 Avoid! July 28, 2008
Many reviewers list pros, but my personal feeling is that the cons far outway any of these. Here is list of the problems:
1) While some of the keys are large, the navigation ones are small and hard to press.
2) Non-intuitive interface, very hard to navigate and find what you are looking for
3) Battery meter goes from almost full to dead within a few minutes
4) Large and bulky without redeeming features, most of the size is taken by the keypad.
5) Horrible miserable camera
Being the no 1 cell phone manufacturer seems to be corrupting Nokia. Their phones used to be solid, clean, easy to use. You could not go wrong with choosing them. Alas, this is a miserable device, which (if it ever pretends to) can not dream of competing with the iPhone.
Beware of the hinge. July 25, 2008
I purchased this phone new through AT&T. It has functioned flawlessly for as long as I have owned it, with one big exception.
Pros:
Good responsiveness.
You can open a number of PC file formats.
You can synch contacts and a number of other things with your PC easily with included software.
The PC software works well with Windows XP and it seems like quality software.
Bluetooth works flawlessly.
Memory expandable.
Cons:
MP3 playback/organization, etc, is not the best, but it is survivable.
Do you expect to be able to flip it open? Good luck with yours, my hinge lasted approximately 6 months, and this appears to be a known issue (although Nokia/ATT do not seem to consider it a design flaw, but I'm just starting the repair process now - we'll see).
Update:
They will not fix the broken hinge without charging. You may as well get a new phone for the price they are asking. Anyway, I replaced mine with a Blackberry, and the Blackberry's battery lasts several days more than the N75's.
Many Flaws but Good Style July 21, 2008
I have this phone for past 3 months. I have some weakness for flap phones and this was best available for free after signing 2 years contract. I was happy to see it when I received it but after 3 months I came across many flaws some are related to design and other related to software which makes it so annoying at many times. I ignored others reviews when I was buying it but I think people shouldnt make the same mistake as others did.. Thats why for the first time I am writing a review on Amazon for this product. there are certain things which I are terribly annoying and specific to this particular phone as I had many other models of Nokia and other companies but never had the type of problems which I faced with this one..
1) This phone many times doesnt play the ringtone when you have an incoming call. So you have to keep it on vibration always .. You are going to miss the call if you are in some party or traveling..
2) Response time from keypad sound and typing of any Unknown number you want to call is terribly big.. It just annoys me and I clicked off keypad sound which I would have kept otherwise.
3) Now screen of this crappy mobile goes off when i disconnect any call because of this I cant redial or connect another call unless I close the flap. Its damn annoying when you get a call waiting and want that person to be on hold..
4) The option of keeping different ring tones for different persons doesnt work with this phone as it doesnt play ringtones many times and if at all it plays them than it plays some other tone..
5) Its so difficult to attach handsfree or music headphone to the mobile.. you will always feel that you will break some other delicate part while connecting them.. if you want to buy this mobile and listen to music thn you should have bluetooth headphone..
There are some positives..
1) Sound quality is impressive
2) Camera works fine
3) style is good
I would recommend against buying this phone.. Its damn annoying at times.. well make your own decision..
 First and Last Nokia Flip Phone July 9, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
N75-All of the reviews I have read have been right on. I really liked this phone. It does alot. However I am now 16 months into a 24 month contract and this phone has not held up. It has never been dropped and always been in a protected case. I am a Nokia Fan. Every phone I have ever had has been a nokia (about 6 of them now). However, they have all also been candybar phones. The only draw back to this phone is that the "flip hinges are cheap" they will crack and break as mine are. Currently, mine elecrical taped together trying to wait out my contract so that I can get another phone. This time probably a Nokia 4300. Smart phone...smart of me to not get another flip phone ever. I wouldn't discourage someone from getting this phone. The features are great. Just don't buy it if you are not gentle on your phone. It wont last.
This IS a bad phone! June 28, 2008
I'm glad it wasn't only me who dislike the phone!!
1) SOOOO SLOW! There have been many situations where I had to reply to someone immediately (both phone and text) but the phone didn't respond quick enough. It has such a weird delayed reaction! I'm talking delayed as in up to 30secs!
2)Freezes. A LOT.
3)Just plain ugly. I went from Razr to this. The phone seemed so thick! And did I mention it's ugly?
4)Buttons on front get pushed accidentally while in backpack. I'm not sure if there is a way to lock the three front keys, but I never figured out how to. The phone comes with this weird song, and that song would play when the middle front button was pushed. Almost got my phone taken away at school many times.
