The good: The Nokia E75 offers a compact design while managing to fit in a full QWERTY keyboard. The smartphone ships with Nokia's new messaging client, which features push delivery for all accounts. Other highlights include 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 3.2-megapixel camera.
The bad: The E75 is expensive. Call quality wasn't the best, and the dialpad on front is cramped.
The bottom line: The Nokia E75 is a nice alternative to the current crop of slate QWERTY messaging smartphones, offering a compact design without sacrificing the keyboard or e-mail capabilities. However, without carrier backing, the unlocked phone is a bit expensive.
Review:
Announced at GSMA 2009, the Nokia E75 is the latest Nokia E series smartphone to hit the market. Unlike the Nokia E71/E71x, the E75 features a more compact, cell-phone-like design, which is a welcome change from the recent deluge of slate QWERTY devices. In addition, the E75 includes the company's new Nokia Messaging application, which improves the mobile e-mail experience. Yet, despite the robust messaging capabilities, we were slightly disappointed in the call quality, and the unlocked phone costs around $530. However, if you crave the design, something that's lacking at most of the major carriers, the ... Expand full review

4.5 stars"Everything you can ask for in a smartphone" on June 17, 2009 by pip_kuruvilla (4 reviews)
Pros: 1. Slideout keyboard
2. Downloadable Maps - This allows you to use the maps on roaming without the fear of roaming charges
Cons: 1. Fragile. Don't let the steel casing fool you. If it falls, you can expect some hefty damages literally and figuratively
2. The Ovi suite, their accompanying desktop software is slick and intuitive but is lacking in power
Summary: Alll together a good phone featurewise. The slideout key board sold me. Nokia needs to work on the Ovi suite and the Symbian. A smartphone is only as good as the software that runs it... much like a computer

"A really great phone with many useful features" on June 17, 2009 by hagontoss (3 reviews)
Pros: Easy to use, nice and easy navigation through menus
QWERTY keyboard is superb
Good, sturdy design
Simple and reliable email/text/pic message system
Features
Cons: Software can be buggy
Insufficient internal memory fills up quickly, even if you use an SD card
Battery life isn't great (1 day or less)
Nokia's seemingly lack of support
Summary: My first mobile phone in 1998 was a Nokia, and I've hardly looked elsewhere since (except a BIG mistake trying out MetroPCS with an awful touchscreen Samsung!) Nokia phones have always been reliable, putting form with function nicely, and seeming to meet consumers' needs without going over-the-top with unnecessary ... Expand full review

"Bottom of face frame falls off easily, defective." on June 17, 2009 by TXCat (1 review)
Pros: I like the sliding keyboard.
Cons: Not sturdy..breaks under limited-use conditions. Warranty not honored.
Summary: I don't respect any company that does not honor it's warranty and implies that the consumer is responsible for product defect.
