n85 review --

ok among the cons mentioned , here is what i have experienced ..

1. though there is lot of noise in viewfinder when taking photos in low light , in good light there is not a single problem ..i also like the vibrant colour reproduction in n85.. i always thought n82 to produce dull colours .. and i did not like n95 8gb cam at all after using n82 .. during good light i will go with n85 type cam..

2. image zooming problem is not there in my n85 .. zooming is smooth
3.office document editing - u can loads of third party soft to do that
4. navi wheel is good ..takes some time to get used to .. but its very cool ..i liked it //
5.Not the best sunlight legibility- sadly this is very true ..

so overall for me the only con is sunlight legibility .. but i guess u dont stand under sun all the time while ur using ur phone, now do u? :)

Yes I have read a lot of reviews regarding the cam of N85....The cam of N82 with Xenon flash definitely out performs N85's cam...

N82 is still the best in the cam department (of course in 5 MP category)

guys n82 is fully matured device ..on its fourth firmware and n85 is just out with its first firmware and hence let it improve with one or two firmware and then its right time to compare the two ..

in night photos n82 is king .. but i do like the photos taken by n85 during daylight .. mind u i have used n82 for a very long time hence i have pretty good first hand exp .. Though friends of mine think that n82 is still best among these three.. ie n82 , n85 and n95 8gb for camera ..

also nokia still does not know how to build a sturdy slider which does not wobble in any direction .. also i will alert people not buy n85 now .. wait a bit ..there seems to be some problems assiciated with current batch of n85 now .. slider wobbling , gps not working, navi wheel not working properly are few problems faced by people ..my gps is not working ..

So your N85 slider is wobbly too ? Or were u just referring to slider problems faced by others?

slight movement from left to right in closed position .. gps is not working too .. also sending a file through bluetooth to nokia s40 phones seems to be a problem .. like 5610 , 5300 etc

also its high time nokia should start shipping some good quality earphones like ep630 with their handsets .. the current ones are pathetic ..and high end ones should ship with stereo bluetooth headset ..

@yogi,, can you please confirm the cpu speed of the N85? When opened SystemInfo in X-Plore, and SP-Benchmark, the CPU speed is shown as 192 MHz. In GSM arena, it is shown as
microSD (TransFlash), up to 8GB, buy memory
- 85 MB internal memory
- ARM 11 369 MHz processor

Nokia site mentions:

Memory

microSD memory card slot, hot swappable, max. 8 GB (someone said that the max is 32 GB)
74 MB internal dynamic memory
78 MB internal NAND flash memory (What does these mean? which is RAM?)


. For N82, gsmarena shows - 100 MB internal memory - 128 MB SDRAM Memory - ARM 11 332 MHz processor. Doesnt the N85 have RAM? How do I know the processor speed in the phone with the inbuilt settings? Is there anything like the amd cool running mode or something which utilizes only a part of the processor speed? if so, is there any way to enable the full speed?


Is there any configuration to view the startup files, running services?

another qn. when I exit all the applications and return to standby screen and press and hold the menu button, the screen shows two applications running: menu and standby. In other symbian phones, it shows only the standby. does this happen in your phone too? Are the extra keys for gaming used only in ngage or can they be configured for sis games and java games?

n85 has arm 11 369 mhz single proci and 128 mb ram. Whereas n82 has arm 11 332 mhz dual proci. Due to different hardware platform , n82 has 92 mb ram free whereas n85 has 75 mb ram free after fresh bootup.

And about the process and apps running in background, there is a prog called jbak task manager. About gaming keys, i dont have much idea as i am not into gaming that much.

But why do the applications show the speed as 192 MHz?


X-Plore has problems detecting the proccies. Even my 5700 which has ARM 11 369 Mhz is shown as 192 MHz in X-Plore. Don't worry, it's just a software bug and nothing else. ;)

Just saw "mobiles & more" at zee business.....expert says that N85 is good for nothing....

Not the best camera..(he wanted optical zoom at this price)
Not the best sound..(wanted 3d surround sound)
No good gaming hardware...(dont know what he wanted)
he was furious that at this price no touch screen:D
gave only 3 stars..

He compared it with Sony ericsson G900 (claimed it to be better selection then n85:p)
