personal review? oh well, i really dun like to write essay, i'll just put down in point form:-

- phone package comes with 3-months free GPS voice navigation, 1 n-gage game voucher, 1 tv-output cable, 1 wired headset, 1 USB charger, USB cable & user manuals + CD

- keypad is flat but so far have no problems in typing sms

- D pad buttons are a bit hard to press, probably b'cos i'm not used to it since i've used my 6680 for almost 4 years

- navi wheel is quite sensitive

- picture quality is awesome, so is the video quality, hardly can find blurry effects after you record it, exactly same like when you are recording during playback

- speaker is excellent, quite loud, but when put it to 100% full blast, can hear slight cracking sounds, but just 70% is already loud enough for a normal hearing

- slider is firm

- menu transition effect is excellent

- charges via USB port, so charge anywhere you want as long as there's USB port! no more hassle in finding 3-pin socket port!

- this babe is one big fingerprint magnet...

- dual LED, quite bright when it flashes, may not be as bright as Xenon flash but bright enough to capture when you in low-light environtment

- fm transmitter is really one big feature, u can play the songs in your phone via your car radio

okay enough, that's all i can write for the time being, i'm still exploring it!

IMHO, for high-end phone like this it's best you go for Ori... dun play play....

i have bought both AP and ori sets in my entire life...apparently the ori set that i bought is more troublesome than the ap sets.
so my next phone would be the AP set, it's not like AP sets are clone phone from china, it's still from nokia. the only difference is the warranty availabality.

perhaps u js unlucky to suffer that. if la, u hv 2 phones, same phone, ap n ori, both give some troublesome problems, then that time u will realize, perhaps its better for u to buy both ori phone due to warranty thingy. hehe.

AP set can claim warranty as well....i never found any AP set with no warranty at all
the only problem if you bought the AP phone in KL but you stay in sabah, then you have to travel to KL to claim your warranty.
otherwise, it should be no problem for AP set.

the hp cost around rm18xx for ap set.... n95 dropping now due to launch of n85...

who said ap cannot claim warranty? 
hahaha
it js u hv to check certain the ap warranty type, certain cover most/all part for 1 year or more but certain only cover the transceiver for 1 year, others (lcd, battery, charger n etc) might js 1-3months only. lucky here, certain seller do provide good ap warranty type.

I never bought AP before. Is AP set good?
I was thinking to get an AP set for my wife. Almost confirm le, but then my satisfaction was crushed.
I received a PM on 10pm yesterday and price was XXYY, suddenly this morning PM again saying price increase now XXZZ.
You know what, when I checked the seller thread, price reduced to XXFF.

RM80 movement in price. One moment saying price increase while reducing it another moment. All in less than 24hrs. I cannot believe that.
Now thinking if I should go original since Im really fedup kao kao.

BTW, can N85 user feedback a bit?
Is the front keypad ok? I tried N96 and it was horrible. Not what I would expect as the dummy keys are way better than the phone itself.

More feedback needed, because I intend to buy 1 for my wife. Appreciates~

wow... i m interested to kno who izit... mind to tell??

who izit bro? 
let us know 

Any user can give me any feedback regarding the whole phone? Seem like some original sellers are giving good pricing on it. I think I will waste another couple hundred to get Zitron/Avaxx set since its for my wife.

Actually I asked about the AP vs Original is to know whether AP set they will charge anything or not if major operation like LCD malfunction or slider damaged. Also want to know whether they used original parts or what. Scare after buying if got problem, and worse if dealer give lcly face, really dulan when buying expensive phone.

AP & Zitron/Avaxx phones are all made by Nokia factories. If I am you, I will definitely choose AP bcos

1) price much much lower; why must I pay few hundred RM more for the exact same fone?
2) warranty issues can be settled easily if u choose to buy in shops and not stalls/online types.
3) for new fones like n85, it is impossible to find imitation or refurbished fones.
4) ur relationship wt dealers largely depends on how u interact wt them. dun xpect all the great service, all the time.
