Messaging
Video and picture messaging are standard features on the Nokia N75. Its
large numeric keypad makes text messaging simple, however the smooth surface
and minimal separation in between could make it difficult for users who
text by touch.

Users can stay in touch with real-time chat available through clients
such as AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and Windows Live. One right
click from the directional keypad connects users to features, buddies and
saved conversations.
Pressing Up brings up a blank text message. The selection key in the
upper left corner pulls up the Messaging Menu that allows consumers to create
a text message, multimedia message, email or postcard. POP3 and IMAP4 email
protocols are supported with today's most popular services including Hotmail,
Yahoo!, and AOL.
Entertainment
Together, the 2.0-megapixel camera, 3D speakers and high-resolution screens
make N75 a strong multimedia device. The external music and multi-function
controls keep the N75 competitive with many similarly designed phones currently
available, while the speakers and colorful internal display showcase music
and videos that can be streamed on the N75 with RealAudio and RealVideo.
 Nokia
N75 users can access AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) and AT&T Mobile Music. With
the N75's enhanced music player that supports Windows Media Digital Rights
Management (WMDRM), they can play music purchased at Napster and Yahoo!
Music. CV features 10 basic-programming providers from CNN, NBC Mobile,
The Weather Channel, Fox News, ESPN, Comedy Central and exclusive premium
content from HBO and more.
Content is then divided into sections: TV to Go, News and Weather, Sports,
and Entertainment. TV to Go section offers video clips from popular shows
such as The Tonight Show and Desperate Housewives. Get current events and
weather updates through NBC, CNN, Fox, and The Weather Channel in the News
and Weather section. Sports highlights are offered in the Sports section
including ESPN, Fox Sports, The Speed Channel, and Fuel TV. Access Hollywood,
TV Guide Channel, and Adult Swim are in the Entertainment section.
HBO Mobile, HBO Family Mobile, and Music Choice are available in the
premium section. Through AT&T's partnership with HBO, customers can view
short previews and video clips of popular HBO shows such as Entourage and
The Sopranos.
Music Tone ringtones, J2ME games (Tetris, 3D Pool Hall and Lumines Puzzle
Fusion preinstalled) and graphics round out the offerings, downloadable
to the N75.
Internet
Internet can be accessed on the N75 by pressing the menu button on the
upper left side of the keypad, and selecting MEdia Net.
Unfortunately the N75 doesn't support AT&T's newest HSDPA (High-Speed
Downlink Packet Access) high-bandwidth service, capable of supporting theoretically
download speeds of up 3.6 Mbps. But it does offer AT&T's UMTS (Universal
Mobile Telecommunications System) network at just a step down, offers data
rates up to 384 kbps. While ideal, realistically users should expect speeds
around 220 to 320 kbps. Necessary for high-bandwidth multimedia features,
AT&T's UMTS network serves as the backbone for AT&T Music and Cellular Video.
