I bought this phone and spend a fortune. But no Nokia service is availbe for this phone. No Catalogues updates are available and when go to Nokia web site for support the phone model is not listed. I really dont understand why Nokia is launching the phones without proper homework. I am really tired of Nokia and I am planning to switch to another brand and Nokia you are going to lose one of your faithful customer who is using your product from the last 8 years.

Just read from Nokia blog on comparing N96,N95 8GB, N85 and N82. N85 best all around juz lags behind N82's Xenon only. Even N96 dual LED couldn't be compared to N85 dual LED...

The UPnP architecture is a distributed, open networking architecture that leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices in the home, office, and everywhere in between.
What are the benefits of UPnP technology?
Media and device independence. UPnP technology can run on any network technology including Wi-Fi, coax, phone line, power line, Ethernet and 1394.
Platform independence. Vendors can use any operating system and any programming language to build UPnP products.
Internet-based technologies. UPnP technology is built upon IP, TCP, UDP, HTTP, and XML, among others.
UI Control. UPnP architecture enables vendor control over device user interface and interaction using the browser.
Programmatic control. UPnP architecture enables conventional application programmatic control.
Common base protocols. Vendors agree on base protocol sets on a per-device basis.
Extendable. Each UPnP product can have value-added services layered on top of the basic device architecture by the individual manufacturers.

- ... moreIt is better to compare the innov8 to the nokia tube since both are touchscreens.
Nokia Tube is the Innov8's competition. However, both the nokia tube and innov8 are two of the touchscreen phones that will cripple the iphone.

TI OMAP 2430 model are the 2nd generation of TI OMAP chips, 2420, powers multiple hi-end Nokia smartphones(N93, N95, E90, N82) and has in fact an integrated 3D accelerator.
The improvement from 2420 also extremely numerous. The CPU frequency has been pulled up to 450MHz from previous value of 330MHz. The chipset can work with high definition camera(> 5 MP) and it take less than a second to take shot. The rest important point about 2430 hardware are an upgrade TWL4030 module (TWL 92230 was used in 2420). TWL4030 is multifunctional solution providing access to numerous codecs, dedicated audio processing module, noise filters, and so on.
Samsung i8510 is the first Samsung smartphone to fully utilize the potential of the hardware graphics accelerator. It is an absolute requirement for processing 8 megapixel images, real-time VGA video decoding with separate audio signal processing(done by dedicated DSP, excluding the possibility of using the music player and camera at the same time). The graphic accelerator can now handle twice as few polygons per second, commonly used to power the best gaming phone.
Nokia N85 utilizes the same hardware as N78, N81, and N79. Freescale is cheaper solution for the most expensive TI OMAP 2430. The lack of 3D accelerator is blatant in the Jbenchmark 3D test. N85 lags behind in other test as well. Despite the lags seen in the test, N85 audio quality is the same with N96, a bit above than N78, but a bit below than Samsung GT-i8510 INNOV8.
Battery:
- Samsung i8510 : Standard, Li-Ion 1200 mAh, Stand-by Up to 310 h, Talk time Up to 8 h 30 min
- Nokia N96 : Standard, Li-Ion 950 mAh, Stand-by Up to 220 h, Talk time Up to 3 h 40 min !!!!!!!!
- Nokia N85 : Standard, Li-Ion 1200 mAh, Stand-by Up to 360 h, Talk time Up to 6 h 50 min
Camera:
- Samsung i8510 : 8 MP, Video VGA@30fps, QVGA@120fps
- Nokia N96 : 5 MP , Video VGA@30fps
- Nokia N85 : 5 MP, Video VGA@30fps
Conclusion :
- Samsung GT-i8510 INNOV8 has faster hardware performance, the best camera, excellent sound - DNSe 2.0 (Digital Natural Sound engine), excellent build quality, good battery, good price etc. while Nokia N96 is the slowest most expensive and with just 950 mah battery.
- Samsung GT-i8510 INNOV8 fully utilize the potential of the 3D graphic accelerator. It is an absolute requirement for processing the camera, video recording, decoding and playback. Nokia N85 and N96 can't handle this perfectly because the lack of graphic accelerator.
- Samsung GT-i8510 INNOV8 is the best gaming phone today. U can enjoy your 3D or HD games running perfectly in 29 fps, while Nokia N85 and N96 only can run below 10 fps. Thank's to dedicated hardware graphic accelerator.

N85 sound in headset is very soft. Sound in speakers is kind of distorted. N95 better sound in speaker than N85. N81 better sound in headset than N85.

no this one does not support 3g AT&T. an american version could be possibly out so... moreNokia USA is coming out with this phone. Check out the website. It says coming soon. I believe many nokia phones are unlocked and can be use with ATT/T-mobile. Even if the phone is manufatured and the orgin is in Europe, Asia,..etc...you can still use it here in the US as long as it is unlocked.
