It's so sad since Samsung Innov8 was posted as #1 phone rated on... morealso the battery life seems to be awful on the innov8, at least that's what i see on the comments.
so you shouldn't take that as a real advantage over the n85 and even the n96 =)

It's so sad since Samsung Innov8 was posted as #1 phone rated on... moreJBenchmark only tests performance for specific Java calculations. Synthetic Java benchmark shows nothing noteworthy regarding real processor performance.
Freescale I.MX31 is a much better platform than old and power hungry OMAP 2430. You can read it yourself too. Here:
www.synchromeshcomputing.com/SynchromeshComputingFTF-Presentation-Benchmarking.ppt.
A standalone 3D accelerator has nothing to do with video recording, decoding and playback and photo processing. These are handled via Image and Video Accelerator found in the cpu or as another standalone chip. A standalone 3D accelerator isn't supported by most of the applications at all except by very limited number of Java games. N-gage games for Nokia do not support 3D accelerator.
Definitely N85>INNOV8 in terms of overall performance. INNOV8 is so bulky. I don't know much about N96 but I agree that INNOV8>N96.

What about sound quality in earphones of N85 compared to INNOV8? Does INNOV8 has dedicated sound processor?

I've got a chance to play with N85 in a mobile phone store here in Singapore. I used to like N85 ever since it was announced because I thought it would be a great music phone with N95-ish resemblance, BUT, I was wrong. This phone is just an enhanced version of N95, and NOT the successor of N81. Sound quality through 3.5mm jack is nowhere near N81. This is not a music phone. It is just a jack of all trades, master of none device. Camera quality, both stills and videos, is worse than N95. Sound quality via headset and speakers is too far behind N81. Probably the only noticeable good thing about N85 is the screen and battery life. But in everything else, N95 still beats it in performance.

From my experience with the phone after 2 weeks, Camera quality :
good light, landscape, no flash = good photo
good light, macro, no flash = good photo
low light, landscape, no flash = noisy photo
low light, macro, no flash = noisy photo
low light, landscape, flash = blurish and noisy photo
low light, macro, flash = ok photo but too dark on the edges
