Nokia E75 – first impressions
Earlier today I attended the Nokia E75 launch, held at the Skin Sense Day Spa in Rivonia. As you might know I’m no corporate so phones in that range don’t interest me.
I got to play with the phone for a short while and if first impressions are anything to go by, I wouldn’t mind owning this handset. What I like about is that it’s light (much lighter than my N85) even though it has a slide out keyboard. It’s slim, sleek and well, stylish, especially in the deep red colour that it’s also available in. So it gets full marks in the ‘looks’ category but I can’t vouch for battery life etc.
Some plus points:
- supports mobile VPN
- Nokia Messaging – you only need your username & password (supports Gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo! [remind me again who uses Yahoo!], AOL).
- customizeable home screen views for business and personal. So when you get home, flip screens and no work mail coming in.
- data encryption for phone memory and microSD card

Even though I don’t mind owning this device, I’d still pick the N97 over this
