Watch out coz all data on ur internal phone memory will be lost so, i suggest u do a back up on ur memory card or better on ur pc before doing a hard reset, i'm telling u to do a back up on ur pc better because u can then choose the items to be restored.. Good Luck

Ive been using the Nokia N85 for the past 2 years now. Overall, I can certainly say that it has been a great phone. The only problem im facing is that, my internal ( phone memory ) which is 74mb has been occupied by something unknown. Ive tried deleting all the apps, messages and contacts... But still this problem exists... It shows only 4mb free space... Suggestions will be appreciated..

The N85 has been with me for the last 3 years. Though I now have a Blackberry Storm2 9550 as my main phone, I still use the N85 as back-up because of its reliability. It is still reliable because it gets signals even though it's used indoors (in contrast to the BB Storm2, which gets choppy. I was able to use it when I traveled in the US with no glitch.), gets clear pictures (because of its 5mp cam), more user-friendly (the keypads are still better than the touch screen qwerty and the navi-key provides quick access to some apps) and the battery doesn't drain easily. Though it has gone slower lately (probably because of too much stored data due to pics and music), I give it a score of 8 out of 10. Now that I have changed its front cover, it now has its brand new feel and I'll probably switch back to it as my main phone.

I've been having N85 for almost 2 years now, i really loved this phone, but i'm currently having a serious problem with it that irritates me!!
The Numeric keypad is ok, the D-pad and the soft keys keep freezing for around 12 hours daily then suddenly they turn working completely fine, when the phone freezes it becomes too slow, i have to press the D-pad 5 or 6 times to make any single move, while being on the internet, if i press the D-pad downwards, it gets me to the very bottom of the page, upwards gets me to the very top of the page and so on so, the internet becomes completely useless during the daily freezing time... Lately the phone has been freezing for almost 48 hours before being fine again.
I tried doing a hard reset, tried also re-installing the phone software as i have the latest version with no use!!
Any suggestions?? Is it likely to be a hardware problem? If so, then how does the phone work normally sometimes?

Total disapointment, phone is the worst I eb+ver had and I had many phones of all kind of brands and specifications. The worst of all was the Nokias treatment towards me as a custumer. That was the last Nokia I had and will ever have after many years of using nokias models and haveing all kinf of broblems with them- from 3310 till n85. Other brands turned up to be of litlle better quality and sevice....

No, sir/madam. The keypad is very accurate. Much worse have been seen. If you want a problem, it is more to do with the operation system. One digs deep before an answer is found. The "Navi-pad" is tiresome because it requires a certain pressure. Also the phone is heavy, if you think how small it is. There is not a lot of of plastic.

The next 6 months will determine the fate of Nokia. It has been a success all over the world. If anything, Nokia has brought Finland back to the stage once again, and I certainly hope people have enjoyed the show. I have no contacts with the company itself. Thank you readers, this is goodbye, from Helsinki, all the best to you from me :) P.J.

I am 50. I started with Ericssons, quite late, and I had a few. I have used a Samsung, and even a Motorola. Currently I have a cheap Samsung, and Nokia 3650, 6280 and the newly acquired N85. Overall, the best thing Nokia can do is about the sound, whether that be for the earpiece or the speaker. For now. Thank you for reading. And... of course, I am from Finland :)

more about the N85, I am the lucky 35E man, the phone I bought has scratches from 2 years of use and I have not tested the camera for prints. For the price I got the phone, a charger and the original memory card and nothing else. The battery is not too strong.
I want to tell everyone that during the slide of Nokias share prices to the present 5 dollars each, the after market of Nokia phones have almost collapsed in price, at least in Finland. Cheap bargains are everywhere. Phones that cost 200 dollars just three years ago can be had for 30 today. its a terrific bust. For now. Some pieces are very artistic. Maybe even desirable.

I received the machine today per post, and I can tell you people that the sound from the loudspeakers is better than good, and played to the maximum, can be heard 100+ meters away. I paid 35 Euros for it and I am very pleased. The GPS is not too good, though, not with the original software. If I can make a call with it, its perfect!
