Nokia N85 review: Nseries revved up - read the full textN85 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...

 

not a bad little phone this. not exactly up to the n958gb, but a lot faster than the n96. nokia definitely getting things right with this one. sony ericsson need to fix up and realise that nokia have them beat.

if u r buying a new phone then n85 is the best available in the market. Believe me you are not going to get better than this. I have been buying and selling phones for about 6 years and i have never used such a good phone. It only has one problem that its camera image quality is not good. Its video quality is just awesome.

How do you get the free N-Gage game?

I thought about it.. I guess because they are averages it could end up with the dynamic ranges being greater than the floor. They are not that much over in the test cases.

Also, the link I tried posting before did not show up correctly so here's attempt #2:

I would take those audio measurements with a grain of salt... I'm no expert, but by common sense, how can the dynamic range be greater than the absolute value of the noise floor?

Also, the N96 should be pretty close to the N85 in audio performance I would think.

So I dug around for another test. See the N85 review on Mobile-review for comparison here: http://www.mobile-review.com/r...5-en.shtml#7

iam confused between n95 8gb and n85. i had nokia n95. it battery life sucks.so i want to buy either one.
n95 8gb boast of:-
1) 2.8 inch screen(n85-2.6 inch)
2) 3d graphics accelerator
3) better camera performance
whereas n85:-
1)OLED display
2)better battery backup(as compared to n95 8gb)
3)memory card slot
4) advanced symbian interface.

so iwanted to know which one to opt for.
my email is ky26@in.com

HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE.
