mel, 26 Mar 2009The N85 is far superior to an n95 8gb for starters it is newer, the camera quality seems to be... morehey thanx man!!
and what about the pencil key option?
' n85 doesnt have a pencil key, so its the copy paste function gone? everyone says that hash key replaces the pencil key, but some say that it doesnt allow to copy paste the text.. so what exactly it is? can n85 copy paste the text?'

    sajan, 25 Mar 2009bro go for samsung omnia which is much expensieve than nokia n85 if u want a multimedia phone... moreohh man!! u made me evn more confuse now..
    ok fine, the n95 is out now.. but now m confused between these two phones, n85 n samsung pixon (not c905 cuz its about 30000 INR, out of my reach) but these two are of same range.. now m soo cunfused cuz pixon provides me wid touchscreen n 8MP camera, but on the other hand, n85 provides me with symbian platform i.e. 3rd part applications (it rly does matter) n i can blindly trust nokia anyday, plus iv a soft corner for nokia phones cuz hv always used nokia only (so i cant say nythng abt samsung, how mush is it handy or etc)
    but fully touchscreen n 8MP camera is killing me..
    anyways, is this samsung pixon a symbian phone? s60? can it install 3rd part applications like nokia does (advanced device lock, ultimate call recorder, rotateme, shmessenger n etc) ??
    and overall which one u prefer?
    any other phones worth noticing of? in same cost range (24000 INR or $550) ??
    plz reply..thanxx!!

      and yeah obviously it would be great to know about other cool phones in the same cost range if u want to suggest any.. on bottomline i need GPS, 5MP camera, (n smartphone, which can install applications of thos nokia smartphones platform, like advanced device lock, rotateme, phone guardian, blah blah.. these software r v useful to me n cant stand my cell widout them..n can phones like samsung omia install dese applications) (but i'll be a lil biased to nokia phones only, they r simple n powerful, n iv been using nokia only)
      plz reply.. thanx!!

        ehtesham, 26 Mar 2009what do u think about the battery backup?/The n85 has 30hrs music playback and i did a fullscreen non-stop video test volume 90% and got 6hrs 35 minutes before the power saving mode activated..Ive had so many mobiles and done plenty of tests and this is the best ive had besides my k770i..I would say its 40% longer battery than n82 in 3g/wi-fi mode but i got 4hrs 40 mins of video on n82 and 8.5 hrs music..

        The best real life test battery values above are by me and throut gsm forum but mobile-review.com do tests too

                            i just got my Nokia N85 USA version and I love it compared to my previous Samsung I8510 INNOV8. The N85 build is very solid and reliable but the camera not as good as the INNOV8.

                            I returned the Innov8 and keep the N85 due to the fact that it's Nokia USA. They make things right for USA comsumers.

                            Innov8 has better camera than N85
                            N85 is a better phone than the Innov8 overall. I really like the vibration on N85..its superb! It vibrate like in those PS3 controller when you play games and it vibrate strong enought to wake you up in the middle of the night. The vibrate on Innov8 is weak! I also like the fact that when you talk on the phone, the N85 provide superb sound quality with soft and loud. Not like the Innov8, all you hear is tripple which make a man sound like a lady. *sigh*
