Preview of UMTS-smartphone Nokia E75
Mobile-review have posted a preview of the Nokia E75. Here is the final impression.
Call quality was never an issue with the E75, as it easily lived up to our expectations of a Nokia-branded phone. Ring tones sounded quite loud; we also found the E75’s vibro alert was average strength-wise.
The E75 is set to arrive in most regions early in March with a price tag of 375 Euro (before taxes and subsidies). Although originally they planned to sell it at the price point the Nokia E71 retailed on its debut, the fact of the matter is that the EUR/USD exchange rate at its current level simply won't let this happen.
All things considered, the E75 isn't a mass-market offering - much like the Nokia E71 it targets a certain niche, albeit a pretty big one. It's a likeable phone that doesn't have any direct rivals, bar the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic that offers a bigger memory card in the box, along with a remote control and plasticky battery cover. But other than that they are very similar (again, except for some Eseries-specific controls). On a side note, Nokia's original intention was to sell the 5730 XpressMusic for 220 Euro a piece, however it seems that it occurred to them the niche they are targeting isn't particularly wide, so they'll bump its price tag up to 250-275 Euro when it hits the shelves
Once the E75's price rolls down to 300 Euro (which will take 7 to 9 months), it will start garnering more weight in its segment, however it'll never become a bestseller, nor will it ever reach the heights of the Nokia E71.
