The Nokia E75 is foremost a business phone and I will not review its picture making capabilities or gaming capabilities. Two of the most important things about a business phon are bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
However, the E75 lacks a great deal in this department, as we all know its already famous bluetooth problems. Bluetooth works fine for a short period of time until it starts running out your battery. Which goes out at an alarming pace if you have a bluetooth headset. I have had no problems with bluetooth with this test device or I guess it depends on the compatibility. It takes a lot of time to establish a good connection but after that is done everything goes well.
The Wi-Fi connection works like a charm and I found hotspots that my E51 and my 5800 didn’ t even detect. Browsing on Wi-Fi and chatting is made a whole lot easier by the full QWERTY keyboard. The connection is somewhat stable and the speed is very good indeed. Much like its predecessor, the E71 , it has no problem in this department and the speed is quite good.
To conclude, the E75 may not be the best out there but it is still a great device to toy with. I have had it for two weeks now and it is just amazing. More on my personal experiences with this device you can read later this week when I will be making a detailed review of the device.
The Nokia E75 battery life has been of the most important issue with this phone. I have been testing the phone for over a week now and I have to say, so far the battery life of this phone is very good.
With or without dual mode this phone has yet to let me down. The battery lasts for around five days, give or take, which is an average battery life for any phone.
However if you keep your bluetooth on all day long the battery life will lose at least one day, but it is normal for any phone with bluetooth. We all know that this is a battery drainer.
To increase the battery life you need to shut down the bluetooth after you are done using it. The battery is relatively good although it may need some improvements.
The Contacts and Messaging are the two foremost important actions for a business phone. The E75 does great in that department, keeping you informed of all your missed calls and messages, in avery unique and practical way.
The Contacts menu displays the company on the right side of the name, as you can see in the video. Which for me can only be a plus, as with my E51 I have to search every time for certain persons with the same name and I have to see details in order to know which is which. No need to organise them in groups any more this function makes it easier for business owners to keep in touch with their suppliers and partners.
Messaging is also very easy you can choose to send a message or an email of that person has an email account in the contact list. Do not forget to set up your own account, because you will not be able to use this function otherwise. To search for a person just open the slide and type his or hers name. A small bar with options will appear, you can choose to send a message or just voice call.
The E75 offers top functions for its users in this department, there is none better for a business owner. The full QWERTY keyboard makes all the difference in the world. Texting and emailing are actually at your fingertips, like never before.
I have just received an E75 from WOM WORLD for testing for the next couple of weeks. I am looking forward to see what this device can do and try to see if there any bugs that I can fix or sort out.
For now you can feast your eyes on the unboxing video I made with my other Nokia. Unfortunately it is not in HD so you cannot actually see very well. But I made pictures of the device. From now on I will make a post of its detailed features each day. Some may include things you know or not, so tomorrow you can feast your eyes on a Contacts Menu and Settings review and tutorial.
My first impressions: The device is of a very sturdy built, with a metal encasing it has a good balance to it. The phone is a bit on the heavy side, but that is a good thing in my book as it gives you the sense of control. When you pick it up the device has a certain something that makes you feel it in your hands and doesn’t give you the impression that you can drop it at any time.
The slide works like a charm, a clap! and the full QWERTY keyboard pops right up. No problems in this department, the keys are very easy to press and this kind of keyboard is very easy to use. Emailing and texting are no longer a problem, both can be done faster and more reliable.
Overall the phone is in tip-top shape, no problems or isuues so far. Except for the headphone, but i believe that is because it has a blue sticker over it that may cause it to malfunction. Have any of you had any problems in this department?
The new Ovi Maps app is on the way and at the Nokia World 09 it has been tested and shown its cool new features. Let’s have a look at this new GPS app from betalabs. Here is a small video and explanation of the Ovi Maps 3.0.
Nokia is bringing email, IM and social sites into one application. Below you have a demo of the new app from Nokia’s Beta Labs. This would be great for the E75, having Twitter and email in one place, at a very low cost. To download the application go to: betalabs.nokia.com.
In my opinion, the Nokia Booklet 3G is the ultimate Business Solution delivered by Nokia. The Booklet is the most advanced E- series device so far.
With its small size and advanced features the Nokia Booklet 3G deliveres a lot of cool features. The Windows 7 OS was the best way to go, as most of us are still unsing the XP. How good is this tiny laptop, well you can judge by yourself. Here is a list of full specs and another video of this Booklet.

With the new N900 being released this october and the new and shiny Maemo 5 OS, Symbian has another competitor to worry about.
Nokia fans have been asking for a better and improved Symbian, but they have yet to succeed. Symbian has been beaten by Android and Mac OSX. And for the past couple of years has been struggling to keep up with the competition. The OVI Store has been released just this year and with a lot of glitches.
Maemo 5 looks better and is faster than the Symbian 5th. Now, Nokia enthusiasts have a choice, Maemo or Symbian. The hardware battle has stopped now it is time for the software battle to begin. But can Symbian keep up, or is this the final countdown for our beloved OS?
I have been asked which is better dual mode or GSM mode. So here is a small tutorial about this feature that we have.
Why am I loosing signal when I enter a building? Well considering that not many phones have had 3G in the past, the current infrastructure for this type of connection is quite weak. So, at times you might seem to be loosing signal but that is nothing to worry because GSM kicks in.
When should I keep my phone on dual mode ? Most of us keep dual mode on because they have an Internet connection on their mobile device. If you do not have one and just use Wi-Fi wherever you can find it, than GSM should work fine for you. Another downside is the battery consumption, dual mode does that a lot faster than GSM mode.
What about GSM mode? Talkers should really switch that off because it will improve time of talking by an hour or so. Also, this goes out to those of you who like texting.
Ok, lets recap. I have told you about the difference between 3G and GSM, the conclusion is simple. Do not use dual mode unless you have an Internet connection. For talking and texting select GSM mode it will work better for you.
How do I switch between dual mode and 3G? In the main menu select Tools, then Settings. Now go to Phone and then Network, after this just select Network Mode and switch between the two modes.
