Nokia’s first US 3G phone, in fact Nokia’s first US flip smart phone, and AT&T’s first 3G Symbian OS phone, the glamorous Nokia N75 has been the subject of many hopes and dreams in the seven months since it was first announced. It’s beautiful and powerful to be sure, but poor battery life makes me worry you won’t be able to get the use you want out of it. N75 measures 7 inches long, so the mouthpiece extends down quite a bit when you’re talking on the phone. We also thought that the front flap felt too pliable when held up against the ear. It’s not so bad that we think it’ll snap off its hinge, but it is something we noticed during our test period. On the upside, the handset features a soft-touch finish that makes the phone easy to grip.
With its matte blacks and dull silvers, the N75 isn’t much to look at. The frame is flat and blocky (view our photo gallery). On the front of the closed clamshell, you’ll find a color LCD with playback buttons for the music player. Along the right edge are volume controls, camera and music mode buttons, and an IR receiver. The left edge sports a Nokia power dock. We were disappointed to find neither a standard USB port nor a 3.5mm headphone jack, but that’s typical for Nokia phones. A microSD Card slot on the phone’s left side holds more music, music, photos, or Symbian OS applications.
On the right side of the N75 are the volume rocker, the camera shutter button, and a multi-purpose media button that changes modes of the video and music player when the device is closed, and loads the media gallery when the device is open. The Nokia pop port USB/headset connector is located on the left side of the N75, along with the microSD expansion card slot. Both have secure, attached covers on them. The mini Nokia charger socket is located between them. A very small power button is located next to the hinge on the silver part of the device.
