Nokia N85 Review
Nokia N85 (the smallest dual-slider Nseries) features a 2.6″ AMOLED QVGA (240×320 pixels) display that supports 16 million colours. The OLED display should have a faster responce time, refresh rate and use less power than LCD displays and a 5 megapixel camera with support for geotagging.
There are also dedicated gaming keys and 10 pre-loaded demo titles to try out and you will be able to choose 1 game to have for free! Other features include a built-in FM transmitter, GPS and a 3.5mm audio jack. There will also be enough power from the BL-5K battery (1200mAh) for 28 hours of music playback. Many people have asked for the ability to charge their devices through USB, and the N85 is also the first Nseries device to support USB charging!
Like the N79, the N85 will have a microSD card included in the sales package - this time an 8GB card instead of having built-in mass storage.
This device should also be available next month!
It is great to see that Nokia are releasing their devices a lot quicker than before. There has been a long wait for the N96 and fingers crossed that device will also be available within the next month.
Nokia N85 is actually quite an interesting device since it can do everything the N96 can but features a higher capacity battery in a slimmer design and a lens cover for the camera. A couple of things you do loose however is the 16GB Mass Memory and the 2.8″ screen - but I can’t wait to find out how well the OLED display performs.
