The E75 brings a sliding QWERTY keyboard to the Nokia E range of smartphones. Primarily designed with business users in mind, the E range includes features like shortcut keys to calendar and messaging beneath the screen. But in fact the Es have been adopted more widely. Nokia's online store has it in black and a very bright and eye-catching shade of red, perhaps reflecting the wider audience.

It is easy to see why the Es have achieved broad appeal. The build quality of the E75 makes the fact obvious. The E75 is Nokia's first shot at a sliding keyboard and the mechanism is smooth and the keys relatively large, solid and easy to use at a fair turn of speed.

The screen, by comparison, is a bit of a let-down. It isn't very large at 2.4 diagonal inches, and its resolution at 320 x 240 pixels is average but no more. If you want to Web browse at length or view a lot of text, you might find a handset with a larger screen more appropriate.
