Nokia N85 review: Nseries revved up
N85 is the latest Nseries signing and a bulletproof spec sheet sets it right in the thick of all-in-one action. Full-house connectivity and multimedia prowess topped with a massive OLED screen to die for, Nokia N85 gives the lineup a great edge...

Don't get N85 north american version. It can't pick up a signal in the same areas as a Nokia 2610 can! It costs a lot more and can't manage to hold a signal in buildings like Walmart. Wish I had returned it for refund before it was too late :(

I've only been using nokia and samsung phones so far and have never been turned down by any nokia model. I feel in love with the design of N85 and it seems to have all the features i need. However there are so many different reviews... the screen is bad, the phone crashes, the slider looses contact... I really want to buy it but mabye its a decision based only on the design. Can anyone tell me if its safe to buy this phone? i
I dont really care if the features are the best in this class i just want it to be of a good quality and not break down

> In reply to memo @ 2009-06-29 12:41 from M{3IOled screen seems ok to me, but not very good in daylight - BUT, I've still got the protective plastic on it..
Camera is pretty crap, my 2mp SE w810i is as good.
Build quality is poor, slider feels like it's gonna break in under a few mths, call / hang-up buttons squeek when pressed and it generally feels cheap.
firmware is out of date by a lot and won't update, been told I can change my product code to get it to update but this could / would affect warranty, with above issues I daren't.
The firmware is poor tbh, performance is bad, portrait / landscape function is bad, navi-wheel is useless - I've disabled mine.

gsmArena.. please renew your review..
the N85 with newer firmware[v11] is much better than[v10]
it has no lagging, navi wheel is working perfectly, and zooming the pictures is quickly fast.. the camera performance also good...

The only thing that put me off the phone was the review mentioned it took ages to zoom in on the photos. I'm glad I ignored this as I went ahead and bought it and am really impressed with it. I can't help thinking the phone was not fully tested in the review, as there is an additional slider, which slides out to the left when viewing the screen. When this is activated a + sign is illuminated, which enables you zoom in on your pictures/photos and I thought it was quite fast myself. I wonder when they were reviewing the phone if they were trying to zoom in using the zoom option from the editing screen instead?

hummm the nokia n85 :-) bought this phone last nov and have a few issues like others. the slider is loose but will deal with it. my ear piece stops working at times? multi tasking can be way to slow for my liking and will freeze up from time to time :-( down volume key has to be pushed hard to work. gps works like crap for me i have only been able to connect one time in a car :-( worthless to me
good note: battery life is the best i have owned, screen is amazing, love all the features this phones does soooooo minus some major issues with the ear piece i can live with it for now

I've had this phone for a couple of months now. It lives up to its spec sheet and hype. Only short fall is it could do with a larger AMOLED coupled with a larger battery.
