Camera
The 2.0-megapixel camera and camcorder included on the N75 puts it at
the high end of current camera phone technology, and provides print quality
photos. An easy to use menu allows phone users to send photos, add them
to a print basket, create a slideshow or delete them.

The camera is capable of taking extremely sharp 1600 x 1200 px photos,
and generally produces a good color balance. A flash is located above the
camera lens on the back of the phone.
The camera design on the back face of the phone integrates intuitively
with the camera phone's function: with the phone closed, it is possible
to snap photos using the camera button on the top right hand side of the
phone. The N75 also balances well on its side for timed shots, a nice feature
not included in some other clamshells. Music control buttons on the front
face of the phone allow some camera functions to be used with the phone
closed, although others require keys inside the phone.
With 40 MB of internal memory that can be extended with a microSD card
of up to 2 GB, the N75 can record up to 500 minutes of video or about 2,500
2.0-megapixel photos. Memory cards are sold separately.
In addition to basic features such as flash settings and a self-timer,
the camera can also be used to take photos in a sequence. Five scene modes
are available-auto, user defined, portrait, landscape, night and night portrait-and
tips for each mode's suggested use pop up to the right side when a mode
is selected.
Outdoor photos were mostly true to color on the N75's camera and indoor
shots were very clear, although with a slight greenish tint. White balance
can be adjusted to automatic, sunny, incandescent or fluorescent, and color
tones can be set at normal, sepia, black and white and negative.
Another phone in Nokia's Nseries - the N95 - has raised some users' expectations
with its 5.0-megapixel camera, but the N75's photo and video quality are
on par with other 2.0-megapixel camera phones on the market.
Basic Features
Powered by an 800 mAh Li-Ion battery, the N75 provides up to four hours
of talk time and up to eight days of standby time. Nine phone numbers can
be programmed into speed dial.
AT&T's menu is presented simply and colorfully on the N75, in an easy
to navigate layout. Standard tools accessed through the menu include Notes,
a Clock, Calendar that records appointments, Calculator and Currency Converter.
Two style "themes" come with the N75, however neither is very attractive.
There is the orange and black Cingular theme, and the hazy purple, fuchsia
and black Nokia Nseries theme. The Nokia background is a slight improvement
and coordinates with the N75's graphite exterior, but fortunately themes
can also be downloaded.
