Is Nokia E75 a Worthy Upgrade to the E71?

is nokia going to release e71x in india? if yes, when?

I'd gone to buy a E71 but the keypad of the E75 is much better. E71 keypad is too small for writing emails. I also have a nokia E90 and i think the E75 is much better and lighter replacement for my older pencil box.

Very good and thorough review, thanks

"What's worse is that these keys have their own backlight, which only comes on in the camera application, but I cannot think of any logical reason why the backlighting in the volume keys don't come on in the music player or the FM radio. Is it more important to see the zoom keys in the dark or the volume keys? Well, apparently Nokia thinks so." This is wrong. Just put your left finger or whatever on the small light sensor to block it completely, and play with any key on the QWERTY keypad. It'll light up almost instantanouesly.

i have been using the phone for more than a month now... first of all the phone came with an 8gb micro sd card. I am a heavy user and on a single charge i got talk time and gprs browsing of more than 7 hours. the camera unlike u said is of much better quality than E-66 which i was using b4 E-75. the full QWERTY keyboard was much comfortable and easy to use despite my big fingers. while using the numeric pad i accidently open the calender app or contact app. after a week of its use i had some trouble with its sensor(tap to silent feature) when turned on the fone doesnt ring at all; but other wise i wud say is the best e series fone presntly available. i seriously doubt that its an upgrade of E71.
