Nokia N75 review
Nokia has introduced the Nokia N75, its smallest multimedia computer, offering digital music playback, quality photography, telephony and rich internet communication. The Nokia N75 provides a complete multimedia experience in a thin and elegant clamshell, while utilizing Nokia's renowned ease of use.
"By combining people's entertainment and leisure needs into the Nokia N75, Nokia is affecting the lifestyles of mobile device users in a positive way.
With all its features and beautiful design, the Nokia N75 keeps your life connected and it's far easier and more enjoyable to just have one device to carry around, and still keep ahead of the game!" said Nigel Rundstrom, vice president of Multimedia Sales for Nokia in North America.
The Nokia N75 music experience excels even with the device closed. The digital music player has easy controls on the cover of the device, and the reflective 1.36" color cover display guides you to your music, which is always just a button press away. Supporting a multitude of different formats, including MP3, M4A, AAC, eAAC+ and WMA, the advanced digital music player includes an equalizer, playlist, shuffle and repeat features for a direct connection to compatible online music services. When you connect the Nokia N75 to your compatible PC, a mere tap on the music key acts as an instant link to music stored. The PC-mobile synchronization redirects your favorite tunes straight to the Nokia N75, which can store up to 1,500 individual tracks on an optional 2GB microSD card. In addition to playing downloaded music and ripped cds, the Nokia N75 also includes a stereo FM radio, allowing you to listen to your favorite talk or music radio stations through your compatible headphones or through the integrated 3D stereo speakers.
The highly intuitive Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map delivers desired Web pages with their original design directly to the high-resolution color display (320 x 240 pixels, up to 16 million colors). Furthermore, the browser enables RSS feeds, so users can subscribe to their favorite Web sites and receive regular updates. Keeping in touch with friends is just as easy as from your home computer, but the Nokia N75 is always with you - just follow simple set up prompts to access an existing compatible email account or standard SMS and MMS features. Part of the Nokia Nseries multimedia computers, the Nokia N75 offers great functionality in one beautifully shaped connected device. Designed to work on 3G (WCDMA 850/1900 MHz), EDGE and GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) networks, the Nokia N75 provides a fantastic Web browsing experience.
The N75 is only the second straight clamshell N-Series handset and is the first N-Series handset directly targeted at the US market.

The Nokia N900 For $542.59
Prices for Nokia’s N900 mega-smartphone are dropping fast, and the phone hasn’t even been released! You can choose to preorder the N900 at NokiaUSA for the retail price of $649.00 (+ tax but you get a free Bluetooth headset), you can preorder the phone at Amazon for $582.99, OR you can now get it from Buy.com for $542.58. Yep, $542.58.
Let’s see how the math works out.
Buy.com Price: $559.99
4% Bing Cashback: -$22.40
2-Day Shipping: +$5.49 (you can opt for regular shipping for 4.99)
—
= $542.59 with 2-day shipping.
How to Get the Deal
You’ll need to go through Bing.com first: Direct Link or go through Bing Cashback (click on the B link to show all stores that start with B, then scroll down to the bottom)
After you either create a Bing cashback account or login with your current account, it’ll take you to the Buy.com home page. Just search for “nokia n900″ and it should be the first result.
Like other retailers, Buy.com hasn’t provided a release date. Note that if you preordered through Amazon you can still easily cancel it.
This may or may not be worth it for you. Amazon’s customer service and return policy is legendary, while Buy.com’s cs department isn’t quite as highly regarded (reseller rating of 4.17/10 compared to Amazon’s 6.51). I already preordered it at Amazon, so I have to admit it’s tempting.
Nokia E90 Mobile Review
Nokia E90 Communicator is a 3G smartphone made by Nokia and the latest model of the Communicator series. It was announced in February 2007 at the 3GSM show in Barcelona.
The first Nokia E90 unit was sold in an auction in Jakarta, Indonesia on May 17, 2007 for Rp. 45,000,000 (5,000 US$).[1] Indonesia being one of the largest market share for Nokia's communicator series is cited as a reason for the unit's first launch location.[2]
E90 starts the fifth generation of Nokia's communicators, and also introduces a new platform to Nokia's communicator line, Series 60 v3. Previous communicators have been based on either GeOS or Series 80. E90 is also the first Nokia communicator to have UMTS/HSDPA connectivity and integrated GPS. It features OSGi and eRCP, Eclipse RCP for embedded systems.
Early user-feedback and reviews highlighted a defect in the microphone of Nokia E90. According to a review on consumer review website MouthShut.com,[3] the Nokia E90 was recalled from dealers as a result of the problem. This resulted in delivery delays worldwide. Nokia initially denied the existence of the defect, but it was later acknowledged by Nokia Europe, and addressed in the Q3 earnings report released on October 18, 2007,[4] stating that the issue has now been fully resolved. Early phones sold in Belgium offered a choice of English, Dutch or Romanian but not French language.
Firmware version 7.40.1.2, released in late October 2007, added support for A-GPS, intended to enhance GPS performance in poor signal conditions, such as in city streets overshadowed by buildings. This version also upgraded the Maps application. As of June 2009[update] the most recent firmware version is 400.34.93.
By new firmwares, some users experience Bluetooth, wlan and radio problems. Some users report that , after installing new firmwares, bluetooth can not be turned on, wlan can not find access points and radio reboots device whenever turned on. Nokia does not accept this problem. The devices under garanty coverage are replaced by Nokia but, others are solutionless and can not be repaired. For reference please google "E90 Bluetooth problem"
