Nokia’s E75 is a strangely attractive candybar phone with chunky keys, a sliding QWERTY keyboard and the standard S60 software loadout. It has quad-band GSM with 3G, a 240×320 display, a 3.2 megapixel camera, WiFi, assisted GPS and a microSDHC card slot. There’s bluetooth, 30FPS video recording, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It hooks up via MicroUSB.
If you want an illustration of how carrier subsidies have distorted pricing, check out the difference between T-Mobile’s edition and the unlocked equivalent in the U.K.: £389.99 vs.free with the contract.
U.S. carriers don’t like Nokia much, so it’ll be interesting to see how availability pans out here.
just say no to candy bars.
If this wasn’t available to pre-purchase, I’d still be convinced this isn’t a photoshop. It looks SO much like my much-loved E51 – even more so than the Blackberry-style E71 that has come out between these two models – but with PS-style nominal amendments. However if it turns out to be real, and depending on how thick that slide-out makes it, it’s gonna be a tough choice between this and the E71…
Bah, that’s what I get for rephrasing a post without adult supervision… ‘I’d still be convinced that this is a photoshop’.
