The Boy Genius Report: Crippled Nokia N75 to launch in April? engadgetmobile.com Posted Mar 19th 2007 2:47PM by Chris Ziegler Filed under: Handsets, Nokia, ATT-Cingular, Symbian, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS Word on the street now has the hotly-anticipated Nokia N75 -- the first phone out of Espoo with UMTS 850 and 1900 in tow, not to mention the first new S60 device officially launched on an American network in quite some time -- should finally hit streets in April. The bad news? The delays appear to have been caused at least in part by AT&T's request to remove the ability to stream any music not being hawked by the carrier itself or one of its partners -- Yahoo! and Napster, that is. Worse yet, there will allegedly be no ability to add apps to do so (at least for a few days after launch, at which point we suppose it'll be unceremoneously cracked for all to enjoy). For what it's worth, some folks in Nokia are apparently not terribly pleased with Cingular's demands; may we recommend a fully unlocked version be waiting for us in Nokia's flagship stores around the same time as the carrier-subsidized launch?
