    What do you lads think of this phone? It has a grand keyboard by the look of it, anyone here used one yet? tis a bit expensive at the moment - just under 300 pound and the red one i want is hard to find, so might wait till after the summer

    Not had much experience with it. Keyboard looks uber fat finger friendly!

    Specs look decent enough

    Thought about it, but it seemed to be on Three only, and was fairly pricey. Looks the biz though/

    The good folk over at All About Symbian like it a lot ... "above average at everything" is how they describe it.

    For me the screen would be on the small side but if you do an amount of typing it may be the one for you

    nice. i thought it would be getting criticised because it is about as far away from an iPhone you could get in the 'smartphone' world

    they have em in 2 other colours. anything other than the black/silver one is going to be hard to find though. just like the red e51, e63

    Like another user mentioned, the screen is too small. Also, I prefer handsets with a slide-out keyboard to have a curve, so that the screen is at a better viewing angle e.g. Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1i, HTC Touch Pro2, Nokia N97 etc.

    too bad those are all touch screen. i like the Communicator series - had a 9500 back in the day. even the E90 isnt bad now, hope they make a new one like that.

    the E75 is like an E51 with a keyboard. i dunno i should almost get a E90 instead of E75

    Where did you find it for less than 300 pounds? Everywhere I have looked it is at least 350.

    btw, is it out on three yet? Haven't seen it instore on henry st or grafton st and it is not in the online shop.

    Well i been reading some more about this phone and it turns out there is no proper email client.

    There is only "Nokia messaging" which sends your password to Nokia and all your email goes through nokias server. it also turns out they are planning some deal with the operators to charge people separately for this service. the client itself is also a pile of ****e (i just installed it on my e51 to see what its like).

    what a let down, the ordinary nokia email client works well for me but the E75 doesn't have it by the look of things

    Edit: maybe not true, it might be possible to access email without Nokia's proxy but the client still sucks
