 cracked hinges on 2 phones December 26, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
the hinge on this phone is faulty. any type of normal use can easily crack the hinge and of course the manufacturer blames it on usage. i have had wireless phones for 10 years and have never damaged one, two hinges in 3 months gave out on me with this horrible hinge design.
 Two Broken Phones Later... December 17, 2007

I ordered my first N75 about a month ago. I liked it at first until about two weeks later when it started having problems. The first problem was there was no caller id data on my external screen. I later found out that downloaded themes won't display this information on the external screen. So I had to use the Nokia or AT&T theme in order to get caller id. No big deal. About a week later I set the phone on my desk, inserted the charger and left it there for a few hours. When I returned I noticed a big black spot on my external screen. I could see it even with the phone turned off. It looked like a quarter sized ink spot. When I turned the phone on the external screen was all jumbled with lines running across it and a big black spot. So I returned it. Now I had phone #2. The first thing I did was to put in the SIM card and battery and plugged in the charger. Nothing happened. I noticed a slight buzzing sound coming from the charger and it got really hot. I tried another outlet and nothing happened. The screen on my phone said "Not Charging". I plugged the charger into the first phone that was waiting to be returned and the same thing happened, "Not Charging" msg appeared. I switched the two phones batteries and the same thing happened. I think it was a faulty charger that shorted out both phone batteries and also fried my SIM card. I had to go to an AT&T store to get a new SIM card. So that phone got returned and now I have phone #3. So far so good...
I really do like this phone when it's working. It's a nice looking phone that's very customizable. My only complaints so far would be that the top buttons are too close together and hard to push without pushing another one. Also the place where the SIM card goes is in a bad spot. I need tweezers to remove it. The battery seems a little weak. I need to charge it daily even after I set the packet data to "when needed". Also if I use a downloaded theme I have to sacrifice the caller id on the external screen to do so.
Maybe the third one will work... December 14, 2007

I am a techy on a budget, and was hoping to get the most of a phone for a one-time cost without having to pay additional monthly fees. I was very happy with the N75 for the first 5 days, when it worked.
The first phone had a faulty battery cover, and before I got a chance to exchange it, the battery fell out in my purse and was no longer functional, and I couldn't even turn the phone on or charge it. (This turned into a horrible experience with the warranty department as well as asurion insurance, since I was told it didn't count as warranty error because there may be physical damage...from my purse...but that's another review altogether.)
Then I received my replacement, which again was a pretty good phone for both weeks. I never once dropped it, never sat on it, never did ANYTHING that I'm aware of to harm it, and literally overnight, the screen shattered. I set my alarm, put it on the bedside table, and went to bed with a functional phone. I woke up and the screen was shattered with a clear focal point that to my knowledge had never been touched, making me believe that the phone must be extremely sensitive to damage; the only other option I can come up with is that my purse or bedside table are possessed. So the screen broke, and then STILL without any physical beatings that I'm aware of, after a few days the functionality of the address book stopped working - I had to dial in the number to call anyone. Also it no longer with answer consistently, or end calls consistently. (And again with stupid warranty, they said it had to be physical damage so the warranty wouldn't cover it - which means that, within 2 months of getting this phone, I've had less than 1 month of working phone, and my insurance for the year is completely used up - if the next one doesn't work, I have to buy the new phone on my own dime even though I tried my hardest to take care of my phones).
The battery life is horrible, but this wouldn't bother me so much if it gave enough warning - after the first warning beep, you have about a minute to frantically find a charger and plug it in before inadvertently ending your call. The music player goes off constantly when in my pocket or purse (although that's partly my fault for not remembering to lock the phone regularly). The placement of the camera button is awful, and I generally take several pictures on accident per phone call. I have to buy the crappy proprietary headphones to use with the music player, or if you choose a wired headset. The picture quality is really bad, no matter how many pixels they claim. And of course, most importantly from my experience, these phones tend to break unexpectedly in ways that the warranty will not cover. I love Nokias, but I hate this demon phone.
Bottom line - don't buy this phone. There are plenty of phones with the same capabilities and better functionality that actually work...
Don't like it December 9, 2007
Yeah it has a lot of features, but like others have said its battery is crappy, but also the construction is cheap and the camera doesn't take good pictures. I bought it mainly because I was expecting a fairly decent camera and I'm disappointed.
Don't drop it either, I dropped mine and there is a huge crack in the hinge, not something that can be repaired.
Oh and this is the second one, the first one I had to return because it was malfunctioning. I wish they had given me something different in return.

The Nokia N75: 12.01.2007
After doing a lot of research about which phone to get, and after signing a new 2 year contract with AT&T, I chose the Nokia N75 as my cellular companion for the next 2 years. This is obviously a big decision, and I am very much willing to research and wait for the right purchase and price.
Here is how I came to this decision:
My primary requirement for a cell phone purchase is that it foremost functions well and reliably as a PHONE, and any additional features are merely supplementary. The Nokia N75 functions very well as a phone, with good reception, large and comfortable buttons, easy contact management, and intuitive text capabilities. I am not interested in using a miniature QWERTY Keyboard on a small device like a lot of modern phones, and the N75, despite being very advanced, still has a standard keypad.
I was somewhat interested in a phone that had a decent camera to take a quick snapshot when I'm with friends, or when I don't have my nice Digital camera with me. The N75 has a 2 mega pixel camera that takes acceptable photos. It also shoots pretty high quality video w/ sound.
The MP3 Music features are very nice, and the speakers output decent sound, but this feels like more of a novelty to show your friends. I have used it a few times on my own in a quiet room, and it sounds as good as a small laptop. The Phone functions well as an MP3 Player.
The user interface is very intuitive, and the main screen is very crisp and useful. The design of the phone feels very clean and geometric, with an obvious attention to detail from Nokia.
The main reason why this phone is such a great deal, is the fact that you can get it for free here on Amazon, which makes the aforementioned features an incredible deal.
The Battery life, as others have stated, seems to only last a couple days, but I live in a house, so I don't mind taking the 5 seconds to plug my phone into the wall while I sleep. Duh.
It's also manufactured in Finland, which I find pretty neat, since the majority of other phones are manufactured in Asia, which is where the rest of my technology comes from anyways. I have a product from Finland, cool.
This is a great phone with a ton of features, great design, and a great price.
