What is it:
Smartphone with slide-out Qwerty keyboard

Typical price:
£330

We like:
Compact size; familiar user interface; option of two homescreens; clear screen; wi-fi connectivity; good email support; full Qwerty keyboard; Ovi Store application

We don't like:
Tightly packed keys; no easy access to numbers on the Qwerty keyboard; no syncing for Macs; user interface starting to look tired; Nokia Maps underperforms

The judgement:
The Nokia E75 squeezes a slide-out Qwerty keyboard into a solid phone that's as compact as a candybar. Inside, Nokia has stuck to what it does best, with the powerful, familiar Symbian S60 operating system and a decent 3.2-megapixel camera. Newer features like the Ovi Store and Nokia Maps are still finding their feet, but there aren't any nasty surprises here - just a classically good phone with keyboards galore.
