Touchscreen phones r still ok yaar...But the major factor which has put me away 4m the 5800xm is 3.2 MP cam and that 2 with a LED flash..Dammit, Nokia always 4gets 2 put everything in one phone so that people like us can buy it...:mad:

I would suggest do not get too much trapped in the megapixels race.
More megapixels are good, but the quality of the camera is not determined by the megapixel count alone. I am sure u know that but just repeating it.

Consider the E71.... it also has a 3.2 MP cam, but its an aweful cam with a purplish shade. So I won't advise u to buy the 5800 if it has a 3.2 MP cam like the E71.

But if it has a decent 3.2 MP cam like that on the N73, then the other benefits of 5800, namely the touchscreen & the 3.2 inch large display more than outweigh the disadvantage of losing a couple of megapixels on the camera.

Just my thoughts. I was also looking forward to a 5 MP cam phone & had set my eyes on the N79. Until I saw the 5800 announcement.

If nokia puts every thing in one phone, then who will buy the others :D

As i suggested earlier go for either N82 or 5800xm.
I would have suggested N85, but 5800xm is much better imho. 3.2mp is less than 5mp but both of them have led, so not much dedicated cams.
On the other hand in 5800, u get a big screen & res plus very loud speakers and further to boot its feature rich.

@uppalpankaj- music quality through ep630 in n85 is very much better than n82 and n95 8gb. Since i have used all three phones with ep 630 in last two months, i can easily say n85 is way better than n82 which infact is a slightly bettet than n95 8gb. n95 8gb was particularly dissappointing for me. Such a flagship phone with low sound quality is not done.It was the main reason i thought of moving to n85. Bass is more pronounced. Also midrange is sounds way better than n82. I have heard n81 once, and i can safely say it sounds very much like n81, though n81 was bit more louder through ep 630.

Also, if u look at feature set of both n82 as well as n79, if u dont need xenon flash that much then going for n79 over n82 is not bad choice at all. Its feature pack 2 device as n85 which i kinda liking with all those menu transitions etc. You get better keypad in n79. Other drawback is lack of gpu in n79 though its application is very much limited as of now. Fm transmitter and navi wheel are welcome additions in n79. I am using fm transmitter in my car stereo with n85. Its effective range is less, only 3-4 meters. Browsing thorough menus using navi wheel is cool. But for camera centric device, get n82 :)

5800 is different beast. First s60 5th edition touch device with large high resolution screen.Its a mid end touch screen phone. Nokia is coming out with a flagship n series touch screen phone soon after 5800. Touchscreen phones are not for me, hence i went for n85 .

camera quality is same as n82 if not better during bright daylight. Colours seems to be more vibrant on n85. Dual led flash is much more effective than single led of n95 though its not in the same league as n82 xenon flash obviously. You can use it while video recording too. Micro optics of dual led flash in n85 is better , hence its dual led flash is better than n96 , n79 as well as 5800xm. Though not camera centric, its camera performance is very good as of now. And with future firmwares, i am sure it will be improved .

Also , it can be said that nokia does not put all features in one phone. These people put most features barring one. Many people will appreciate xenon flash in n95 8gb as well n85. But that will kill the sales of n82.

@ Yogi - That was a great post by you and cleared up a lot of things..

The 5800xm has been recently announced...How much time will it take 2 hit the Indian markets???

And what abt the speed of N85 as compared 2 other devices such as N79/N82?? I feel that N82 must b faster...

@Nikeel - U have decided in favor of the 5800xm and will have 2 wait...But what I think is that this is a never ending phenomenon...Once 5800xm hits the shelves, I think Nokia will announce a touch screen phone with 5 MP cam...I had read that Nokia plans 2 release a lot of touchscreen phones in Q1/Q2 of 2009...And then again all of us will be tempted 2 wait further 4 all those phones...

Speed of n85 is the same as n82/ n95 8gb. Actually i found n95 8gb to be a bit slow compared to n82 . n85 is as fast as n82.

5800 ex music is expected somewhere in november. Maybe second/third week of november.
As i stated above, nokia is shortly going to announce an " n series " high end touch device.It will come with either 5mp or 8mp cam. I am intested in a true successor of n95 which is to be expected in first quarter of 2009 with 8mp cam and better video recording than vga quality.

Most people are calling n85 to be a successor of n95, which i think is wrong. I think its n81 successor. Same goes for n79 which follows the footsteps of n78.

I will create a new thread shortly about n85.

U r right about this being a never ending phenomenon. But I think 5800 is a big leap for Nokia over and above N82/N85/N79. Unlike N79 & N85 which were refurbished N78/N82 and N95 respectively. While there is no reason to wait for newer refurbished mobiles to release (which is never ending) I think a Nokia touchscreen with a large display is worth the wait. And since its releasing about third week of November its not that big a wait. And believe me, I am really desperate to change my mobile.

The N Series touchscreen which Nokia will announce will probably be in the 25k-30k price range (just guessing & I could be wrong) & I don't want to spend more than 20k on my next mobile. And apart from the 3.2 MP cam there is absolutely nothing missing in the 5800 that I would want in my next mobile. So the only improvement Nokia can make in the N Series Touchscreen would be the camera megapixels.

To top it all the 5800 will be cheaper than N95/N85/N82/N79 !!!

Hmm.. 5800 is exp at 18k . We might see n82 at 18k in a month or two.

n85 might be refurbished n95 , but its one hell of a refurbished handset :)

Yes even I was considering the 5800...It is a gr8 phone with superb features...I wished it had 5 MP cam+LED or 3.2 MP Cam + Xenon at least. Taking gr8 photos is really important 4 me....I wud have bought it immediately then on its release...This is the reason why I have decided against it....The 5800 looks superb...

N85 looks cool 2...But then is a lot more expensive than N82...

n82 pic looks good enough . And since i was associated with n82 for past 10 months , i wont change it to n85. My experience with n82 has been simply awesome.

Finally bought the n85. Awesome phne

I need your help please
I just purchased N85
the speaker sound is good, but I'm not impressed
when I was playing with the Audio settings
I found that both the "Loudness" and "Stereo widening"
have almost no noticeable effect when turned on
(compared to my brother's N73)
and THE MOST IMPORTANT THING that I need you help
with is: when I chose only the left\upper speaker to play
the volume is a lot lower than when I only chose the right\bottom
speaker.
so left have a lower volume than right.
Is this a defect in my phone?
can you please try it in your phone and get back to me ASAP

I would be very grateful to you

my N85 info:
Made in Finland
10.045
10-9-2008
10.045.53.1
10-9-2008

Great! u seem to have made in finland handset .. mine is made in china :(

both of my speakers are have same loudness. go to audio settings-balance and adjust it to centre position and then check. Sound quality through earphones is very good . Use it with creative ep630 earphones.

speakers of n73 and 6233 are very loud. Do not expect such loud speakers in new devices.

Here's an interesting read. Nokia future roadmap leaked!

*www.symbian-freak.com/news/008/11/14_devices_found_its_way_into_the_daylight.htm

n85 successor with xenon flash. Why cant they put it on org n85? its like cashing in with very few actual improvements. Corolla looks good though.

comments..

@Thread starter- could u pls change the name of thread to n85 impressions or something like that . I dont want to create other one for n85 :)
