Review: Nokia N75
Calling features of the N75 are straightforward. Hitting the green send key brings up the call log where you'll see all your sent, received or missed calls. Hitting the options key (left function button) brings up an extensive list of things you can do with each number in the log, including initiate a call or SMS/MMS message. S60 affords you a number of options for customizing certain calling features, including automatically rejecting calls with SMS messages. While in a call, the right function key will activate the speakerphone. You may also use the left function key to access other in-call options.
Using the main menu to access the calling log presents you with segregated views of missed, sent, received calls and each is viewable in a separate list. You can also jump to a total connection viewer by scrolling to the right. This brings up a list of not only phone calls made, but data calls as well.
The phone book application is found in the main menu, or can be added to the list of shortcuts in active standby mode. When adding/editing contacts, you can essentially add as much or as little information as you want. The application makes you jump through a couple of hoops to add more than one set of numbers for landlines, mobiles, faxes, etc, but it's possible to add multiple types of numbers for each contact. You can also add multiple email addresses, web addresses, Skype IDs, addresses, notes, birthdays and more. You can also assign ringtones and picture IDs.
The phonebook lets you sort by alphabetical order or by groups. Triple-tapping in some characters begins to filter the list and helps narrow down/ease searches in extensive phonebooks. Once you've found the contact you're looking for, hitting the left function key brings up a list of options and lets you contact that person by whichever means suits you best.
