Nokia has announced the N75, a slim clamshell device, aimed initially at the US market. The cover display can also act as your window on your music collection, with dedicated hardware controls. The full press release follows.

It's a pity that this phone is only being equiped with a 2MP camera.
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.
Nope, this doesn't have Wifi.
"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?
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
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.
