Bakekang, 27 Oct 2008Pls dont recommend N85 as a music phone because its sound quality is just slightly better than... moreI dont see the need to run for an 8mp cameraphone. 5mp and even 3.2mp cameraphones produce really great photos. Plus the photos are much bigger than the resolution settings of a laptop. More megapixels isnt a necessity.
Yes, nokia plans to unveil an 8mp cameraphone soon which has some nice suprises under the hood, but i stil dont believe its worth an upgrade if u have n95/n95 8gb, n82, n79, etc.
About the camera and music, i dont think there is any phone at the moment that can handle both of these perfectly. N96 and innov8 are way too pricey and have battery life issues. N85 has a decent camera and decent sound, but is not the best out there. Same thing with the 5800xm. Good camera, but not the best. Good sound but not the loudest either.
If you must have a good camera and music, get n85 or 5800xm. Just dont expect too much from them.
However, i suggest getting a cameraphone with a good battery life like n95 8gb, n82, n79 etc and get the nokia bh 604 bluetooth headset. They sound the same on any phone and deliver sound better than any mobile phone can currently offer.

      jojo2009, 27 Oct 2008NOOO, N96 has 20x zoom (N85 doesn't) N96 has DVB-H (N85 doesn't) N96 has Flip-out kickstand... morehire is an opinion
      I don't use digital zoom it ruins the picture
      I don't watch TV not on a 2,8 for sure
      Flip-out kickstand but no lens cover DUDE WTF
      N96 has better 3D Stereo speakers TRUE
      16 gb that is a big plus I agree
      BUT WTF TFT BETTER THAN OLED GO THAKE YOUR PILS FOR THIS statement
      IF YOU LIKE IT IT'S NOT THE BEST
      oled consume less power than tft so the plus for the battery goes fon n85
      diseign also
      by the way I used n96 for a week it's quality don't match the price period
      no hard feelings but keep it real

                        anyways i recomend n85 basing on the most reasonable factor in buying mobile phone for regular consumers, the best value all in one device that has a good camera and music feature

                          N96 has 20x zoom (N85 doesn't)
                          N96 has DVB-H (N85 doesn't)
                          N96 has Flip-out kickstand (N85 doesn't)
                          N96 has better 3D Stereo speakers
                          N96 has 16GB internal,16GB External (N85 just 8GB)
                          N96 has 2.8 TFT (N85 has 2.6 OLED)
                          NOTE: (TFT) screens is better than (OLED)
                          `````

                          >BUT>>> N85 has 1200 mAH battery
                          AND the N96 has 950 mAH battery
                          Just this battery is better than N96,but soon there will be other battery (1200,1100 mAH) available for the N96.

                          ALSO the both phones has the SAME
                          (Wifi,3G 3.6 mbps,sensor,naviwheel,S60 3rd v9.3,A-GPS function,Dual slide design,Java MIDP 2.0,3.5 mm audio output jack,TV out,Stereo FM radio with RDS,5MP AF Carl-zeiss camera,Office document viewer ).and also same music features and same sound quality

                              Anonymous, 27 Oct 2008If someone come out and say samsung music quality is the best because of their DSn blur blur t... moreU prob'ly dont have a Samsung home stereo component system thats why u have no idea about DNse 2.0. Its a sound technology developed by Samsung that gives better amplification and creates sound effects, and reproduces purer, clearer and noiseless sound with all audio elements clearly audible. Fortunately, that DNse 2.0 is now on a mobile phone which is Samsung INNOV8.

N85 has no dedicated audio chip. It plays music but it's not a music phone. And pls stop saying that 8MP is not necessary because 8MP will be the standard for camera phones in 2009. Even Nokia is currently developing their own version of INNOV8.

                                    i would say that the best Camera and Music phone is Nokia N85

                                    Camera is Carl Ziess 5MP good enough to snap good quality images
                                    Music feature is one of the best among N Series and has dedicated buttons

                                    And its Nokia..
                                    Innov8 is a good phone but its overprice and contains unecessary features like the 8MP that average people doesnt need. Its a marketing ploy.

                                        Anonymous, 27 Oct 2008n96 is made for tv and video. it has a deskstand, 2.8 inch display, dedicated video processor ... moreTrue, but if i wanted a phone for video i would get the 5800xm. It has a massive 3.2 inch screen, desktop cradle in the retail package, loud speakers (nokia's best offering so far) and a dedicated 3d image engine. Plus it cost is much much cheaper than n96.
