Never mind the fact that they’re just doing it to get free publicity and a head start on pre-orders, we absolutely love it when retailers give it to the manufacturers in the junk and out the specs of their phones just days before they’re official. Expansys is no stranger to this process and has done it again with the Nokia E75. We’ve seen the E75 countless times before and while we want it for reasons we can’t really describe we’re now in a position to say that the E75 won’t suffice to stave off our hunger for the upcoming N97. Why? High cost, a tiny display and poor screen resolution will do the trick every time. If you’re an S60 nut however, chances are you’re going to love what the E75 has got:
- Quad-band GSM / EDGE, dual-band HSDPA (900/2100) at 3.6Mbps
- 2.4″ 240×320 QVGA display
- 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus, digital zoom, LED flash
- 30FPS QVGA video recording
- aGPS
- WiFi
- FM radio
- microSDHC
- 3.5mm headset, Bluetooth 2.0, microUSB
- Nokia Maps, PDF Document Viewer, ZIP File Manager
- Dual home screen (work/personal)
- 1000 mAh battery
- 630 mins talk, 408 hrs stand-by time
So what’s all of this going to cost? Early estimates are that the E75 will ship on March 13 for £389.99 SIM-free ($580 USD) or free on select tariffs from T-Mobile UK. Fail.
