The music player is one of the best I've ever had on a phone.I highly recommend this phone. The battery life is incredible, one charge can last two days. This phone has an incredible camera (2mp) the video recording is splendid. The texting is a little difficult to get used to but after a little while you get the hang of it. The speaker phone during a call is very loud and clear sounding.
With only 1 yr of nokia warranty, I am stuck with this power hungry brick for another 9 months.2. Those with "data transmission" needs might have found some use of it. Nokia maps was the only non-trivial app that I found useful. Power consumption / battery life - simple horrible. I am completely disappointed with this entire deal. It feels as if it can come apart any day.6. Now it hardly lasts 15 minutes.
I can ascribe call quality to AT&T. The new battery used to last only about 90 minutes of talktime. Camera - for a 2 MP camera it sucked.5. Text to Speech - quite helpful. This will also not satisfy a (regular) non-smartphone customer.
For the future: I'll switch back to TMobile (or Verizon) and hunt a phone for its core purpose and not for fancy features. But for others, it is Nokia to blame. This will certainly not satisfy a smartphone customer. Sound volume - very good - whether it was through the earpiece or the speaker. Flip fold - flimsy. But then again, it is not a singular characteristic to N75.2. The hands-free mode, thankfully, works still.4.
No updates, no improvements.All in all, this was an extremely cheap stint at a poorman's smartphone in US. Hence, to me they are all superfluous.Cons:1. I have used, Sony Erricson T610 + TMobile, Nokia 6600 + TMobile, and Moto Razr V3 + TMobile, in the past. Weight - on the higher end of the scale.8. It is 1 yr and 3 months now. Actually I am surprised that it has lasted this long. Maps - nice.
Firmware - Nokia, after having realized the "bastard" nature of this product, abandoned it. Even Nokia can produce worthless products. This phone is for no one.What I learnt. Bluetooth - The 'file transmission' mode for bluetooth stopped working after few months. So, I've those experiences in my mind while commenting on this.Pros:1.
This speaks out the caller's name.3. Reception quality - I don't know if this should be blamed on AT&T but I did experience a decent number of dropped calls.3. But with no way to turn off 3G, the battery life was greatly reduced.7. But frankly, I never used them. I bought this with AT&T 2 yr contract.
Much better than my other non-Nokia phones.One may wish to include such features as, pdf reader, flash player, real player, FM radio, Lifeblog, 3D Tones,.as pros. 3G - lets face it, for voice transmission this is useless.
My most used add-ons are e-book readers. You have to use the power button and then scroll down to choose the key lock, a hassle to do every time. From file managers, to personal accounting programs.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to automatically lock these keys when the flip is closed. I tote this thing around in my pocket, which certainly isn't the best way to go, but it has held up marvelously. All-in-all a wonderfully solid, quality, useful phone with open ended possibilities for features to add-on. I love the keypad on this phone, the buttons are big and smooth, I have large hands and can text at the speed of light with this phone, just quickly sliding my thumb over the smooth surface of the keys and giving the slightest press to each before moving on. It has been such a huge improvement in all ways compared to the motorolla I had previously. The finish on the outside is still flawless, the buttons inside and out still shine. My favorite feature of course is that it uses the Symbian OS so there are lots and lots of options for software add-ons for this phone. I've packed a slew of e-books onto the memory card and have something to read no matter where I am.
I am hoping this one lasts me for years to come, as I think I'd be hard pressed to find a better flip phone out there. I've had this phone for a year now and still absolutely love it. Call quality is great, I haven't had any issues with battery time, I generally charge it nightly but occasionally skip a day and don't have any problems. My only complaints about this phone are the music player that I never use and can't get rid of, that gets activated fairly often by the keys on the outside of the phone.
CONS - Camera is almost not worth using. MAJOR PROBLEMS.1st Phone - The phone despite being careful and having no damage would shut itself off. Also the SIM card would "pop" out of it's place which would cause me too loose service randomly. Tied to charger for conversations lasting more than 45 minutes.
3rd Phone - No problems as of yet and keeping my fingers crossed because only a month left on warranty. About half the time it would not do what it was supposed to do even after verifying the settings were properly set. Usually when you close a flip phone the call will end or begin when you open it. PROS - The phone is very sturdy and has a very good user interface. The software is easy to navigate and it has many features. Phone gets hot after a decent length conversation. I missed several phone calls because of this.
I could almost handle this before it stated doing the same thing the first phone did. I'm on my 3rd one of these and I'm worried the same problem I had with the previous two will happen to my final replacement under warranty. Slow shutter times and pictures that are worse than what I can manage with my old school RAZR. I called AT&T and had the phone replaced.2nd Phone - Almost right off the bat the phone had problems.
Color me surprised when I forgot to charge the battery one evening and the phone died the next afternoon; I couldn't have talked more than 45 minutes in total. I really regret this purchase. I'm hardly a power-user; all I really need a phone for is for talking. Simply atrocious battery life; it's far worse than my three-year-old Motorola, which it replaced.
