All the music, imaging and Internet functionality of Nokia Nseries in a sleek folding design
Nokia Open Studio 2006, New York, US - Nokia today 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. 
Soundtrack to your life
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.**

It's a pity that this phone is only being equiped with a 2MP camera.
krisse
Phones in America tend to have poorer specifications than in Europe or Asia, and this model is aimed at the US (at least to begin with) so they probably felt 2mp was good enough for that market.

Guys,

Does the N75 support WiFi connectivity?

That's really gonna be the deal breaker for me in buying it.
jukkaeklund
Nope, this doesn't have Wifi.
krisse
"Nope, this doesn't have Wifi."

Again, sounds like the American market has affected this decision. The E61 only got released in America (as the E62) with the wifi removed, presumably because the network operators didn't like wifi taking away their call and data revenues.

Does anyone know when the N75 will be released to Cingular customers?
Unregistered
Probably in the next quarter, I have one now that's Cingular branded but I got it from a friend who works at Nokia, but the fact that they're giving it out to their employees ready to go points to a close release date
Unregistered
Here is the response that I got from a
Cingular product manager.

The version for retail and agents will be released in late April/early May timeframe. There is a national retail version that is hitting soon in Best Buy’s, the version we (Cingular Stores) get will have an updated easier to use menu system.
