Nokia N85

“The good thing Nokia N85 does is take (almost) all the Nseries have delivered to date and put it in a neat and tasteful package. There are no groundbreaking novelties but what you get is quite worth it. And the display… well you do need to see it.Nokia N85 didn't hit the market so bitterly overpriced as the N96. Nor was the wait so hyped - instead it almost instantly felt right where it belongs.While the N85 certainly doesn't have the best 5MP camera on the market or the best styling there is, it is certainly one of the best all-rounders we've encountered. There is virtually no aspect of its performance where it totally fails (okay, zooming in the gallery is not that important).And - having said all that - the best thing about Nokia N85 is it can tempt both Symbian newcomers and upgraders. It's quite a list of phones that can lose their owners' favor to N85.v”

“The Nokia N85 is another solid N-series phone from the peeps in Finland, but if you're looking for something different this won't be your bag. What you have with the N85 is a well-designed, feature-packed phone, but it's not a million miles away from the N95 -- it's just more refined. We still like it and think that as long as you don't mind having a 5-megapixel camera instead of an 8-megapixel one, it's definitely worth checking out.”

“The Nokia N85 offers a powerful multimedia consumption and creation tool in a compact package. The camera takes crisp photos, and the automatic geotagging is a nice feature. The phone's bright and crisp 2.6 OLED display not only looks great, but contributes to the pleasantly long battery life. Unfortunately, the build quality is quite poor, with a wobbly slider and loose front panel, even after only a few weeks of usage. The user interface looks great, and is stable, with no lockups or slowdown despite our heavy texting. Aside from the questionable build, we think the Nokia N85 is by far the best S60-powered multimedia-focused smartphone on the market today. Unfortunately, the build quality is a major factor, which results in the Nokia N85 earning only a 'Recommended' rating here at MobileBurn.com.”

“Nokia N85 seems to be a good choice for slider fans, especially as it includes so many features at a decent price. While the offer on the market is quite rich, N85 will probably go unnoticed, as it doesn't have such an astonishing design. I would recommend the N85 as one of the best value for money options for a high-end device, in case you're not getting the new touchscreen smartphones from Nokia.The GoodEverything stuffed into this smartphone works pretty much above average, except maybe the screen, which is low consuming (AMOLED), but can barely be readable outdoors. Nokia N85 is solid built and offered at a decent price, which should attract more people than the actual design. I should enlist almost all the technical features that the phone includes, but also the quality of music sound.The BadI think the layout of the external keys, the Navi-wheel, which is still hard to control, as well as the AMOLED screen are the only letdowns of the device. Also, I was surprised to find that Nokia dropped the usual charging port and chose the microUSB port as the only method of charging. I don't understand this choice, as you will still need to carry two cables with you in case you cannot attach it to a PC.”
