Awesome phone, short battery life though

I've been looking for a phone that worked well with my Mac. I use Macs for both home and business and need to synchronize my contacts and calendar with my mobile phone. All other mobiles I've tried and used (not too extensive but quite a few) either don't sync at all or truncate my data after synchronization or even worse, they truncate then reformat the data and it corrupts the data on my Mac. Frustrated after many attempts to find the right phone, I came across the Nokia N75 on a Mac web site and learned that Nokia advocates working with iSync (Mac's built-in synchronization tool) and even provides drivers for the phone to be used on the Mac with iSync.

All in all, I found that the N75 not only keeps ALL of my data from my calendar items (iCal) and Address Book but synchronizing is really simple and painless. Using the phone is a bit more comprehensive and took some getting use to but once I learned how to use it, I can't be happier with the phone.

The only drawback this phone has is its short battery life. I found that on a full charge, I can get maybe 2 hours of talk time in a day and by 5:00 PM, I'm needing to charge the phone again. So, I'm on a search for high-capacity batteries or stand-alone battery chargers so I can keep spare batteries handy. I'm also making sure I have chargers available too so I can keep it charged. I have a charger at home, one in my laptop bag and one in my car so for now, I just need to be sure before I take a call that I'm not shy of battery power.

Nice work Nokia but please beef up the battery solution! THANKS!

Nokia N75 Phone (AT&T)
As a phone, which is the sole reason for my purchase of the N75, call quality is very good and it picks up a signal well (much better than my wife's Samsung, also with AT&T). However, I have had a problem--there have been three times in three weeks where I have answered or made a call and the person on the other end couldn't hear me. The problem persisted for several trial calls I made immediately afterward. I had to turn the phone off and on to get the microphone to work again.

I exchanged the phone and the new one did the same thing--once in the week that I have used it. Nokia was not aware of a microphone problem, but I did read another Amazon review where a person had the same problem, even with a replacement. It may be a design flaw that is exposed because of the way I use the phone, which is about 90% loudspeaker use on calls (I shouldn't speculate on a cause, but that is the only thing I do differently than most people).

Other than that one problem, I like the phone very much and am going to keep it. However, it will be frustrating when I have an important call and the person on the other end says "hello...hello...anyone there?", and hangs up, even though I'm yelling "hello, hello, can you hear me?". Obviously they can't, so I'll turn the phone off and on and call them again.

My first flip phone

I hesitated to abandon my Nokia candy bar phone. It was so easy to pull out and use. But I needed an FM radio, and when this combination radio/phone came out I jumped ship. It's thin for a flip. Pocketable (which is how I usually carry mine).

I'm pleased with the N75. I use it primarily as a phone, messaging device, and radio. Which is a polite way of confessing that I am still a luddite when compared to some of the electronic whizzes out there. Still, here are my thoughts:

POP port: My initial hate of the POP port has converted to love. I like how it blocks dirt and lint, and adds sleekness to the phone. My headset stays firmly attached, even when I stick the phone in my pocket with the cord attached.

Camera: lower color quality than I expected. It's really just a party-cam in the grand scheme of things over here. And even then, there's a long delay between pressing the button and image capture.

Radio: Love the FM radio. All phones should have it. I can listen to morning NPR on the train now. And my gym requires an FM radio for the television audio.

Also: made in Finland . . . just like old times.
