Hard to believe the day's finally come, but that thing you're looking at is actually Nokia's long, long, freaking
long-delayed N75 3G Symbian smartphone. Here. As in, here in America, on AT&T. You don't really need us to tell you what it is (ok, well, if you do: it's got a 2 megapixel camera, PlaysForSure support, Bluetooth, and plenty of media and messaging apps), but you'll be stoked to learn the media-centric flip will run you just $200 (with rebate and 2-year). Grats, AT&T, we were starting to think you didn't have it in you to launch a friggin 3G Symbian phone.

Update: After a few all-too-brief hours of possible availability, AT&T
has yanked the N75 from many zip codes -- though it seems some lucky folks are still able to order. Your mileage, of course, may vary.

Bah! I knew this would happen. I picked up the Blackjack exactly 1 month and 3 days ago. Thanks for nothing at&t.

You can get it through amazon.com. - I just ordered one. However, go ahead and read the forums on this phone at phonescoop.com. They are talking about Cingy not allowing its users to use the FM radio or a problem with data plan whatsoever.
The most appealing feature of this phone for me is the capability to support podcasting. The podcatcher software can be downloaded at: http://europe.nokia.com/A4160376
IF Cingy acts smart and offers a good data plan with this phone they could actually increase their ARPUs significantly through people downloading podcast episodes and pushing pictures to Flickr accounts directly to/from their phones.
Currently Amazon.com website states that the only media plan is for a 5MB data access plan for $15. I believe the reason for not having a better data plan is that Cingy has not finished fully upgrading to 3G network yet at major metropolitan areas.
