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

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

would they introduced a "cradle" for the coming phones?...

im quit interested with this fon. just 1 thing to my concern. AMOLED has a shorter life span conpared with LCD. how many year does the AMOLED can last?

since i oredi got n82,wat i like in tis phone is the OLED screen

I got this information from Wikipedia.

OLED
Blue OLED had a lifetime of around 14,000 hours (5 years at 8 hours a day).

im not sure either its me only or other also, coz this official photos make this n85 look quite nice despite its recycling design

and that'll probably the last thing spoiled on the phone...5 years woh, even my longest lasting phone only 3 years...and nokia might already dropped support for the OLED display parts, unless find OEM one...

from the photo it really looks appealing,the recycling design wise,i quite like it ,the 1st time i saw n81 i oredi fall in love with this design,but finaly i end up with bought a n82 as my final choice coz n81 only 2mp

lolz.. is ok. i feel like that too.. anyway the avatar i got from online somewhere as well


looks pretty.. sometimes looks can be deceiving..
anyway nokia malaysia website already have the N96 listed, but n85 stil does not show up..

that's why...thought n85 launched together with n96...
guess...n96 gets more lights that n85...

oo thanks for the enlightment..
i didnt know that, always thought xenon is better, coz i never had a camphone with xenon flash
