Nokia E75 Review
There is a lot to like. The build quality is great, the keyboard snaps in and out like a jewelled device given to James by Q. The keyboard feels good. The front face is “skinned” in shiny plastic that will prevent the phone looking old and tired quickly. The phone feels solid, as if carved from metal. Battery life is excellent for a smart phone. Nokia PC sync software is among the best out there, and other manufacturers take note, it syncs sms’s. Do this, let us all get our text messages saved to our pc’s if we want to. Please?
To the negative. Nokia learn from Blackberry. The blackberry menu structure works, it is simple and takes minimal clicks to get something done. Copy this. For example when reading emails press N for the next email
or U for the next unread mail on a ‘Berry. On the other hand: press return (top right) on Nokia, scroll to next mail (1 click down of hideous Nokia Navigator thingy) click centre of navigator. One click vs three. I won’t even comment on replying to a message or mail. One word: Tedious
The ‘Berry Storm Bold (I must proof read my posts more carefully ouch!) is still king if you actually reply to stuff. The i-phone for those who are only into voyeurism.
All other phones must bow to the iPhone. There is only one king!
