Nokia N75 the latest entry in Nokia N series which is a flip phone with very good features such premium voice quality and dam fast 3G data speeds, and very good design quirks makes N75 a very good “multimedia computer”. Features like music playback and Cingular Video and are looking great with the external music-player controls and LCD. However, there are some key features that are lacking for such a price ($199).

Coming to looks N75 comes with dull silvers and matte blacks, so there is nothing much to look at in terms of look. You will also find color LCD with play buttons for the music player on front. On along with the right side edge there are volume controls, camera and music mode buttons. While the left side edge has a Nokia power dock. However we can’t find a standard USB port and also 3.5mm headphone jack. For holding more music, photos there is a microSD Card slot on left side.

You will find a small black power button on top. On backs side there is removable battery with two-mega pixel camera with flash. There is large 2.4-inch color display on opening the clamshell, keypad, and dial-pad buttons. The dial pad is larger enough and gives an overall good feel to your hands.

The main feature that N75 has is its Web surfing and 3G data speeds which is its main selling point. For surfing you will find the MEdia Net browser for formatted pages, also when you go to tools menu there is Nokia’s own browser can be used for unformatted pages. One of the good things I like is that heavy content pages like Google News loaded in five seconds. Even heavy video which usually takes much time buffered very quickly in about 3 to 5 seconds.

I love the Music playback on the N75. Media player can handle all types of music files like, MP3, M4A, and AAC. Yes you ca not download songs directly rather you can connect to your PC to download any type of music. Nokia’s N75 also have XM Radio Mobile and MobiRadio both will cost you $8.99 per month. Sound is good and crystal clear from both.

We disappointed to see the lack of support given for stereo Bluetooth and standard 3.5mm wired headsets.

2-Mega pixel camera is good enough to capture photos with quality. There are many features for setting the right shot like scene modes, exposure. N75 also records smooth and quality looking videos; we found some times we could not play our videos because we were to close some applications as memory were full, yes our video was successfully stored in memory.

Overall and technically, we can say N75 is a smart phone and good one to have it in your pocket. You can also access to IMAP and POP3 e-mails, synchronize your contacts and also Word, Excel, and PowerPoint attachments are easily viewed. We really like the voice quality.

PROS:
* Good looking keypads
* Crystal clear and smooth calls.
* Good music player.
* Very Good Web Surfing
CONS:
* Camera is average
* Battery is Poor
* No stereo Bluetooth

The Nokia N75 is a good phone with a decent music player. But it is too bulky given the features. N75 scores best on its very good multimedia abilities.
