WTF? The URL that you have given would have sufficed.

[BBThumbHealer]

E71 Or BlackBerry Curve FTW !

[kwimp]

This Time For Using Mail Services Nokia Is Best If You Have Any Corporate Mail Use Mail For Exchange Its an Free Services Work Like Push Mail. And If You Want Personal Mail Use Nokia Messaging Its An Paid Service But You Can Use One Month Trial After That Service Provider Is Charge For This Service. And Blackberry Is Not any Free Or Trial Service. So Why Blackberry?

[k4ce]

not for me ...

[vk123]

Im drooling after seeing this

[paradisevikas]

if u want an tried and tested phone then e71 suites u best even if i had tht budget i had opted for e71.its nice and sleek phone all cased in steel.
still if want want e75 then i wud suggest u tht wait for 2-3 months u'll get actual picture tht how this phone performs n moreover there r chances tht u'll get price benefits

[k4ce]

e series aint my type ... but yeah , given a choice , i wud go for the e71 over the e75

[talwar]

@k4ce
E71 Has Too Big In Size I Like E75 Quite Handy And Looks Great When Side Slide Is Open.

+1 e55 is better over e75 in comparision to price and feature E75 gives.

[sdmaverick]

Hi guys,

nice battle goin on with the e71 and e75....

no doubt the E71 is a tried and tested fone with a good solid form factor and a good qwerty

but let me tell u in case u r an executive or even for that matter a personal user looking for mobile productivity, then E75 is the way to go mates

I keep getting new phones from Nokia for testing purposes and can assure u the E75 definitely lives upto the expectations with the integrated nokia messaging service which ran flawlessly. Add to that the form factor and a spacious qwerty experience....

So dont hesitate in checking out one or asking any questions relating to the device....

Cheers!

[girish.g]

used the phone yesterday at X-cite, The qwerty keypad is awesome,but the numeric keypad is hard, the screen looks smallish because of the space they left at the top.

[manishjha18]

used the phone--battery back up-whole 2 days with wlan on .it has an awesome web browser.

[sdmaverick]

@Girish,

hi mate...

yep the numeric keys did feel a little hard but that was alrite after a months usage....

probably nokia fones get smoother as u keep using them over time

As far as the screen goes, its the standard screen size used in fones like the N81 i.e 2.4 inches....but the main thing that incites me is the form factor wherein the qwerty slides into view only when u need it

Cheers!

[sdmaverick]

@Manish

thats awesome bro

Tw days with wlan on

u must be one busy executive

cheers!

[ziha786]

@ sdmaverick
if i am using alpha numeric keypad and want qwerty keypad its not slide with one hand its just irritating. am just dropped my phone. Its Such Bad Sliding Option.

[sdmaverick]

@ziha786

really sorry to hear that mate

the sliding mechanism as i said is stiff in the beginning and tends to become smoother with usage....though i never felt my slider too tight for that matter... i can relate coz i had similar problem with my n81 slider at first....

cheers!

[ziha786]

Nokia N95 8GB & E66 both has very smooth sliding.
But in E75 i think its manufacturing defect.
So pls telll if any one facing the same problem.......

@Ziha,

It might be a batch specific problem that u mite be facing mate....because i tried out 3 different fones (E75's) of my friends and one seemed a little stiffer than the other two rest all were same in sliding....

in any case u can ask for a repair or replacement from nokia care if ure within warranty

cheers!

[kwimp]

Here IS An E66 More Handy Stylish And Sliding Phone With All Feature Except Ngage Games.

So Why You Pay Extra For E75.

E66 Is Very Nice And Smart Business Phone Support MFE, NMS and all E75 Features. Excepts Ngage Games.???

@kwimp

A platform should always be current for an executive

cheers!

Samsung has an Rs. 1500 phone with 12hrs talktime on a full charge and an insane battery backup. There was another one for 2.2K or something with 16 hour talktime. They were from the Samsung Guru series BTW.

Compared to that, this with 8 hours talktime does not appear too enticing.

How can you compare an ordinary phone to a full QWERTY phone ? Only REAL typists will tell you the importance of going full qwerty.

The two cater different categories. You can't compare them.

[follower of krazzy]

@sdmaverick
Yes m agree With you this mobile is more convenient with Two Side Keypad and good Work efficiently out of the office. Stay updated on your emails, and edit slides, spreadsheets, and documents right on your device.
Access important corporate data or manage your personal information remotely.

Enjoy....

[ziha786]

the browser doesn't seem to be optimized in the Facebook.
can't Nokia provide a single window application that let's you connect with multiple social networks at a time like orkut, facebook, gtalk etc?
It will be interesting to see something like that! Imagine how convenient it will be if i could get an option like connect to with options of my social profiles. let me know if anybody knows this!

[kishorjain.jain7]

has the price come down?

[follower of krazzy]

the price is around 23000

[follower of krazzy]

here are my views on E75 .. i am actually playing around with both e75 and n97

but won't go into comparing.. except mentioning a few common points

pros
it's sturdy and solid.. that's imp for qwerty
fp2 as always gives u loads of options like short cuts, search etc that i really miss on the n97
nice integration of facebook and windows live
good for gaming on n-gage
off center screen in landscape mode, the layout feels comfortable
nice keyboard, very comfortable for long messaging
good for email use, i find this one very ease to use, comes with an inbuilt nokia messaging client (see screen shot attached)
nice browser
os very snappy unlike the e71, which i found acting a bit slow at times
nice music output

cons
no instruction to home keys, comes without any marks f and j kets
find the silver bar that splits into two sides a bit weird, but that cud be my personal take

don't really have much to complain except i wish if this had a touch screen probably i wouldn't have been playing with the n97 8)

here are some screen shots
