Nokia N85

I upgraded to the Nokia N85 approximately 6 months ago. I chose this phone based on numerous consumer reviews and after I managed to secure it for free on a tariff with Orange. LOOKS ---------- The Nokia N85 is mostly finished in a glossy 'piano' black with silver details. The sides of the phone are a matt black while the battery cover has a very subtle 'carbon fibre' pattern. This scheme looks great out of the box and remains scratch free after ...
...pavement once or twice! However the glossy finish picks up fingerprints and grease very easily. The buttons and controls are all discrete and minimalistic. On the front there are 4 protruding buttons, the d-pad/navi wheel and 4 'hidden' buttons which light up when they can be used. The outline of the d-pad can be set to glow blue while the phone is on sleep which looks good. Opening the mechanism one way reveals the numpad which again is finished ...

Review of Nokia N85

NOKIA N85 THE LOOK AND FEEL I liked the look and feel of it straight away but still not as sexy looking as some of the new touch screen phones. I have just got the Nokia N97 and was quite disappointed at how plasticy the back felt as I was used to the smooth glossy look and feel of the N85. It seems as though Nokia have taken a step backwards on the overall feel of the phone when making the N97 which is bad considering the spec and capability of ...
...this phone I had the Nokia N95 8G, this became faulty to water damage so I got the N85 through insurance and was told this had the new home screen which was made for easy internet access. I loved the new look of the home screen but shortly found that the phone was just not good enough to support it fully and kept freezing and getting confused with functions. So for software I would give it 3 stars. FEATURES It has a 5mp Carl Zeiss camera, Carl Zeiss ...
