SIM Free Edition Nokia E75 with No Network Locks

The E-Series range of smart phones has expanded to include the new E75 model, a Nokia phone with a full slide out Qwerty keyboard aimed squarly at the business user.

The Nokia E75 has been released as a SIM Free mobile phone, this means that the new E75 is unlocked to all network operators allowing the user to insert their own SIM card.

This has many benefits including that fact that the user can retain their current mobile number without incurring any extra line rental charges, they continue using the service from their existing network as before.

It also means that any contcts that the user has saved to their SIM card as opposed to their previous phone will move across to their new SIM free Nokia E75.

There is only one downside to buying a SIM Free E75 and that is that the consumer is actually paying for the 'real' price of the mobile phone, that is to say that there are no network subsidies as with pay as you go and contract phones - freedom always comes at a price!

The Nokia E75 SIM free phone is supplied with a full 12 months manfacturers warranty as with network connected handsets to cover any manufacturing faults, this new model would make a great replacement handset for a lost or stolen mobile phone where the user did not take out sufficient insurance to cover the loss.

The SIM Free Nokia E75 can also be bought as a present for others as there is no need to register your purchase as with contract mobile phones, the end recipient can simply isert their SIM card and carry on regardless.

One huge benefit for those who may be suffering from a poor credit rating is that they can now own the Nokia E75 as there are no network credit checks as with contract phones, this will please many in these difficult economic times.

Following on from the Nokia E63 and Nokia E71 models the E75 adds a unique twist in the slide out keyboard, all of the other models had their keyboards on the front of the phone whilst the E75 opts to hide this and protect it from damage.

The Nokia E75 is the newest Smartphone from the Nokia shed. It has been getting a pretty good hype recently. And with good reason too. The phone styled like candy uses QWERTY keyboard slider, 3.2 megapixels camera and gives awesome sound quality among other things. Let us take a quick look at some of the good, bad and the ugly of this new mobile phone.

Advantages

At 139 grams and 14.4mm x 50mm x 11.8mm dimensions, the phone is not too big, not too small, just comfortable. The phone, which is in CandyBar Formfactor, fits right into the hand. The phone maintains the high quality that we have so far experienced in all the Eseries phones so far.

It gives great sound quality and even though it is a phone directed to the professional business community, it does not take multimedia lightly. AAC, eAAC+, WMA and MP3 formats could be used on the media player.  Real player, MP4, Flash, H264, H263 QVGA, 3GP are some video formats suitable for the Video player. Video Streaming, FM player, Windows media player are to be noted too. You can also enjoy with Nokia podcast, Nokia music manager and Nokia music store.

The 2.4-inch QVGA display comes with 16 million colors and in 240 by 320 pixels. It has excellent camera of 3.2 megapixels with Digital zoom, Autofocus, and LED flash. Nokia E75’s version of Nokia Messaging, the default Email Client is a much-improved version of the old one. The phone and the slider look great and the slider is reported to function without any hassles. The QWERTY Keyboard lives up to the reputation and is big and comfortable. The screen, though not big enough, is good enough for easy viewing. It gives good readability even in harsh sunlight. It enables charging through USB port taking convenience to a new platform. 

The battery is great! Even with continuous use it lasts really long. It claims a standby Time of 264hrs. It gives a very good organizer that comes equipped with Phonebook, Alarm Clock, Clock, Calendar and Calculator.

GSM and HSDPA networks, Wi-Fi Connectivity, Micro USB, Bluetooth 2.0, GPRS and EDGE Technology, Nokia Web browser, AGPS Navigation and Nokia Maps all speak of easy connectivity and navigational possibility. 

Disadvantages

The loudspeaker of the phone is not quiet loud enough. The keys used in N-gage gaming do not use the full potential of the QWERTY keyboard. It is not easy to open the memory card slot. The gap on one end when it is in Candy bar mode looks worrying, as if the slider will come tumbling out. This is not a real problem though, as the handset it pretty safely tight. Finger impressions fall easily on the phone.

As anyone can see, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Most of the minuses are ignorable. This is the best QWERTY phone you could find and all the other features are on with par or better than other phones on the market. This new phone has a lot of promise.

The Nokia E75 has now been released on O2 and Orange contract deals as well as Pay As You Go for those who do not like the committment of a pay monthly agreement, there are further network launches planned for this latest E-Series Qwerty phone over the coming weeks.
