The 3G capable Nokia N85 gives you an amazing total entertainment experience . . . and is still a completely capable quadband mobile communicator. The 2.8-inch LCD screen brings photos, video and web content to your eyes with brilliant color and clarity. Symbian OS S60 3rd Edition takes a good deal of compatible software for broad functionality.
The 5MP auto-focus camera with Carl Zeiss lens and dual LED flashes captures high-quality images and videos. Built-in 802.11b/g WiFi connects you to both home networks and your on-the-go hotspots. Integrated GPS makes sure you can find your way back home. Bluetooth 2.0 manages your handsfree connections and provides for stereo music streaming, while the microSD expansion slot offers up to 8GB of additional storage. Getting a SIM card from your service provider will complete your connectivity wherever you stray.
Easy to use in just one hand, the N85 gives you a portable platform that will bring both ease and pleasure to your business or recreation, by giving you immediate access to your news, communication and multimedia wherever you go!
Pros: - Great Battery Life (lasts around 2-3 days depending on use) - MP3 Player (Great quality sound and bass) - Great Video+Sound Quality (even at night!) - Great photos (5MP + Image Stabilization + Lens cover) - GPS (works great, sometimes indoors too) - Dual slider (Good for mp3 player and zooming while in picture/video/map mode) - 8GB SD Card (lots of space for all your songs/pics/videos) - OLED Screen (Great contrast and brightness!) - 3.5mm jack (very handy) - Competitive Price
Cons: - Photo quality in low light conditions (at night) is rather poor - Slider is slightly wobbly when open but really isn't noticeable. - Buttons could be a bit better, but I can easily get used to it. - Screen is hard to see when in direct sun light
Other Thoughts: I've researched this phone and found that this is probably one of the 'overall' best phones on the market. It's better than the N96 and N95 in many respects. It's also superior to many of the offerings from Samsung and Sony Erickson. The only phone coming out in the near future that will likely compete with this is the Samsung i8900 which will be extremely pricey but definitely a competitor.

Pros: OLED Screen Bluetooth and 802.11 GPS Compact Symbian compatibility Good feature set on paper
Cons: Workmanship out of the box unacceptable for a $300 phone. Keypad lifted out of the box and will not snap or hook down. Keymat then broke in the middle as seen elsewhere on the internet. Battery life is nowhere close to what Nokia claims. 2 days max with few phonecalls. Don't dare leave bluetooth on or the phone will deffinitely not be there for you when you need it most. I am for the most part very disappointed with this product. I waited several months before deciding on the N85 and justifying the money for this phone. Out of the box it was defective, but I thought I would fix it myself. I wish that I had sent it right back to Newegg and searched for problems with this phone prior to purchase. Battery life is very poor. I don't make or receive very many calls or surf. I do receive some email on the phone and use bluetooth when I'm on the road. I cannot expect more than 2 days out of this phone. My 2.5 year old Sony would hang in there for nearly a week on the original battery.
Other Thoughts: The phone has locked up on me half a dozen times and in one case refused to end a call when it went to voicemail. My Nokia 12v charger has for some reason caused the phone to stop responding when I attempted to use it and had to pull out the battery to bring it back to life. The Nokia Maps application takes several times longer to report a GPS fix than pretty much any other mapping application that you might chose to load. (at least they offer a free trial)
Overall I am just remorseful about this purchase. The phone had the specs that enticed me to order it, but the initial impression of the lack of care in assembly and materials ruined it for me and the poor battery life is like a poke in the eye.
Just be sure to know what you may be purchasing and research other user's experiences as well. I have had the phone for 2-3 months so I don't think my issue is isolated to a newly released product. This is what Nokia has settled on as good enough for you and me which isn't good eno

Just a good ol' Nokia

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Just to list some of my favorite features...
+Dual slider with media buttons
+Airplane mode
+ It comes pre-loaded with Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF viewer. I was able to read my e-mails which most of the time have a spreadsheet or pdf file
+ 5MP Camera takes great pics! I bought this when, at the time, 5MP was the best available. I take ALOT of pictures and this came with an 8gb Micro SDHC card from Nokia. The picture viewer is decent, but takes a few seconds to view the 5mp pictures taken. They start off kinda blurry but clear up in about 30 secs.
+ Video recorder with light. Maybe the best video camera on a phone that I have seen. Daytime videos are EXCELLENT!!! These are not short ten second clips that some phones allow you to do. You have all the time that your SD card will allow you(about 1hr). It also picks up sound.
+ Media player... Never been a fan of RealPlayer, but it came on the phone and is not that bad. It starts up quickly and lets me watch family gu
Cons: - The camera sticks out about 3mm, just enough to rub the paint off the plastic. I have had this for a few months and that is the ONLY sign of wear & tear. I normally care for my cell phones better than me, and it was really hard finding a good case for this.
- The NaviWheel does not work for every feature on the phone, and when it does, it is slow at times. I use it mainly for scrolling through picture, songs, and text messages.
Other Thoughts: Wish that I could addord a better one. Got this one for about $200. Great deal NewEgg!
This phone is lacking one Egg due to the processor. Excellent battery life! Excellent camera! Excellent multimedia phone! Unfortunately this will be old news in a year :/

Excellent Feature Set-Mediocre Build
Reviewed By: Lyell on 6/3/2009
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: If you could award half eggs, I would give a 3.5. I'm not going to cover all of the pros, feature-wise, as they are described at length all over the place. Some lesser known highlights:
The FM transmitter is a very convenient feature, although the lack of ability to broadcast calls over the transmitter is a little annoying.
The camera takes very good photos under some circumstances (lighting, distance etc.).
The screen is bright, easy to read, and the UI is for the most part intuitive and pleasant to use.
Battery life is good. I use the music player for maybe an hour each day, make a moderate amount of calls and texts, and use the alarm, camera, and web features infrequently, and the battery lasts 2-3 days on average.
It looks slick and is small enough to comfortably fit into pockets etc.
Call quality is very good, and it picks up signals very well. I get more bars than friend's with iPhones or Razrs (or any other phone I've seen for that matter).
Syncing with a Ma
Cons: The build quality is decent at best. The phone has survived some drops on pavement from three or four feet, but in general use I worry that I'm going to break the thing at any minute. It has a cheap feel that is far from reassuring.
There was a period of several weeks where the FM transmitter stopped working. Eventually I fixed this by pressing on the lower part of the screen, hard, until it started working again. I'm worried something is loose inside.
It is no replacement for a digital camera, as I had hoped. It takes better than average pics for a cell, but it is not dependable for any conditions and pictures are blurry more often than not.
The UI can be sluggish, and it takes a couple seconds to reorient the screen, meaning the acclerometer is more of a hassle than a help. (I turned it off)
It constantly asks for permission to connect when using the gmail app (or other web apps), warnings that are obnoxious, and, as far as I know, impossible to turn off.
Keys are a li
Other Thoughts: If I had bought this phone for $50 or even $100, I probably wouldn't have written this review, and wouldn't be bothered by the drawbacks. However, since I dished out $350 on this phone, I expected more.
It is not a bad phone, and it's features make it a decent purchase, but I would recommend the iPhone over it, and would buy an iPhone if I had it to do over.
I encourage you not to let the camera guide your decision, as it is still a far cry from a replacement for a reasonable digital camera.
