nokia really needs to hire new phone designers ....

should compare w samsung and LG for their stylist and cool design

lol..N95 replica??
but i do like the idea of embeded lighting
looks cool in dark
design wise.. ntg new n fresh

crossover between n95+n81+touchup = n85 ----> not nice
n96 at least looks better, but for back part, this better la...but still overall, not fresh

new designers for nokia mayb?

very '2008 nokia' model look

Nokia never comes out with touchscreen phone?

Your wish, is almost true (hopefully)

Nokia Tube?

haha ,no button ?using temp sensor like chocolate?


fuiyoh ,N81 + N95 +N96 =new nokia phone


genius ,nokia play mixed and match

another N81 look alike model

yup..same thought here N85 is after N82 model?

officially announce yesterday..
but not sure have GPS or not...

got GPS n geo tagging
diff from N82 - LED rather Xenon flash..

looks very PLASTIC & same old design that nokia always use...don hv anymore bright ideas on designing new products ka nokia nie? Should make survey about what kind of phone design that 'nokia fans' wan in the future...

well no at all ppl are perfect.. so do nokia.. this give chance to other brand to win the market!.
if i and CEO of nokia i will design by my self lol

how much is it?

according to mobile-review.com it's approx Euro 450 when released. so convert to RM is bout RM2.2K plus.

the front part of the phone looks plain and dull..

Looks fat..what is the weight? Just concern how if put in pocket? lol..

base on the LYN news.. this handphone slim.. the only thing running in my mine what the diffrence with n82.. other than xenon flash thing..

eh doesnt this look likethe n96?
hmm...

i pity nokia now.. they are getting more and more pathetic in their designs...

it weigh around n95 8gb, 128g
but hv slimmer body line than n96 n n95/n95 8gb
hope this is the last n95 recycling programmes

yerp...all n81 look alike





What goes to the exterior design, the company representatives stated exclusively for SMAPE.com that the current designer trend witnessed in N81, N85, N96 and a number of future models will be continued for a serious period of time, reserving the use of metal to Eseries line products. It's hard to say if this is actually good or bad, our task is to tell you about the Nseries outlook for the future. As long as the current design sells well, Nokia aren't going to invent something new. The second point is about the positioning policy. While Samsung is invading the hi-end segment with products like i8510 INNOV8, Nokia are doing their best to take over the mid-end product range, facing little to no competition. Models like i8510 or N96 almost never score high sales, while N79, N82 and N85 form the mass segment of multimedia devices which constitute a serious share of the company's sold products. The future growth of this share in the next year will owe much to the mentioned mass coming of mid-end multimedia handsets. That doesn't mean exactly that Nokia will no longer need a flagship to lead the product line; the most powerful handset in this series is to arrive later, in the first quarter of 2009, and this policy is fully justified.

base on the bold line statement, if users wanna something fresh from nokia, we need to teach them a lessons, so that they can roll out new fresh design (as if they are hiding it, wait till the exact moment to release it )

the e series, metal body are cool..

hate the front of the phone design but like the specs

izit...china's No Kia? looks so fake

i dont think this is the china nokia

erksss?...Nokia really brave...
does that mean..."don't judge the phone by it's casing"...

LED flash better than Xenon Flash???

Xenon is better because it produces brighter flash compared to LED. But in this case, there might be some improvement over the dual LED on the Nokia N85. Besides, LED can be use as flashlight unlike Xenon. Which is an advantage for LED. There are pros and cons.

haha....coz Nokia know, although some basher (including me) said this phone looks bad n bla3...bt after all it still give the best all-rounder performance at reasonable price (perhaps), even when compare to c905, its only advantage js it 8mpx cam n xenon...if compare to INNOV8, the samsung offering a lot better but it come with hefty price tag
i think nokia has other design or perhaps revolution/innovation design, but they dun wanna release it, becoz why wanna offer it when they still can make profit (not like SE n Motorola), n this re-cycle specs from n95 still prove its worthness n can provide cost effective....marketing strategy rite..

xenon flash definately better

not always difinately better for camphone
coz xenon cannot be use in video, drains more battery, n double LED flash (base on mobile-review) perform better in close up pictures

when i saw this model and the design, this is how i look -->

(sorry eyez98 borrowed your avatar for this )

Nokia got this kind of "trick", market two phones at one time,which differ one and another is specification-based also one is just cheaper than another...

although the n85 kinda has boring design...but both gsmarena n smape give quite good impression

oh just discovered that N85 is the very first Nokia phone to have USB charging capabilities - finally!

yup the microUSB charging is nice to have. I wish other nokia phones got this feature. I cant stand their slim banana jack for their chargers. its so thin like want to break off anytime
