"CNET Is Losing Credibility"
Pros: Excellent in every way
Cons: No WiFi. Big Deal
Summary: CNET gives this phone a rating of 6.3. I think CNET reviewers have become too jaded. It's time for some new blood. The entire N Series, save for the N80 has been skewered by CNET.
The N75 is one of the truly great phones I have ever owned, and I've owned them all. I rate it over the N95, the N76, the N91. The only Nokia I've enjoyed nearly as much as the N75 is the E65, another phone with a mediocre review from the CNET team.
As much as I've valued CNET reviews in the past, I now intend to go elsewhere for definitive assessments of cell phones. I know cell phones. I know how off the mark theses reviewers are.
I have an unlocked, unbranded N75 from Canada. If you can get that, instead of the AT&T version, get it.

I cannot figure out to save my life how they give the phone such a rating.
That phone is a 10 TEN T E N~~ hands down.
I concur with you though, that the only way to go is Nokia Direct Unlocked. AT&T takes all the accessories out of the box and they cost, with phone, $864.00 if you go through AT&T and not only do you get a locked phone but you also get what they have reduced to being a basic frustrating piece of crap disguised as a cell phone.
They whack all the menus and make it difficult to program MOST everything and IMPOSSIBLE to program other things. Like bluetooth headset and the stereo.
Not only that, but in the ones they sent me (I gave them two chances to get it right) they took the factory ringtones out and replaced them with disco music AND the phone is locked so you can't download different ones.
If you don't buy it direct from NOKIA, don't buy it. You will be ENORMOUSLY dissatisfied if you purchase an AT&T/Cingular N75.
The phone is just absolutely FABULOUS!!! I couldn't even think of anything that could be done to improve it! I really can't EXCEPT maybe the headset input but there are very logical reasons it's the way it is and ALL stereo phones will be that was very shortly.
CNet does appear to be QUITE jaded here... I agree.
Phones that I hear constant grumbling about from my friends are rated highly in here. I just don't get it!
I REALLY DON'T!
