Review: Nokia N75
IS IT REALLY THAT BAD?
I have been waiting for weeks for Amazon to send me this phone. They had the best price when it launched ($50.00) but 5-7 week wait for delivery. Still have yet to receive it, but am not as excited now. I like all the phone features, but was unaware how huge the phone was or that there were so many audio issues, cheap build quality and poor battery life. I love Nokia phones, in my opinion they are the best in the industry, but now after waiting in anticipation, I feel I'm in for a big disappointment. Is it really that bad? really? After reading this review I feel I should be bracing for a string of problems and frustration. Also, what kinds of music files does it play? I see conflicting information on different web sites.

If you actually bought your music from the iTunes Music Store, then it will only play on Apple devices, meaning iPod or iPhone. There have also been a couple of Motorola phones for Cingular with iTunes, but no Nokias.

The internal LCD has 16 million colors, which makes web browsing and pictures look very nice. Keep in mind too, that most 3G phones are not going to have stellar battery life, including the N75 (that is the reason Samsung put 2 batteries in with the Blackjack) and that is because it takes more power to pull a 3G signal.

Thanks for the info. I should be receiving my new phone any day now, and I will trying the reformatting tips too.
