Nokia e75

The new addition to the E-series has a full side-sliding QWERTY keyboard. This is a form-factor widely available in HTC smartphones but not something typical for Nokia. Other features include GPS navigation, 3.2-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth and microSDHC card slot.

The good stuff: 3.6Mbit HSDPA, aGPS with integrated Nokia Maps, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, FM tuner, a microSDHC expansion slot and a neat dual home screen designed to be setup for work and personal profiles. On top of this there's a 3.5mm headphone jack (everyone seems to have the message now), while the design is also undeniably swish and features a full sliding Qwerty keyboard.

The bad stuff: a rather squitty screen at just 2.4 inches and featuring an oh-so-2007 QVGA resolution doesn't really make this an ideal smartphone. The QVGA 30fps video recording is also fairly hum drum (unless you're an iPhone owner, in which case it's a lusted after fantasy extra) and a meh-ish 3.2MP camera (again ditto for our fellow iPhone owners).

the E75 is the first Nokia with a slide out keyboard, it seems big and comfortable to type long emails and documents, the E75 also has other strong points like the 3.5mm Audio Jack, the N-Gage support, improved E-Mail client and specially the excellent and strong built quality that the E75 was blessed with. But there is one thing that I don’t really like about the E75 and that is the tiny 2.4” screen, I think that a 2.4” screen is just too small for such a device, a 2.6” OLED display would have been perfect for the E75.
