nokia n75

[Dist]

Can anyone confirm that its not possible to buy a n75 in europe and that its only for sale in usa?

ive read conflicting things, saying that the N75 is usa only, while europe gets the n76. Because i dont know much about phones this may seem like a dumb question, but whats stoping me buying a n75 from USA and shipping it here to the uk and just using it here with a UK sim card? i realy dislike the look of the n76 but i do like the n75 which is why i would prefer to get that one, especialy as its only $200 compared to some of the places ive seen online that are selling the n76 at over £400, thats 4 times the price.

The N75 is an AT&T exclusive, designed for the US market. It's very unlikely to be sold over here and it's also possible that there won't be an unbranded SIM free version of the phone. You're right that the nearest European phone is the N76. Both phones are shipping now.

If you could find a SIM free version, it would work in the UK. However, you would only get 2G functionality and not the full 3G features.

The price you've seen for the N75 in the US is with a two year contract, whilst the N76 is SIM free. That's why there's such a difference in price. I'd expect the N75 to cost almost as much as the N76 SIM free.
