Before I go on, I must say that the N75 I had was an AT&T branded phone. I typically purchase unbranded devices, but when I broke my Nokia 6682, I was in a pinch, and this was the phone I was offered via the phone insurance company. As an S60 phone, I found the N75 extremely easy to use. It is compact, lightweight, and although I am not a fan of clamshell phones, it felt sturdy and closed smoothly.

The Nokia N75 is a GSM compatible, clamshell (flip) phone. One unique feature is the large external screen that allows you to see who is calling and answer or decline without having to open the phone. Also, the buttons on the outside of the phone are tied directly into the music player and allow you to navigate through MP3s without ever having to access the main phone menu. The menu itself is a breeze to navigate through and applications and the included document and e-mail programs make managing tasks on the go a very smooth process.

The web browser is strong, but because of the narrow dimensions of the phone, and small amount of internal memory dedicated towards applications, which include the web browser, the pages load slowly, and sometimes it is difficult to maneuver through complex webpages.
The Nokia N75 has a solid speaker phone and the microphone and speaker both produce clear, audible sounds.

My problems with this phone came about less than a year after having it, when I began getting a message saying that there was not enough available memory to open applications; any applications. Temporarily, I was able to combat this by cycling the phone on and off, which would remedy the problem, but over time, this became less effective. It eventually got to the point where I was forced to delete programs from the phone just to open the messaging application and read my texts. Problematic does not even begin to describe the situation when one is forced into deciding between keeping all of their documents on a phone, or keeping all of their photos. Eventually, I had taken enough from the N75 and purchased a new phone. Overall, the majority of my experiences with this device were pleasurable, but the problems at the end of our relationship were certainly severe.
