Nokia N75
I got to play with an N75 Today. WOW!!!
All we need now is for Cingular to get the phone to the stores. I was told before that Cingular is coming out with a Nokia Phone Last Week of March First Week of April. Let’s hope it is this phone. The phone keys Screen and internet were just awesome. Only thing I never checked was Pop3 Email. It had nice weight and was really up market. Price Point I was told $500 to buy $2-250 for 2 year deal. It really is worth it IMHO and I was thinking of getting a Treo or Blackjack and I know they have some downfalls. Only Q will be no...

$250 is iPhone territory for me..
Are you sure about this price?

$250 WITH a 2-year contract?! Wow, since this phone is not really all that more advanced than the Sync or KRZR,..
Wow.. I agree 250 w/contract is a tad more than I'd hoped...but I hope your joking with the above
Try a Sync, Razr, or Krazr they do not compare. I had a V3xx for 3 weeks and returned it. The Sync NEVER even made it out the store for me. The IPhone is Edge simply put it is YESTERDAYS technology with Data. Simply put you can't log on to the net and talk at the same time. With 3G you can.
My opinion for me it is worth the wait. I if the data service is priced right.
I will tell you it was way cool

I mean, what makes a phone "advanced" for you? Fun lights? 😁
Lemme see...
Can you read a PDF file on the SYNC/KRZR?
Can you run TomTom nav proggy on the SYNC/KRZR?
Can you install any applications that can access the phone's file system on SYNC/KRZR?
Can you bear watching the videos you take with the SYNC/KRZR?
How about picture quality?
How about the crappy sound quality through cable if you DON'T want to use a $100 stereo BT headset?
How about REAL streaming videos on the SYNC/KRZR (not the CV crap)?
And I could go on and on...
The Contacts and Calender on the SYNC and KRZR phones are JUNK. It also loads xHMTL not just WAP and has so many other benifits to it.
Try going to another country and see what is available. The problem is with most they run 3G on 2100 which is unavailable in the US so in short this is the ONLY smartphone devise on the market. The rest, CINGY calls them PDA's Like I said before we will have to see how Cingy hits us for Data Fees.
But go take a look play with an N73, N80, N91 or any of this phones cou...

(if it ever comes out)
$250 is iPhone territory to you? Are you serious? Did you know that the 4GB iphone will cost double that?
Having usually received money back after rebate for the latest phones, yes, $250 is iPhone territory, as anything >$0 becomes a "splurge" when compared to getting a free phone or cash back for a phone (which has always been the case for me). The KRZR and Sync are both $0 on Amazon right now, so $250 out of pocket for S60 is not worth it imo.
The Iphone is even more elusive than the N75 and then you are looking at Apple Vs Nokia for cell phone technology. When you get it in your hands you will see.
I N75 is a smartphone, if the N73 ran the same bands as this phone for data I would be looking at that phone and own it now.
If you are looking at other things in a phone Sync and LG CU500 should be on your list. They both run at 1.8 Meg for Data Cingy only runs at 2.5 right now with a Max of 9-12 Meg and the V3xx runs at 3.6 Meg. If you use MediaNet or Data then that is huge Oh then of course the Iphone (Edge) 284kbs A Snail and when on data service and No phone calls.
I love my IPod but this is terr...

Cingy could have done us all a favor and shot for FP1 on the N75 to allow for HSDPA.. a 50% increase over edge is like kind of like being 50% less dead.. it still stinks.. (Ability to do voice and data simultaneously not withstanding) and especially if they were waiting until now to release it..
But I will be buying this phone anyways like I always do..I can't wait..
And there really is no comparison between the sync(ham and egger phone) and krzr(moto junk) and the N75
I was told that Cingy approved the N95 so that may mean if they make it US capable. Easy mod over building a new phone.

Not necessarily doubting, but how do you know this? I would take the N95 over the N75 in a heartbeat.
