The
Nokia E75 is more than a slider version of the
Nokia E71 (or
Nokia E71x on AT&T). Many of the problems we had with the latter phone have been worked out, leaving us with a more polished and pleasant device. In fact, the
Nokia E75 is our new favorite among
Nokia's Eseries business phones, and it's one of the best business-focused phones on the market. For features and productivity software, the
E75 can't be beat, with advanced Office editing tools that beat similar
Windows Mobile devices, and a better Web browser, camera and multimedia kit than most BlackBerry phones. The design is slim and solid, and we think it will appeal to buyers who don't want an obtrusive
QWERTY slab up front, but would rather have a stylish phone with a hidden, sliding keyboard. Plus, the keyboard itself is wide and comfortable to use. The aging
Symbian S60 interface drags the phone down a bit, and some of the signature features, like the Business / Personal switch, didn't live up to our expectations. Still, we think this phone should have appeal beyond the unlocked market, and serious business users tired of the same old touchscreen tablet or QWERTY slab would do well to give this phone a look. Release: May 2009.
Price: $275.
Nokia 75 strongly resembles
E71 in terms of technical features, its design can only be compared with
E51's. In fact, you could say that this is
E51's younger brother, as they look much the same, except that the
E75 is a little bit thicker, because of the QWERTY keyboard that has been attached to its back. At first glance,
E75 may look as a standard candy-bar phone, as the keyboard doesn't make it bulky at all. Measuring 111.8 x 50 x 14.4 mm and weighing 139g (including battery),
Nokia E75 feels excellent in hand and fits perfectly in any pocket. The metallic back cover gives it an exquisite and stylish aura, which is a little bit faded by the cheap glossy plastic on the front part. This seems to be the same plastic as that of
Nokia's N96 and
N78 smartphones, which means that it will be a fingerprint magnet.
