Nokia E75 NAM hits the US flagship stores

If you're up for a trip to New York or Chicago (both are lovely this time of year), you now have a shot at scoring the North American version of Nokia's landscape QWERTY slider, the E75. Of course, "scoring" costs you $529.99 in this case -- and you can only get it in black right now -- but if you spend a lot of time in the seedier parts of either of these towns, the concept of scoring for several hundred dollars should be very familiar.

I've been playing with a pre-production E75 NAM for a bit over a week - it's a solid classic high-end Nokia: http://tnkgrl.wordpress.com/category/e75/

If this had a touchscreen, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I'm tired of a billion iPhone lookalikes -- new form factor, please!

Buy a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic then! ;-)

Meh -- I want a touchscreen with numbers on the outside and a sliding QWERTY. Only the Samsung i760 has that, but the numbers are all off to the side and Verizon service stinks in my area (already tried it). Still wishing my dream form factor into being... :)

touch screen is overrated

I know that it's big, but I still think that the older Nokia Communicators had the right form factor. I still use a 9500 and although it's on its last legs, it's a very good keyboard for writing and it has a good size screen. I'm hoping that the N97 will be a good replacement.

I think you might need the E90.
