Cute Guy, 28 Oct 2008I was curious about the topic of sounds raise here so i che... moreI did not review N85 because I do not have this phone nor am I planning to buy this. I just read from various review sites about its sound quality. I have also read p@sco's review of N85. And he's the only who said N85 has better sound quality than N96 and INNOV8 while all other review sites are saying N85's sound quality is not even near N96's sound quality. Actually, I believe mobile-review.com and smape.com than p@sco. p@sco must have loved this phone so much.

    smape.com and mobile-review.com already reviewed n85 and they said n85's sound quality is nowhere near n81, n91 and innov8. i think p@sco must be high or exaggerated. i used to like n85 but when ive learnt that its sound quality is not even on par with n96 it totally turns me off.

      Hi guys,
      Bought the phone yesterday for 23,200(INR)=365 euros here in India.

      1)The phone is gr8,Love the build quality and slide is firm but there is a very slight wobble(Nothing to worry). The down slide is really hard to slide
      2)Camera is gr8(equal or even slightly better than n95 8 gb)Night shots are not gr8 but serves the purpose
      3)Sound clarity is really gud with my creative ep630 earphones.The bass is very decnt and can easily erplace ur PMP
      4)There are some issues with the UI , some menu load very slowly and auto rotaion is not that accurate.it gets stuck in vertical positions sometimes(hopefully will get fixed in nxt firmware)
      5)Screen is amazing.ul see the difference when u have N95(orginal) and n85 side by side and thers just no comparison.WOW!!!!!
      6)two days of heavy usage and still battery hasnt come to even half way.

      Overall good mobile and satisfies for wat it was meant for.

            gk, 28 Oct 2008Hi, I am using a Nokia N85 and i must say that truly its ... morehow come? there are already owners of n85 and they have common opinion that n85 produces just average sound quality. if n85 has better sound quality than innov8, then it means n85 has better sound quality than n91 since innov8 has better sound quality than n91. that review from p@sco is not reliable. there has been a couple of reviews ive read stating that n85 has average sound quality only. and its hard to believe that n85 which has no dedicated audio chip will sound better than n96 and innov8 which are equipped with a dedicated audio processor.

                      Hi,
                      I am using a Nokia N85 and i must say that truly its a classy phone. The only problem i found is that when u select more than 20 recepients for a single text message the message format automatically changes to a multimedia message. Has anyone faced the same problem? If yes, how do u rectify it.

                          Initially, even I was not very happy with camera of n85. n82 seemed better. But then, I think the auto fuction of the n85 is not good at all. Try manually adjusting the settings and then take a click (for example landscape, or close up). This way I foung the n85 takes better pics than n82. The colors are natural in n85. n82 has a white tint to it.

                                no this one does not support 3g AT&T. an american version could be possibly out soon. I read that a 3g USA has been approved by FCC.

                                      Wanted to buy it since a long time. Saw it yesterday and changed my mind, because it looks dull like a cheap 100$ phone. So thought of 5800 but looks like a toy, and bad camera. Probably the coming 8mp Nserie touch screen will be nice but very expensive and heavy...

                                      That is why now my mind is on a silver N79, flashy looks, good price and top camera !
