To start would like to ask: what can you say about the Nokia N75? Most probably shrug the shoulders and tried to clarify timid about this phone belonging to the clan of Series 60 smartphones. The remaining, and did try to correct you and say that you probably had in mind Nokia N70, Nokia N76, Nokia N71 or something else in this way. A vain… Nokia N75 really exists, it is only few know. The fact is that the N75 model designed exclusively for the American market. The first announcement UMTS-smartphone still held in September 2006 and sold beginning in the winter of 2007 novelty solely under wing operator Cingular. Of course, for sale in the States, the Finns did not create a fundamentally new platform - which is why Nokia N75 strongly resembles Nokia 6290. The similarities are not limited to external detail. However, in this regard, we can say that all one generation smartphones Nokia similarities. At the same time, we probably will end up running steam ahead. Let’s say only that the randomness of a happy we are on a short time at its disposal get immersed in a copy of our edges Nokia N75. The result will be short acquaintance and present material.

Appearance. Design

While detailed consideration of appearance Nokia N75 think that the designers were trying to please be broader audience. This is a very mild and conservative design smartphone. In contrast to the bright and imaginative shapes most smartphones N-series, the N75 looks very calmly: rectangular turn the phone sides smooth. In doing so, it should be noted that the classical appearance does not diminish the nature Mod, which is part of this smartphone. The combination of these qualities makes Nokia N75 rather interesting, although some of its design may seem dull.

Build Packaging traditionally good. Panels have a minimum clearance, which is achieved at the expense of the solidity of construction. It is felt when the phone is in the hand - a feeling of goodness product does not fooled. In closed Nokia N75 looks much more compact than it is now. Deceit rounded view helps shape his shell and black. However, far from the small dimensions do not prevent the situation quite convenient smartphone in his hand. In doing so, the developers tried to make sure that the user was able to manage a mobile assistant even in a closed condition. For this to shell out a lot more buttons. Thus, on the front panel can be found three keys to manage Player, music. However, this does not end their use. Depending on the applications running as they can serve as soft buttons and the buttons confirm the selection.

When the cell phone is not required to disclose - as a viewfinder supports external display, with the help of three resident keys can navigate through the options menu, etc. Equally, we can choose songs from the music library. Already mentioned external display took its rightful place in the top third of the front panel. His frames Plexi performing protective functions.

The free space left brink ordered under all kinds of connectors. For example, revealed in the center slot for microSD memory card format, covered plastic plugs. Just above the connector is to connect charger, which are visible next to a large plug, disguising PopPort connector interface. Moreover, one can not help but notice that the top of the smartphone has silver color and how sunk in the bag formed by the bottom part of the smartphone. Of course, we are not slider, and the usual extra bed, but sometimes illusion sliding corps present.

But it was not this, but what it is here in stereo speakers system, the distance between them is large enough that the user feels a minimal presence stereo. Wrist strap for fastening can be found here. Button inclusion apparatus, which has traditionally served and for the selection of profiles, it is at the upper end of. As for the bottom, it is absolutely clean.

Turned smartphone can be found battery compartment cover. For its withdrawal only need to click on a small latch. Under the lid traditionally hidden battery. As for the SIM card, it is inserted into the slot, located at the top of the compartment, and there is fixed through spring latches. Module digital camera immediately attracted attention because a little above the surface of the shell. As the size of the smartphone is not classified as miniature disclose the phone with one hand will not be easy, despite the soft job connecting the two halves hinged shell. Even with the passage of time play between halves of the shell were observed. To ensure that the closed halves do not touch, the shell are special rubber pads. Angle disclosure extra bed large enough to make conversation with the dynamics of dense snugly to the user’s ear.

All free space occupies the bottom half of keyboard module. All the wealth of free space is used wisely. As a result, we have received extremely ergonomic keyboard. Digital keyboards are very small size and solid going into the center. In this use them - a pleasure. Progress buttons nice and soft. Hits well felt. You do not need to fear that accidentally press few keys. Manager module contains quite a large number of items. Beyond the usual soft keys and buttons reception and Lights Out call, we have become traditional Symbian-buttons: “pencil” and Del. Navigation key is not completely model to be emulated - an ideal size, shape and literate evaluated ergonomics. In its center button inscribed confirm the selection. On either side of the joystick are keys menu and music player. At hatch shell halves can be seen a big display, which is concentrated spoken earpiece sensor hole and modifying the intensity of illumination of the keyboard and display, depending on the ambient light.

Hardware, broad operational and communications capabilities

Nokia N75 is a music phone. This can be seen, above all, control playback button on the front part of extra bed. In addition, we would like to note the good sound quality built-in speakers. Maximizing the volume more than enough to incoming call is heard on the noisy street. It is sounding quite clean and pleasant. Stereo felt largely thanks big removal of the loudspeakers from each other. Since the machine is designed for the American market, it can not work in all GSM frequency bands - supported only network eGSM 900, 1800, 1900, as well as WCDMA 2100. Certainly, there is support for GPRS (class 10) and EDGE. As for the wireless interfaces, the developers have provided us with an archaic infrared and Bluetooth v.2.0. The module works steadily and smoothly - however, it is now nothing new. Synchronization is carried out with a PC using a USB connection. USB version - 2.0. In doing so, we can select the type of connection or manually enter it with the direct telephone connection. There are three modes: PC Suite, data transmission, multimedia playback. Volume of memory is great enough for Symbian smartphone, and is 60 MB, which dynamically shared between applications, contacts and user data. Increase may be using microSD memory card format that is included in the kit.

About the internal display is possible to speak in positive terms. 2.4 “TFT-matrix has 320 х240 permission and the ability to display up to 16 million colors and shades. Rate all possibilities with the help of the display screen interface is not, because it does not single variety of colors. Nevertheless, viewing pictures, it appears that the potential of the matrix very high: excellent color, angles at the level of review, juicy and bright colors. K automatic brightness control using sensor also claims no - his work is very correct. in the same settings, you can specify its sensitivity. Regarding external display, here we deal with CSTN-matrix. Diagonal is 1.36, but permission is 160 pixels h128. This external display capable of displaying up to 256,000 colors. His head with enough opportunities to display include service information. If use it as a viewfinder for the built-in camera, then in this case it fits well. Nokia N75 is fitted with a replaceable lithium-polymer battery BL-5BT capacity of 800 mAh. According to the manufacturer this should be sufficient for 4 hours talk or 200 hours of operation in the standby mode. In fact, it turns out that smartphone with an average intensity of exploitation can operate without recharging for two to three days, that sounds like a good idea.

Camera

Nokia N75 is equipped with 2 - digital CMOS-sensor. To date, it does not look like a very modern, but at the time of announcement N75 is not bad looking at the role of Megaphone. To activate the camera, just click on the special button on the right side. If the machine is not disclosed, the external display will serve as a viewfinder. This phone is very convenient to hold in the manner of conventional digital soap holders - horizontally. Under the left hand is just key is the volume, through which we can activate a digital zoom. Moreover, we have seen that the media player control buttons allow full management camera settings without revealing the phone. Potential same external display is sufficient for a normal display menu. However, if you want more detailed images, nobody prevents disclose apparatus and take advantage of all the beauty of the internal screen. But in this case, the developers did not quite logical manner. In disclosed half the screen and the camera takes landscape orientation, and keep the phone becomes very uncomfortable. For the N93, such a provision was in the order of things so well, because there was a turning display. In addition, access to the camera settings menu occurs through soft keys, and clicking on them will only occur if both hands hold smartphone. Well, you can see, the developers decided not to finalize the interface to the model, which will be sold only in America. But set the camera is very rich and consistent with that of Nokia N93/N93i. It is worth recalling that the Nokia N93 camera settings ideology was sent to the user is not conceived of the installation, and deepened in the process of shooting.The final result can be attributed to the average level. Images is not a lot of detail not bad and claims not to color. Dynamic range camera is small, so that surveying contrast objects need to be careful. Of course, the video camera is able to withdraw. In this configuration the same as described above, but only two are available authorization shooting: 176 h144 and 352 х288 pixels. Video is recorded in MP4. On the screen PC commercials look very good. Video plays smoothly and without falls.
