bakhtawar, 22 May 2010i bought a usd n85 n i hav a few problems... The battery lyf is really POOR..Is it a prob with... moreStandard N85 has the real immortal battery (2-3 days living) and if you'll activate power saver you get an extra 12 hours so all you need is to buy 1200 mAh (BL-5K) battery and replace old by new one. what about sound, handset isn't too noisy, sometimes you can't even hear it ringing but in headset it sounds just brilliant. I will dare to say better than Iphone 2G. I've used N85 for a half year and changed it with HTC, what a fool was I :((((

My overall experience is good if i compare it with other h/s. I'm not in to touch screen so i prefer this h/s. Ideally, i intended to purchase N97 however i was advised by the store that to go for N85. i purchased this h/s since it supports N-gage. but after purchasing the h/s i found that i have to buy each game. so i visited an external website and i have purchased 67 games including games available on Ngage and that too at a cheaper rate

Well, m a tech freak guy frm delhi who goes for latest cellphone technologies available in market and i examine everything abt a phone very carefully. In sybian phones, i hav used nokia 660, nokia n73, nokia 5320, nokia n95, nokia n79 and nokia n85. I own nokia n85 frm last 8 months and frankly speaking, it is the next best to nokia n95 used by me,
Goods abt nokia n85 -
1. The 2.6 inch Amoled display is the most attractive thing to notice, well, it is one of the brightest screens i hav ever seen wid any nokia symbian phones, bt it is a bit hard to read outdoors in sunlight (bt its a usual problem wid all coloured phones), bt this problem can b rectified by using light coloured themes
2. The processor of nokia n85 is very fast (till date) and the software of nokia n85 does trouble anybody much as it does nt hangs tht much like other symbian phones (nokia n79 has a really poor software update)
3. Nokia n85 has a 3.5 mm universal music jack. U can use any branded earphones like Sony, senheiser to get more better enhanced music experience.The music quality s very gud in earphones.
4. Th integrated 5 megapixel camer is awesome. The pictures clicked are very nice and crisp and dnt break in pixels when viwed on a computer. Th LED flash is very powerful and brightest than many 5 megapixel phones available in the market
3. Nokia n85 has got everything u want in a phone, its a complete package phone with everything in it. For example Bluetooth, wi-fi, GPS, 3G.Ask for any feature , nd u will get tht in nokia n85 fitted with 8gb memory card
Letdowns -
1, The speaker volume is very low (if u like playing music without earphones)
2. The battery is not tht much sufficient for people like me, who uses internet on cellphone all the time, It lasts a full single day till i hav to reach my charger. Also the charger of nokia n85 is different frm other nokia phones and u cant find charging options while travelling if u forget ur charger at home
3. Nokia n85 doesnt support AVI format videos. Though AVI videos can b played using a 3rd party softwares like smartmovie. I think nokia shud think abt this and bring this feature in upcoming models
4. The price of nokia n85 is a bit high ( i dnt knw why nokia n85 is priced at around Rs 19000 INR and nokia n79 at Rs 11500 INR and there are only slight feature differences and design)
OVERALL VERDICT - If u dnt like phones like nokia n97, nokia n97 mini, then nokia n85 will b the best option for u. U will love to have this phone in ur hand and u will never think to sell this phone ever ever, Its a must buy phone.
If this phone is discontinued, then u can opt for ebay to buy it

Ok. got my n85 since last X-mass.
It was very very very excited. First impression, it was a jewel !
But then, the problems started. I'm gonna make a review. With pro's and con's.
Con's:
-the plastic is EXTREMELY poor !!! i don't know what's up with nokia, but the plastic SUX
-what's up with that gps? it's USELESS ! gps sux
-a large amount of useless apps. i really don't need like 80% of them. just makes the phone go really slow
-battery life is utterly poor. it's full, and the next second the power saver is activated because it's empty. what the ??? have to charge it every night
- OVIstore sux big time, i mean, IT SUX. let me say that again, IT SUX. my brother has an iphone and appstore is like 100000x times more usefull
- i was thrilled because of the n-gage...but again...very disappointing. a game is at least 7$
- speaker...they are like a cat singing on a trumpet. what's up with them? it's stereo...but it's sounds disgusting + the sound level in the headset is extremely low !
Pro's
- symbian is great ! kinda slow because of the useless apps, but it's very good.
- the camera is very good too ! 5 mpx, very precise, good zoom , great flash ! you can easily make a film in the night because the flash is like a damn lamp.
- wireless is a perfect touch !
- the browser...what can i say...it's kinda good, not great...in the middle
- the media player is great + the music player is very useful, you can find any song in a moment
- good touch on the double-slider , slides perfectly
- it has "search" which, for me, was extremely useful ! anything , from songs to messages that contain that given word, the search engine will find it. perfect touch
- a lot of detail in this phone when it comes to themes, maybe it slows it down, but i surely love it
- LARGE MEMORY !!! 8 GB , SWEET !
In conclusion , it's a 8,5 rated phone ( that's what i say ). If you want a business phone with a lot of apps and great camera, then it's perfect for you.
A good phone, not very good, but surely not a poor phone. thumbs up nokia !
