Storage

The N75's internal memory of up to 40 MB can be extended with a microSD card (capable of accepting cards up to 2 GB in size, sold separately). A small tab on the side can be pulled out to access the microSD slot. With the maximum expandable memory in place, the N75 can store up to 1,500 individual audio tracks.

Connectivity

The N75 boasts Nokia PC Suite connectivity with USB, infrared and Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology.

Bluetooth profiles supported include Dial-Up Networking (DUN) to use as a modem when connected to a laptop, Handsfree Profile (HFP) with handsfree car kits, Headset Profile (HSP) to pair wireless headsets, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to provide access to file systems on other devices, Object Push Profile (OPP) to send pictures, virtual business cards, or appointment details, and Serial Port Profile (SPP) to emulate a serial cable. Most users will be interested in HSP and HFP. Unfortunately the N75 doesn't offer A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) for wireless stereo streaming during music playback.

Conclusion

Nokia's N75 is a decently attractive phone, although its stylishness will suffer in the eyes of some users because of its slightly clunky size. The matte graphite finish of the exterior is different, but pleasantly unique. Blue-lit buttons are a modern, well-coordinated touch, and the controls outside and inside the phone are intuitive and easy to use.

The multimedia technology and connectivity, however, offer something for almost everyone and the phone is very solid in this area. The size might be justified by the myriad features packed into this still relatively small package.

AT&T's menu is easy to navigate on the N75 and media are reproduced beautifully, thanks to the high resolution, 16.7 million color screen.

For jet setters, the quad-band world phone is also built to work on all four frequencies of GSM commonly used internationally.

The N75's impressive connectivity offers many more ways to stay in touch, with Bluetooth, USB cable and infrared available to transfer data to a PC and other devices. Users will want to transfer data between their computers and a multimedia phone such as the N75, and Nokia has clearly worked to make this as smooth a process as possible.

Nokia's N75 is overall a very solid phone that includes some of the best cell phone technology currently on the market in a uniquely designed package.
