Nokia E75
Price: £380
The Finns' first full slide-out alpha keyboard.
The E75 is the first Nokia smart phone to feature a slide-out Qwerty keyboard and style-wise it would appear to be a sort of cross between the conventionally sliding E66 and the E90 Communicator – the latest incarnation of Nokia's long-established hinged Qwerty-keyboard business phones.
- The 2.5in, 320 x 240, 16m-colour screen doesn't measure up to the E90's 800 x 352 beast, but at least it has the advantage of looking like a conventional phone, and Nokia's obviously done some sterling work in keeping it relatively thin - for a keyboard slider, anyway - at 112 x 50 x 14mm. It weighs in at a respectable 139g as opposed to the E90's trouser-straining 210g.
- Around the sides are a micro USB port and Micro SD memory card slot - it comes with a 4GB card to boost the phone's 50MB of on-board memory - both covered with rubberised grommets, plus camera shutter and volume buttons, a dedicated voice commands button and a 3.5mm audio jack at the top. Round the back is a lightly ridged metallic cover, similar to the one on the E66, but this time with a 3.2Mp camera with LED flash and self-portrait mirror.
- The keypad is a little cramped, especially the three keys right at the bottom, which can be a bit tricky to reach with your thumb.
- Three of Nokia's standard E-series shortcut keys - home, calendar and messaging - are ranged around the square navpad, but contacts has been replaced with a delete button, which seems an odd choice for a phone with an alphanumeric keyboard, especially since there are a couple of soft-menu keys present, one of which could easily serve as a delete button for when you're punching in phone numbers.
- The four-line keyboard is well spaced, but the flat keys, made of rubberised plastic, aren't as tactile and easy to distinguish with your thumbs as, for instance, those on Nokia's E71, or HTC's Qwerty-packing smart phones - such as the S470 - which have sloping buttons that rise like little hillocks to meet your thumbs.
- Fast access is assured with both the HSDPA 3G connection and Wi-Fi, which also proved easy to set up.
- There's a motion sensor on board to auto-rotate the screen from portrait to landscape, but the E75 will also do this automatically when you open the keyboard. Everything you need for a good browsing experience, in other words.
- The camera, by comparison, is a little less impressive. Hold down the shutter button on the side and it takes a rather tardy four seconds to kick into life.
- Maximum resolution is 2048 x 1536 pixels and there's auto focus, an 8x digital zoom and a red-eye reduction option for the LED flash.
- Switching to video mode drops the quality to 640 x 480 but it does record at 30f/s, so it's a cut above most basic camera phone video recorders and you can use the flash as a video light.
- There's also another camera on the front for video conferencing.
- The E75's media player covers all the basics more than well. It can play MP3, WMA, AAC, AAC+ and eAAC+ formats and gives you options to create play lists and download pod casts.
- You can also view video in Flash, 3GP, H.263, H.264, MPEG 4 VSP, Real Video and WMV9 formats, all in landscape mode.
- The E75 has one of Nokia very fine FM radios on board with up to 50 station presets as well as an internet radio player though you'd be advised to only use this with a WLAN connection – using it with a mobile connection can deliver some seriously scary data charges.
