Nokia N85 review

 

A stylish sliderphone with an impressive set of features to boot

Dual slider ; 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens ; 16m colour screen ; A-GPS and Nokia Maps software ; 8GB microSD card with maps and tunes ; FM radio transmitter ; Wi-Fi ; HSDPA high speed connectivity ; Symbian S60 smartphone operating system ;...

Smallish keypad ; LED flash could be better for low light shooting

A cracking little smart phone that delivers a superb all-round performance

Nokia N85

 

Another Nseries phone from Nokia - confused? You should be, so what makes this any different from the N95, N96, or N79? We get playing to find out. So what do you get? Well plenty it seems. The new handset offers a 2.6-inch AM OLED (QVGA, 240 x 320...

FM transmitter, Wi-Fi, 5-megapixel camera

Keyboard narrow and flat

The Nokia N85 is one of those under the radar phones that was clearly over shadowed by the launch of the N96. It's a shame as it seems to offer all the same as the N96 but without the cumbersome size. With so many Nseries handsets hitting the market,...

Nokia N85 review

 

Nokia has bolstered its Nseries all-star team with the impressive N85. But is it strong enough to replace the seminal N95?

Nothing new here for Symbian fans, but the N85 remains a top-class Nseries smartphone

Nokia N85 review

 

We review the Nokia N85 to see if it lives up to our multimedia-hungry expectations

Lightweight ; Easy to navigate ; Ability to listen to text messages

Grease-prone screen ; Dislike copper rear casing (although not only option) ; Keypad too cramped

Nokia - N85

 

Nokia's N85 is a slightly less well featured handset than the N96, though it does share some of the features of that handset. We'd go as far as to say it is an improvement on the ...

If we were weighing up between the N96 and N85 then we'd probably opt for this handset, which has a better build quality and is that little bit smaller for the pocket and hand.

Nokia N85 smartphone

 

Nokia's versatile all-rounder puts in a big-hitting performance.

The N85 is a very likeable, feature-packed handset. It may not break the N-series mould, but it provides most of the N96's gadgetry ground in a smaller - if still not tiny - package. Its performance is right on the money too, and you certainly get...
