Handling
The E75 is a fairly long and narrow device when closed, making it very easy to grip. When the keyboard is revealed, it is well balanced and poses no problems for typing.
Portability
At 4.65" long, the E75 needs a bit of a longer pocket to conceal it fully. It's 1.97" wide when closed and weighs in at 4.9 ounces. It's not exactly a petite device, but it's not overly cumbersome. We've seen worse in devices like the T-Mobile G1 and Blackberry Storm.
Aesthetics
The E75 is not a pretty device. Intended for business users, it's not meant to be flashy or distractingly eye-catching, so it's busy yet functional face is not a surprise. It will be available in 3 colors - in black, red, and a color called copper yellow. We suppose the red is intended primarily for female users, but we admit we're not sure who the copper yellow color is meant for.
