Vodafone UK also announced no price has yet been quoted for this Nokia masterpiece but there is no doubt that the price won’t stop the new generation netizens from purchasing it.

Nokia today unveiled the new addition to its Eseries range, Nokia E75. Nokia, the world leader in mobility industry, has finally launched one of their latest additions to the E-Series range of business class mobile phone, the Nokia E75 with Nokia Messaging Service (push email)m, which mobilizes email solutions on Nokia mobile.

The Nokia E75 mobile is the first mobile from Nokia's stable to offers complete integration of email and messaging services. THe Nokia E75 Slider Mobile also provides an easy 3 step process for instant email set up and supports upto 16 email accounts.

Speaking at the launch, Vineet Taneja, Marketing Director, Nokia India said, "Business mobility is now a necessity. The prosumers and enterprises in India are fast realizing that mobile business solutions can help provide a competitive advantage. The power-packed Nokia E75 with Nokia Messaging Service is the definite efficiency tool that offers the complete mobile email functionality and gives consumers an enriched and easy to use email experience while on the move. Connecting to and using email now on will be as easy as using SMS giving people the choice of applications they want to use and when they want to use."

The stylish Nokia E75 mobile offers the best-in class corporate and consumer email experience via pre installed Nokia Messaging push email service.The Nokia E75 mobile boasts full desktop email functionality along with both standard keypad and QWERTY keypad to give an ease-of use experience to consumers across categories.

The Nokia E75 isn't quite as loaded with features as expected, as for starters it only supports 3.6Mbit HSDPA which is not exactly cutting edge by today's standards. As this is primarily a business mobile, the 320x240 resolution display is somewhat disappointing, although we can't complain too much about the 3.2 Megapixel camera considering the target market.

However, things improve from here as Nokia has managed to add both WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 and aGPS support.

Nokia E75 mobile supports MP3, AAC, Nokia podcast and Windows Media Player. The player is also compatible with polyphonic, MP3, video and talking ringtones. The phone also incorporates Ovi services, Nokia Maps and Nokia's games service N-Gage

Nokia E75 mobile has a built in FM radio, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microUSB connector (that's smaller than the normal mini USB), a microSDHC card slot and a forward facing camera for video calls. Software feature include Nokia maps, dual home screens (as per the E71) and office document viewers.

The Nokia E75 offers quad band GSM and dual band WCDMA (900/2100MHz), so it should work in most of the world which makes it a decent handset for those that travel a lot.

However, it seems like Nokia has decided to go with a mere 1,000mAh batter, compared to a 1,500mAh battery for the Nokia E71 which will most likely mean fairly poor battery life for the Nokia E75.



Nokia E75 and Nokia Messaging Service:

* The Nokia E75 will support all features of Nokia Messaging Service - an array of third party email solutions, namely Gmail, Yahoo, Rediffmail, Sify, Indiatimes, Net4, Hotmail and In.com amongst others, thereby providing direct access to over 90 percent of the world's corporate inboxes as well.
* It supports consumer friendly intuitive user interface that offers two customizable home screen modes for business as well as personal mode.
* Nokia E75 displays alerts for upto two email accounts on the home screen, ensures quick navigation and switching between email accounts and displays the first line of the mail under the subject line.

Its other features include -

* 2.4 inch TFT LCD (240 x 320 pixels)
* 3.5mm earphone socket
* MicroSD card support
* EDGE/GPRS, 3G with HSDPA
* Wi-Fi
* GPS with A-GPS support
* Stereo Bluetooth and USB 2.0 (micro)
* 3.2MP autofocus camera with LED flash
* Stereo FM radio



The Nokia E75 will be available at an MRP of Rs. 26, 299 (including an 8GB memory card) in two colors - silver black and red.

The Nokia E75 Mobile Phone has arrived in stores, bringing the company's best efficiency and productivity solution to the market. The new arrival of Nokia E75 mobile is the first device to ship with the new email user interface, offering full desktop email functionality, and complete integration of Nokia's email and messaging services.

Made from the quality materials one expects from Nokia E series mobile phone, the Nokia E75 mobile has a slide out QWERTY keyboard and efficient three-step email setup. This simplicity is achieved with the integration of Nokia Messaging, which ships with a device for the first time in the Nokia E75. Nokia Messaging is a service that opens up the world's leading consumer email accounts - including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail and Windows Live Hotmail - and is joined by Nokia's corporate email clients, Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveler, which provide direct access to over 90 percent of the world's corporate inboxes as well.

The richer email experience in the Nokia E75 brings all of the owner's accounts into one simple to access and easy to use UI, which supports the most common features for desktop email including expanding views, one click reply and sub-folder and HTML support. Added to the enhanced email functionality, upgraded personal information management features such as the ability to create and respond to meeting requests, and contacts lookup and auto-complete, also make their debut in the Nokia E75 mobile.The Nokia E75 mobile also integrates tightly to other Ovi services and ships with Ovi Files, for storing files online, Nokia Maps, which works with the onboard A-GPS, and Nokia's games service N-Gage which is supported for the first time in a Nokia E series mobile phones.

Nokia N97, the world's most advanced mobile computer, which will transform the way people connect to the Internet and to each other. Designed for the needs of Internet-savvy consumers, the Nokia N97 combines a large 3.5" touch display with a full QWERTY keyboard, providing an 'always open' window to favorite social networking sites and Internet destinations. Nokia's flagship N series device introduces leading technology - including multiple sensors, memory, processing power and connection speeds - for people to create a personal Internet and share their 'social location.'

The Nokia N97 supports up to 48 GB of storage, including 32 GB of on-board memory, expandable with a 16 GB microSD card for music, media and more. This is complemented by excellent music capabilities, full support for the Nokia Music Store and continuous playback time of up to 1.5 days. The Nokia N97 also has a 5-Megapixel camera with high-quality Carl Zeiss optics, 16:9 and DVD quality video capture, and support for services like Share on Ovi for immediate sharing over HSDPA and WLAN.

The Nokia N97 is not unusually large, small, or out of the ordinary in the way of dimensions. As a phone with a sliding keyboard, it is a little thicker than phones that do not have a physical keyboard - but it is directly comparable to the thickness of phones of the same type. It is just under 16 mm thick for the most part, to give you an idea of how this phone would feel in your pocket. In addition to this thickness, the camera area will jut out another 2 mm or so. In your hand, the phone feels very well balanced, and does not seem too large or small in any way. While it may not be the most comfortable phone to carry around in your pocket all day due to the thickness, that is about the only gripe one could come up with as far as size is concerned.
