The Nokia Eseries devices have a reputation for rock solid construction available for a reasonable price. Messaging is the main focus of the Eseries as they are targeted to enterprise customers who need business application support. The E75 brings the latest Nokia Messaging software to the S60 platform in a new dual design form factor that provides you with both excellent phone and messaging experiences.

A US-compatible A/C adapter is provided in the box. I like having these Velcro securing straps on the cord as well to help keep the cable together.

The E75 has a stainless steel glossy back cover over the battery. It has some textured ribs on it and feels great in your hand.

Speaker on the back

Speaker on the back

A mono speaker is mounted on the back and it provides you with a nice and loud speakerphone. I enjoy listening to podcasts in my car with the speaker and it is loud enough even at 60 mph.

BL-4U battery

A 1000 mAh battery is provided with the E75. So far, I am getting excellent battery life even though the capacity seems a bit low for a smartphone today.

Left side openings

Left side openings

There are covers for the microUSB slot and microSD slot on the left side. The covers are much improved over those found on the E71 and are much easier to access and use.

Bottom charging port and lanyard opening

Bottom charging port and lanyard opening

There is a standard Nokia charging port on the bottom. You can also charge up the E75 via the microUSB connection so you get a couple of great options to keep the battery topped off.

Standard 3.5mm headset jack

Standard 3.5mm headset jack

I am very pleased to see a 3.5mm headset jack on the E75 since I do not like using adapter to connect to my Ultimate Ears headphones on my phones.

Front above the display

The ambient light sensor, headset speaker, and forward facing camera appear above the display. The camera is not something you can use here in the US, but may be valuable for those in other countries.

Front keypad

There are four buttons that serve eight functions packed in around the directional pad. I find them to be quite tight at times and have pressed the wrong key a few times in the past week.

The E75 slides up to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard as the display rotates into landscape mode. This is similar to how a couple of HTC Windows Mobile devices work as well.

The keys are very well spaced and have a rubberized texture to them.

I like the HTC Rose, but find I do have to spend time reaching across to hit some letters.

While the Rose is quite compact and narrow, the E75 is still thinner and shorter.

These are two of my favorite Eseries devices and think they both have strengths and weakneses.

The E71 is thinner, but it also does not have a slider form factor.
