If you've been waiting to get your hands on a cool new Nokia phone that doesn't cost $700, now's your chance. The Boy Genius Report has spotted Nokia's relatively slim N75 flip phone on AT&T's Web site, and not only does it work with the carrier's 3G network, it's priced a hair below $200.
Rumors have been swirling for months that the N75 would end up on AT&T, so today's news isn't a huge surprise. Still, it's great to see a high-end Nokia handset in the U.S. that's reasonably priced and isn't shaped like a brick. Measuring 3.75 by 2.5 by 0.8 inches (OK, it's no
Samsung MM-A900 "Blade," but still) and weighing in at about 4.2 ounces, the N75 is a quad-band GSM phone, which means you'll be able to make calls on most GSM networks around the world. The clamshell also works on AT&T's 3G UMTS network, so you'll be able to indulge in streaming Cingular Video clips and speedy mobile surfing with Nokia's top-notch Web browser. Amateur shutterbugs can snap away with the two-megapixel camera, and Napster and Yahoo! Music subscribers can sync their tunes onto the phone's microSD memory card. You can also chat with your pals using a Bluetooth headset or keep in touch via AIM, MSN or Yahoo! Messenger.
All in all, it's a pretty impressive set of features—and unlike Nokia's
feature-packed N95 with the sky-high $750 price tag, you can get the N75 for a subsidized $199 with a two-year AT&T service plan.
