 Very poor battery life September 8, 2008
Two things about this cell phone that made me decide to go back to my old phone: (1) It gets hot after a short phone conversation; (2) The battery only lasts two days even when I don't make any phone calls. It is even worse than my old cell phone which I have used for two years.
I am very disappointed with this phone and trying to return it.
Dont waste your money - very bad phone from nokia August 22, 2008
I bought 2 PCs and I'm not happy with them. I use Nokia phones from last 10 years. this is the worst handset I ever had. battery goes off so quickly, many times it becomes very hot while talking. speaker quality is very bad. sound clarity worst. lock, unlock feature is not very useful. if you lock the phone and give your kid, if the kid opens the flip it unlocks automatically. availability of batteries for this phone in retail store is very difficult. you have to order online. if you click on the back button on the flip it starts searching music even though no music is loaded. This phone has more annoying features than useful features.
 A great phone. August 22, 2008

I have had this phone for eight months now. I used it for the first four months as AT&T branded, and then I got them to unlock it, and flashed it with the generic firmware.
With the AT&T branded firmware, the music over bluetooth will not work(A2DP).
I have also installed several games (centipede,chess,pacman,etc...) on it, and play them regularly.
I have about 15 hours of music on the microSD card, and play it through my Pioneer 9800BT car receiver.
Pros:
1. Large screen, great for photos, videos, games, etc...
2. Large buttons, great for texting with T9, faster than a qwerty keyboard for me.
3. Great camera for bright environments(sunny, outside).
4. Nice video camera for most environments, mpeg4 compression.
5. microSD slot for storing music, games, photos, videos, etc...
6. You can use it as a decent MP3 player, I no longer carry my ipod with me.
7. 3g, decent pop3/mapi client.
Cons:
1. No WiFi
2. Flash is LED, not Xenon
3. No cover for lens
4. Proprietary nokia headphone jack, must buy adapter. I got mine off e-bay.
5. 2MP no longer impressive for camera
6. Due to two backlit screens, bluetooth, 3g, etc.... battery life is short.
7. Software can be slow if multi-tasking, boot time is a bit slow.
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.
