N75 Musical Goodness
As more and more people are using, and wanting to know about smarpthones. I am realizing that many of the things that I tend to take for granted, people just do not know. The following is a post from my personal website that speaks on how I am using the N75 as a music device (in addition to it being a phone and a few other tools). As much as it looks like the regular phone, its not. And its my hope that such a post can get you thinking of simple ways where you can maximize things like a phone, laptop, MP3 player when you learn more about what it can do for you.

As I've gone on (and on) a few times, I am in the mist of a bit of a mobile computing shift. I've been using the N75 and really haven't had too bad of a time with it. For the most part its good, and like I said before, I can totally understand the dissappointment people have with mobiles - even those that don't know that they are. But today I did come across some goodness that I knew about, but had not thought to put into play until now.
That goodness is in the use of bluetooth headphones with the N75. Most of you are familiar with using a bluetooth headset with your phone. And that's great when speaking on the phone (I even have a really good headset that I use). But have you ever considered what it would be like to have a music player where you could listen to music without that wire? Now, if you are anything like me, those wires go dead within 3-6 months and you need to get a new pair. But if the headset is wireless, all you have to do is charge it and go.
Well, that is the case with my headphones. I have a pair of Moto BT headphones and they are ok (for a few hours anyways). With the Treo, I had to download software to use the BT ability, or purchase an adapter if I wanted to use it wired. With the N75, no adapter needed. Just pair it like one would a headset and just go. That's a good thing.
Sure, I have to charge them once a week. But they can also be used wired, which is great. At the moment I don't have but a 2GB microSD memory card, so the amount of music I have is quite small. But its enough to enjoy some solid sounds while at work or biking.
This lil phone is really capable. I might have to trumpet it a bit more (can I be like Rita and request one from Santa or the next holiday wish-granter, lol). Its a lot more accesssible to people than an N95 is in the US (cost more than anything), and not so far out there with what I am able to do that it puts people off. Uhmmm...
