 In a word - UNRELIABLE! August 18, 2008
I've had 3 of these phones (all new) and have the same problem with all 3 - they turn themselves off with no warning. None of the phones had been dropped, there has been nothing downloaded or any 3rd party applications installed on any of them, yet all three have done the same thing. I've had these phones on my desk, untouched, and had them power themselves down. I've missed emergency calls becuase my phone was off and I didn't realize it, and I've missed other calls (for the same reason) that have caused all kinds of problems... What good are fancy features if the phone is unreliable?
Nokia says it's probably an issue with AT&T's software/firmware. AT&T just wants to keep replacing the (new) phones with rebuilt ones..... just how many of these are you supposed to go through? I'm through spending hours on the phone with AT&T trying to get them to replace these phones with a different model. I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and cough up the cash for new phones at retail, then wait for my AT&T contract to expire so I can move on to another service provider.
By the way - I've been with Cingular/AT&T for 10+ years and have never had a problem until I got the N75. But after several major go-rounds with AT&T over theses phones, I'm as disgusted, frustrated, and fed up with them as I am with the N75s - what good are either one of them if you can't rely on them?
Stay away from this model, especially if you have AT&T service - save yourself the hassle.
 Defective Hinge August 1, 2008
Within the first month of owning the phone I dropped it in my house (NOT hard floor). No crack or scratch was there.
Weeks letter a crack started forming and eventually the hinge was coming apart.
As I researched online I discovered this is quite normal. It happens often and Nokia says it's customer abuse.
Not true because I know how to ABUSE a phone LOL, and I never abused this phone.
Obviously they would not fix mine, nor would Cingular.
I am very disappointed because it had great features, great ringtone etc...and I had to glue it 2 continue using it.
Do not get this phone, research online and you will find many others who have had this problem with the hinge and Nokia refuses to admit it's theire problem.
Avoid! July 28, 2008
Many reviewers list pros, but my personal feeling is that the cons far outway any of these. Here is list of the problems:
1) While some of the keys are large, the navigation ones are small and hard to press.
2) Non-intuitive interface, very hard to navigate and find what you are looking for
3) Battery meter goes from almost full to dead within a few minutes
4) Large and bulky without redeeming features, most of the size is taken by the keypad.
5) Horrible miserable camera
Being the no 1 cell phone manufacturer seems to be corrupting Nokia. Their phones used to be solid, clean, easy to use. You could not go wrong with choosing them. Alas, this is a miserable device, which (if it ever pretends to) can not dream of competing with the iPhone.
Beware of the hinge. July 25, 2008
I purchased this phone new through AT&T. It has functioned flawlessly for as long as I have owned it, with one big exception.
Pros:
Good responsiveness.
You can open a number of PC file formats.
You can synch contacts and a number of other things with your PC easily with included software.
The PC software works well with Windows XP and it seems like quality software.
Bluetooth works flawlessly.
Memory expandable.
Cons:
MP3 playback/organization, etc, is not the best, but it is survivable.
Do you expect to be able to flip it open? Good luck with yours, my hinge lasted approximately 6 months, and this appears to be a known issue (although Nokia/ATT do not seem to consider it a design flaw, but I'm just starting the repair process now - we'll see).
Many Flaws but Good Style July 21, 2008
I have this phone for past 3 months. I have some weakness for flap phones and this was best available for free after signing 2 years contract. I was happy to see it when I received it but after 3 months I came across many flaws some are related to design and other related to software which makes it so annoying at many times. I ignored others reviews when I was buying it but I think people shouldnt make the same mistake as others did.. Thats why for the first time I am writing a review on Amazon for this product. there are certain things which I are terribly annoying and specific to this particular phone as I had many other models of Nokia and other companies but never had the type of problems which I faced with this one..
1) This phone many times doesnt play the ringtone when you have an incoming call. So you have to keep it on vibration always .. You are going to miss the call if you are in some party or traveling..
2) Response time from keypad sound and typing of any Unknown number you want to call is terribly big.. It just annoys me and I clicked off keypad sound which I would have kept otherwise.
3) Now screen of this crappy mobile goes off when i disconnect any call because of this I cant redial or connect another call unless I close the flap. Its damn annoying when you get a call waiting and want that person to be on hold..
4) The option of keeping different ring tones for different persons doesnt work with this phone as it doesnt play ringtones many times and if at all it plays them than it plays some other tone..
5) Its so difficult to attach handsfree or music headphone to the mobile.. you will always feel that you will break some other delicate part while connecting them.. if you want to buy this mobile and listen to music thn you should have bluetooth headphone..
There are some positives..
1) Sound quality is impressive
2) Camera works fine
3) style is good
I would recommend against buying this phone.. Its damn annoying at times.. well make your own decision..
