In a nutshell: The Nokia E75 is a very impressive device. It's surprisingly compact and is usable either as a normal phone with a good-sized display and keypad, or with its slide-out QWERTY keyboard in landscape mode. With email facilities rivalling anything from BlackBerry, plus top-notch security features and a wealth of applications, this has everything that the business user should need. Features include A-GPS, WiFi, HSDPA, a full web browser, 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, MP3 player, FM radio and up to 16GB of memory. Available in Silver Black, Red or Copper Yellow.

The Nokia E75 is a business phone with a lot to offer. The E75 is described by Nokia as a slide slide phone, meaning that it has a full QWERTY keyboard that slides out to the side. Surprisingly compact when the slide is closed, it's a very usable design, working as a normal phone when you want it to, and as a mini-laptop when required.

When the keyboard is closed, the Nokia E75 seems to be a perfectly normal phone, although certainly heavier than average at 139g. The numeric keypad is small but well laid out with dedicated one-touch keys for home, calendar and email. The display is quite large at 2.4 inches, and is very clear with 16 million colours and QVGA resolution (240 x 320 pixels). Two customisable home screens are available - one for business, one for personal use. When you need to use the full keyboard - for texting or emails - you just slide it out, turn the phone on its side, and you have a very comfortable QWERTY keyboard available for text entry. The display automatically rotates to landscape mode too.

Naturally, the E75 excels at mobile email. Most protocols are supported, including Mail for Exchange, and of course attachments can be viewed on the phone.

The E75 runs the latest version of Symbian (9.3) and the S60 3rd Edition user interface. There are quite a few apps installed - Quickoffice (Quickword, Quickpoint, Quicksheet), PDF Viewer, ZIP Manager, RealPlayer and Nokia Maps to name a few - and plenty more available to download. The contacts database is extensive and supports multiple number and e-mail details per contact and contacts with images. The phone is multi-tasking, so PIM data is available to view during calls. A-GPS is included, with Nokia maps and automatic geo-tagging of photos.

Recognising that users will want to store a lot of personal or business data on this kind of phone, Nokia have helpfully installed a high level of security on the E75. As well as locking the phone, the user can protect data on both the phone's internal memory and any microSD card by encryption. This means that if the phone falls into the wrong hands, it will be impossible to read any of the data on the device without knowing the encryption key. This is the kind of security that we normally see only on laptops. The WLAN connection is fully secure too.

The web browser is quite powerful, with support for CSS, JavaScript and Flash Lite 3.0. Browsing is fast with HSDPA enabling download speeds up to 3.6 Mbps. The screen is an acceptable size for web browsing, although it can't compare with some of the touchscreen smartphones. The internal phone memory is quite limited at just 50 MB, but the phone does have the capability to accept microSD cards up to a massive 16GB. A 4GB card is included in the sales package.

Outside work, the E75 caters for all modern needs. The camera is surprisingly good, with a 3.2 megapixel resolution, flash and autofocus. The video camera is also high quality, and a secondary front camera enables video calling. The music player supports all common formats, and the phone has an FM radio too. A standard Nokia stereo headset is included in the sales package, and you can plug your own headphones into the 3.5mm AV jack. Bluetooth and USB connectivity are supported, in addition to WLAN.

The E75 is the kind of phone that cannot fail to impress. The road warrior is really not missing anything with this device, and the design makes it very easy to use - although obviously it's not the kind of phone to give to your Grandma! The combination of user-friendly design, slide-out keyboard, excellent email, security and general all-round capability make this an outstanding business device. Of course, there's always more that we'd like - more juice in the battery and a slightly larger screen perhaps, but that would make the phone bigger and heavier, and we think that Nokia have got the balance just right in this respect. Nokia are making very determined inroads into BlackBerry's home territory and with the E75 we think that they have created a real masterpiece.
