Nokia N75 Review - Intro
The Nokia N75 is the first N-Series smart phone from Nokia to be sold by a U.S. carrier; it is available on AT&T (Cingular) for $199.99 (including a $50 mail-in rebate) with a 2 year contract, or $399 without contract. It arrives with high expectations, but fails to meet them in many areas. While the audio quality of the N75 is good, the quality of the built-in camera is very poor. Nokia has been known as one of the better phone camera manufacturers, but our tests showed that the N75's camera falls short in just about every key area; the images are low in resolution, have inaccurate color and had lots of noise in low light. The second major drawback of the N75 is the battery life. The N75's talk time of 2 hours and 23 minutes is one of the worst we have seen, and it's music playback and browsing times (at 5 hours 36 minutes and 2 hours 42 minutes) are not much better. These combined with limited RAM (which means that many applications are slow to respond) make the N75 a disappointment..
Under the hood the N75 runs Symbian Series 60, which includes excellent applications and opportunities for expansion through third party software. We like the Series 60 music player application, and the external controls and user interface provided on the N75 make this a decent mobile music playback device. In addition to being Nokia's first N-Series device to be carried by a U.S. carrier, the N75 is also Nokia's first phone to support AT&T's high speed 3G network, although it is limited to UMTS speeds rather than the even faster HSDPA. These are all solid features of the N75, but they don't make up for the poor camera quality and terrible battery life.
