N75, started out ok for me, then, the slowness off just functions, it like hesitates before things pop up on your screen, other phone do not due that. Sometimes it gets stuck, and you have to wait for it or push more buttons for it to work again. also, the mps player was good, then while walking around in any pocket, it starts playing music, any where at any given time. No fucking keypad lock? WTF, I have never heard of a phone not being able to lock the outer key buttons, how dumb. also, the Camera & Video turm on automatically, and use up all your memory and battery, not knowing this, you go to use you phone and you have taken 1GB of pictures and video of inside your f pocket, how dumb again. I am so pissed that I am going to make them change my phone out for no cost. This is a shity design, has shity fuctionality, and will be suprised if this phone lasts long for Nokia. We all got had by this crap phone.

> In reply to Anonymous @ 2008-07-28 14:36 from jSEBWe have had 3 N75s and all do the same thing - turn themselves off with no warning. None of the phones have been dropped, and it doesn't matter whether or not the battery is fully charged. I've had these phones turn themselves off while they we sitting - untouched - on my desk. Nokia says they can't help - seems to be a problem with AT&T/Cingular software. AT&T is zero help - they just want to replace the (new) phones with rebuilt phones of the same model. (I've had 3 different new phones with the same problem - can someone in warranty/service explain exactly why I would want ANOTHER one?) AT&T won't let me trade for another model without paying retail less a minimal discount. Looks like I'm going to be out another $300/phone since I can't use phones that aren't dependable... I simply can't afford to mis one more emergency call because the #$*#*! turned itself off again.

Sorry, I don't have any answers for you - just wanted you to know you're not alone with this problem.

I've read several of the comments and I find that the N75 has some very nice features, but it also has a couple of issues.

I love the menu set up and the ease of use of the MP3 player.

I find the battery life to be poor, uh, very poor in comparison to my last Nokia. I am not a heavy talker, but this phone's battery life is very, very short! I have to charge it almost every day, even without listening to my music, or using bluetooth features. I really think that Nokia had some very good ideas with design of the user interface, but it sucks the battery dry. I have turned off the tab-top and that seems to help a little. If anyone has any other ideas to help preserve the battery life, please let me know! ;)

This is the worst phone I have ever owned, and do not recommend it to anyone. The phone turns itself off 2-3 times daily, sometimes more. I have missed very important phone calls because I don't realize that the phone is even off. MWhen my battery is completely charged, this still happens. I was on replacement #3 phone because AT&T thought it was just defective. However, it happened with all three phones. My Dad had the same phone and had the same problem with it. We just traded ours in because were both at our witts end!

I would not recommend this phone. I am on my third N75. The battery sucks, the camera is hard to use, the MP3 player button is too easy to activate, when not needed. Shuts off at times and does not turn off at times. Spend your money on a string and two tin cans....

> In reply to lalala @ 2008-06-21 04:11 from kA}TThe phones sound great; of course we all have our own opinions about anything we buy. Can an N75 owner tell me if there is a place to plug in an external antenna? Most of the phones I've had in the past will have a little round rubber removeable rubber plug and an external antenna (like a magnetic based antenna you would use in a vehicle). In the pictures I have seen, I can't tell for sure. Needless to say I live in an area where I don't get a good signal but a mile away from my home, I get a full signal. Thanks, anyone, for the information you might have.

This phone is pretty good. However, the battery is horrible, so i recommend that bluetooth users turn off the bluetooth function when not in use. In addition, i would recommend that it be kept in its belt hollister as much as possible; the very nice lcd cover sceen is easily broken. Other than that, the phone is nice, with many, many features.

AMAZING phone!!! Worth every penny!!! Don't listen to the reviewers that put this phone down. I have dropped this phone so many times on concrete, down stairs, in a pool, and it works perfectly! Camera is great! Service is fantastic. Internet is fast.

worst phone i have ever owned..Shuts off all the time..locks up all the time..hard to use. camera is a joke..not very easy to use, if fact it does not really have a dedicated camera button you have to designate one, pain to use, at least it doesnt drop calls..oh and its heavy, music buttons are very easy to bump. I would not buy one..

Same Here I got my phone replaced and it sucks cause I too have the tab feature and it is getting annoying but other than that its a pretty cool phone cause come on what other phone can read text messages to you if your lazy!? The music player is also really cool too.

When first got the phone through at&t loved it, it had almost all the feautres that wanted in a phone plus dont use. However broke it when I dropped it was replacce and not have the tab top feature on it and now it runs so slow, powers itself off, when turn the tab top off, works a little faster but still turns off. Tab top was the worst thing that could have been put on that phone reminds me of a lot of the sony ericssions.
