Nokia E75 launched in India

[hotshot05]

Just read that the Nokia E75 has been launched in India. Read the press report here: Techtree.com India > News > Consumer Electronics > Nokia E75 Smartphone Launched in India

But there is some bad news for those like me who were hoping that this phone would start selling cheap, its MRP is Rs.26299.

I think that my hopes of grabbing a 5730XM just after it hits the shelf will be dashed. I dont think its MRP wont be any lower than the E75.

Launch price is way too high for this poor man's E90!

Something ~ 22k would have been sufficient.

The dealer near my place said 24.5k with free pen and cheaper if you dont want the pen

btw... intitial reviews say phone is crap

 

[Nemesis_41]

Price i got without the Pen is 23999 :| from my NPD Dealer, it can come down if more people wanna buy it.

GSMArena Gave it a 7 rating.

What i dont get is.. SonyEricsson phones have Absolutely nothing new.. and they still get 9+ ratings almost everywhere.

Where as the E97 does look to be a better option @ 37kapprox. :rofl:

 

[MohitPreet]

those who cant afford the phone will say that its crap..

i also say that its crap...

btw... intitial reviews say phone is crap

Which reviews are calling the phone crap?

 

[VaRz]

It's not a crap phone but its not worth the money...

 

[teche]

E75 has all the features of typical E-Series phones + Qwerty keyboard.
Camera isn't great which is understandable for it being a business solution.

Prices have come down & vary from 22-23k.

 

[IceFusion]

the reviews from the users actually..... couple of friends have used it.... dont like it

And why exactly do they not like it? I mean something wrong with the hardware, software? Or the huge form factor not going down with them.

 

[Nemesis_41]

@ ice.. yeah but why? can we have more specific reasons?

 

[Harpy.eagle]

at least specs (specifically ram) is much less than E71 so other than good keyboard this phone has nothing special.. rather it could be worse, i think

 

[IceFusion]

well... apparently few of the things are as folliows

D pad too crowded for comfortable use

QWERTY keyboard,keys are sticked together too much and one ends up pressing the other key due to the size...

Screen not really upto the mark...

Phone getting laggy at random in between

These are common for many phones!
Nothing striking that would make a case against the Phone!
