CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: Excellent QVGA OLED display; full set of connectivity features; bundled with 8GB microSD card; stylish design; decent build quality. View score
The bad: Dual sliding mechanism not as smooth as we would like; flash is underpowered.
The bottom line: The N85 isn't a major upgrade from the previous two N95 models, at least not in terms of features. But if you are looking to replace them with a more stylish handset, the N85 is the one.

software problems?
Sep 14, 2009Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: very good pictures, videos, and music. Can hold up to 16gigs of memory.
Cons: constant crashing
Opinion:
I have this unit for almost 9 months now. I have been updating the software via the nokia update ek-ek, but seems like the problems of crashing is still there. It almost always restarts on its own, there was also an instance when it re-formatted itself, good thing i had a back-up. Very expensive too. Not your money's worth.
Nice phone to use

Pros: Picture taken by camera is good
Cons: Cannot forward picture message
Opinion:
Not a bad phone to use but the only thing it cannot forward picture message.
Not much of a technological advancement from the N95, just sleeker and thinner.

Pros: Slim design, included 8GB card
Cons: Fragile sliding mechanism, feels too similar to the N95
Opinion:
Although a slim looking phone, the N85 looks rather unfresh and incomplete. The silver button located to the right of the keypad makes it look like it was unintentionally put there. There really isn't much of an improvement from the N95 but it feels slightly lighter and fits into your hand more comfortably.
