Steve's Friday Buying Tip (SFBT, should maybe be a regular feature?!): I thought you'd like to know that the all-rounder (qwerty) Nokia E75 smartphone, liked by all the All About Symbian team [it's grown a lot on me, incidentally - see the next Phones Show for comment!] is now on sale at Expansys, reduced from the RRP of £379 inc VAT to a much better value £299 inc VAT, SIM free. See also our review of the E75.
Read on in the full article.
The E75 at �299 will prove a very tempting alternative to those wanting a good all rounder with an emphasis on productivity. I have yet to decide on whether I could work with a keyapd that small, but I am sure with practice I could familiarise myself better.
Incidentally there is another absolute bargain within the E series at the present time. The outstanding E51 is now �154.99 from Nokia online in the UK which when you consider its potential and build quality is a great deal. I think the price of this wi-fi HSDPA smartphone may even drop further once the E52 hits the shelves later this year. (I recently asked Nokia UK as to when the E52 would arrive, but Nokia UK still don't know.)
Interestingly, the E75's qwerty keyboard is significantly bigger than that on the E90 - counter intuitive, but you go measure it etc!!
I feel sorry for you guys (people in Europe). I ordered the Sim free E75 NAM version from Nokia USA website last saturday for $295.38 (tax and shipping included). Can't wait to see it in person on Monday.
