We did finally replace our unit but... The replacement had even worse problems than the original: one of the keys on the QWERTY keyboard lacks tactile feedback. So, although it registers key presses, you don't think you have hit it and therefore hit it again. Very irritating. Problem number 2: with the slider open, there is a very definite wobble of the upper section. Not nice. So, it seems the quality problems we found on our first unit were just the tip of an iceberg. To us at least, these sorts of issues are completely unacceptable in a device in this price range from a supposedly reputable manufacturer. Nokia, you urgently need to sort this out. Meanwhile, we're very happy with our Apple iPhone 3GS... Just to conclude the story about our ‘faulty’ E75. We did finally replace our unit but…

It's a very small difference though and we may well be imagining it but the bass sounds meatier and the treble more precise. As I say though, the difference is almost imperceptible. If you're looking for a dramatic improvement in sound quality, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Hi Gareth

Would you say that the mp3 audio quality is better than the E71? I find the E71 ok but not as good as the Noikia 5800. Would be interested in your views. Thanks Gareth Hi
