it claims. I got a smidge over two hours from a single charge. That’s terrible, but we’ll blame it on the 3G network.”

MobileTechReview reviews the Nokia N75 and writes;
“While the N75 doesn’t earn our outright love, it still gets a positive nod. The good features outweigh the bad, and indeed there are many good features like the fantastic display, easy to use S60 interface and software, good music playback quality and features, Cingular Video support, excellent voice quality and good call volume, strong speakerphone and 2MP camera. It’s a smartphone that’s easy to use and sync and it has good multimedia skills.”

LaptopMag reviews the Nokia N75 and writes;
“During our week of testing, voice quality was superb on AT&T’s network, with no echoes or muffling. Just be sure to take the charger with you on that a weekend; we had to juice our N75 every two days with medium voice and data use. The Nokia N75 is a decent phone and an average music player, but it’s too bulky given the feature set. If you prefer a flip phone, get the LG VX8700, which also sports a 2-MP camera but is much sleeker and costs $20 less. And if you want a true smart phone with multimedia chops, buy the Samsung BlackJack”

“The speakers are tooth-sized, but super loud. And the camera needs a lens cover, because when it get dirty, shots end up looking terrible. But clean 2mp shots are great, if not a little grainy compared with a full digicam. Best results occur when you’re using the shot mode, white balance, or flash… Overall, good job Cingular for not messing up a good thing. I highly recommend this phone. ”

PCMag reviews the Nokia N75 and writes;
“Well time isn’t on your side, my friend. The N75’s battery life is pathetic. The two hours, 21 minutes of talk time I got in my tests (and I did them twice, to make sure) might be the worst I’ve ever seen… I want to like this phone. But without sufficient battery life, and with the headphone and network speed restrictions, it’ll leave you unhappy at the end of the day. I’d recommend the Samsung Sync for music and 3G fans instead (though it, too, has an oddball headphone jack), and the Nokia N73 for folks looking for a stylish Symbian camera phone. ”

InfoSyncworld reviews the Nokia N75 and writes;
“Had Nokia originally positioned this phone as the low-end N-series model, we wouldn’t have been so inclined to compare it to the N95, a phone that recently impressed us a great deal. It has some good calling and messaging features, and the Symbian OS has a wide range of available apps, but the phone disappoints in areas where N-series phones usually shine, especially with its camera. The phone has some nice smartphone features built in, but at $200 on AT&T, we can’t see this phone as a competitor on AT&T’s 3G lineup. The BlackJack is $50 less, and the RAZR V3xx is a quarter of the price. Hopefully, AT&T will start selling (and subsidizing) the N95, and maybe add a local 3G band for good measure.”
