The battery life is incredible, one charge can last two days. This phone has an incredible camera (2mp) the video recording is splendid. The texting is a little difficult to get used to but after a little while you get the hang of it. The speaker phone during a call is very loud and clear sounding. The music player is one of the best I've ever had on a phone.I highly recommend this phone.
It feels as if it can come apart any day.6. But then again, it is not a singular characteristic to N75.2. Now it hardly lasts 15 minutes. Nokia maps was the only non-trivial app that I found useful. Text to Speech - quite helpful.
Even Nokia can produce worthless products. I am completely disappointed with this entire deal. Actually I am surprised that it has lasted this long. This will also not satisfy a (regular) non-smartphone customer. Flip fold - flimsy. 3G - lets face it, for voice transmission this is useless.
I bought this with AT&T 2 yr contract. So, I've those experiences in my mind while commenting on this.Pros:1. Power consumption / battery life - simple horrible. Camera - for a 2 MP camera it sucked.5. Much better than my other non-Nokia phones.One may wish to include such features as, pdf reader, flash player, real player, FM radio, Lifeblog, 3D Tones,.as pros. This speaks out the caller's name.3. Hence, to me they are all superfluous.Cons:1. Sound volume - very good - whether it was through the earpiece or the speaker.
I have used, Sony Erricson T610 + TMobile, Nokia 6600 + TMobile, and Moto Razr V3 + TMobile, in the past. The hands-free mode, thankfully, works still.4. Those with "data transmission" needs might have found some use of it. No updates, no improvements.All in all, this was an extremely cheap stint at a poorman's smartphone in US. But frankly, I never used them.
With only 1 yr of nokia warranty, I am stuck with this power hungry brick for another 9 months.2. Firmware - Nokia, after having realized the "bastard" nature of this product, abandoned it. It is 1 yr and 3 months now. Weight - on the higher end of the scale.8. But with no way to turn off 3G, the battery life was greatly reduced.7. I can ascribe call quality to AT&T. This phone is for no one.What I learnt. Bluetooth - The 'file transmission' mode for bluetooth stopped working after few months.
Maps - nice. This will certainly not satisfy a smartphone customer. The new battery used to last only about 90 minutes of talktime. Reception quality - I don't know if this should be blamed on AT&T but I did experience a decent number of dropped calls.3. But for others, it is Nokia to blame. For the future: I'll switch back to TMobile (or Verizon) and hunt a phone for its core purpose and not for fancy features.
Call quality is great, I haven't had any issues with battery time, I generally charge it nightly but occasionally skip a day and don't have any problems. My only complaints about this phone are the music player that I never use and can't get rid of, that gets activated fairly often by the keys on the outside of the phone. The finish on the outside is still flawless, the buttons inside and out still shine. I tote this thing around in my pocket, which certainly isn't the best way to go, but it has held up marvelously. I've had this phone for a year now and still absolutely love it. I am hoping this one lasts me for years to come, as I think I'd be hard pressed to find a better flip phone out there. I've packed a slew of e-books onto the memory card and have something to read no matter where I am. My most used add-ons are e-book readers.
You have to use the power button and then scroll down to choose the key lock, a hassle to do every time. My favorite feature of course is that it uses the Symbian OS so there are lots and lots of options for software add-ons for this phone. It has been such a huge improvement in all ways compared to the motorolla I had previously. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to automatically lock these keys when the flip is closed. I love the keypad on this phone, the buttons are big and smooth, I have large hands and can text at the speed of light with this phone, just quickly sliding my thumb over the smooth surface of the keys and giving the slightest press to each before moving on. From file managers, to personal accounting programs. All-in-all a wonderfully solid, quality, useful phone with open ended possibilities for features to add-on.
CONS - Camera is almost not worth using. Also the SIM card would "pop" out of it's place which would cause me too loose service randomly. The software is easy to navigate and it has many features. I'm on my 3rd one of these and I'm worried the same problem I had with the previous two will happen to my final replacement under warranty. I could almost handle this before it stated doing the same thing the first phone did. I missed several phone calls because of this.
MAJOR PROBLEMS.1st Phone - The phone despite being careful and having no damage would shut itself off.
Slow shutter times and pictures that are worse than what I can manage with my old school RAZR.
Usually when you close a flip phone the call will end or begin when you open it.
PROS - The phone is very sturdy and has a very good user interface.
I called AT&T and had the phone replaced.2nd Phone - Almost right off the bat the phone had problems.
Phone gets hot after a decent length conversation.
Tied to charger for conversations lasting more than 45 minutes.
About half the time it would not do what it was supposed to do even after verifying the settings were properly set.
3rd Phone - No problems as of yet and keeping my fingers crossed because only a month left on warranty.
I'm hardly a power-user; all I really need a phone for is for talking. Color me surprised when I forgot to charge the battery one evening and the phone died the next afternoon; I couldn't have talked more than 45 minutes in total. Simply atrocious battery life; it's far worse than my three-year-old Motorola, which it replaced. I really regret this purchase.
