C|Net reviews the N75: Was it worth the wait? Meh

Stefan Constantinescu

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.

  “Also, we found it a bit awkward to take pictures using the internal display as your viewfinder”..

  Nice job? You use the external display as your viewfinder..

  Also, saying as a bad point: “There’s no HSDPA support, Wi-Fi, or GPS.”
  Ok, I could MAYBE give that HSDPA would have been nice, but to complain about it not having WiFI and GPS is just utter bullshit! Does she not freaking realise that its ALL about price point and trying to balance features that can be afforded at that price point? Does she really think that a phone with all those things would be now selling at $50 (!!!!!) with 2 year contract. Get a life Bonnie and get professional beyond staring at specs.

  PS. people on Howardsforum do seem to have had differing experiences with battery life. Some say its fine, others have had bad experiences.

  Cnet’s mobile phone reviews aren’t that great. PC Mag (Sascha Segan) does a much better job. He also gives the N75 a so-so review.

  Sascha’s is much better yes, but it sounds like he _might_ have had a faulty unit as other users are saying they are not having battery probles.

  Also, I don’t think 7 hours of music playback is “unacceptably short”..
