Sorry for the late response on the slider thingy. Yes i do feel that it is indeed wobbly since the first day. But I will just live with it as to me it is not a major problem

Thanks for the link doomx, after looking through the video and testing and inspecting my N85. I have a wobble on the top (screen) part and the rest of the areas none. Even tried what the link said (in closed mode and try pressing the lower right part as well as in multimedia mode) all do not exhibit any wobble.

In closed part, I have a slight wobble on the top part but its a really really slight wobble, I think 1mm or even less and its not so bad until can make a click-clack sound. It wobbled very slightly but doesn't make any sound. It is soo minor and makes me think this is normal for a sliding phone. A slide mechanism must have a slight free-play otherwise, the sliding would not be smooth. Mine's pretty normal.

I think N85 may have units manufactured in different region of the world and they may churn out different quality handsets. Mine although is AP, is the same model as the Malaysian Ori Zitron / Avaxx set which I think do not possess such issues.

So far, been using it for a week and I am a heavy user (calls a lot, watch videos a lot and MP3 average). I sync a lot, my 8Gb microSD is almost full. So first week owning it, I sure meddle with it a lot. So far, the phone never hangs and never restart on me even while synching and charging.

Only thing worth complaining is Security code always ask when phone turned on even simcard is not changed. And bluetooth handsfree keeps disconnecting and reconnecting which can be eliminated when u switch your handsfree off and on back.

I think both the above problem can be addressed via firmware so no worries. Overall, I am satisfied with the N85.

Thank you for the review . Based on the video, i can see clearly that his N85 wobble like hell. Phone that wobble too much feels alittle bit insecure. Lol

Ironically, N85 isn't recognized by NSU now. Guess it is too early for a firmware upgrade

By the way guys, I have updated the first post and put a temporary tagline on this topic.

Do suggest what to add, and I will help maintain it

hey guys, just wondering.. the AP version of the N85 can play the Ngage games without problem rite?

i think there are no different specs between AP and ORI...no?

So thats wobbly?
Yeah, it behaves like that.
I dont find it a problem though. Its good that even when you press the bottom part, it still doesnt scratch against the bottom part. If you tap the bottom of the plastic (below d pad) can see it moves a little. Its a design problem. I dont think you can make it a solid piece when all the keys are in 4 different direction and if they had used a solid piece, it would break after prolong usage.

how long would it take for this phone to fully charge??
is it different if using charger (3 pin plug) and the usb charging??

noob noob

i felt using the USB data cable to charge takes a bit more time to get to full...forgot how long though...

using the adaptor (3 pin) to charge took mine around 2 hours i think.

Got my N85 today from nokia store.

Tried charging through the USB cable, and didn't encounter reboot issue. Seems like we are no affected.

So far so good.

At the moment, testing out all the advertised features....

yo yo yo, new user reporting in. just got it today. I was trying to install the opera mini 4.2 beta... installed till around 80% and stucked there... damn... anyone tried that out yet?

i just wanna know what the difference between n79 and n85 when i read review both are almost similar spec. anyone can explain me coz i m planning to buy n85.

hi guys congrats guys on the N85...i m sure u will find lots of fun using n exploring it

for opera mini 4.2 beta...nope i haven't tried...u might wanna try on the opera mobile 8.65 (if i remember correctly). I m using it fine

N79 and N85 both has similar spec, but N85 has AMOLED screen (awesome). N85 got dual slide like the famous N95.

still working on my wifi though.. i can connect to my home's wifi.. but then i can't surf the net at all. it works on and off... browse 1 page fine... link to another it stucked at 0kb... any advice on the settings?

1 - everytime after send a msg, the screen will go back to inbox folder...is there any setting i can set so it will go straight to frontpage...??
2 - if i open same applications or pages, when i press the "red button" (dont know what it called ), the screen will go to frontpage..but the application still running the the background..any way to fully close application using just 1 time press?? so no need to press the back back exit exit few times...

hey guys! so glad u guys r enjoying ur new phones, rich people huh?
anyway, izzit possible that the N85 price drop so quickly to avoid it being slaughtered by the Tube next year? I mean, the tube is kinda an all-in-one after all rite?

Those buying AP sets, is Nokia Map included in the package? I asked my friend who is a phone shop dealer, saying AP have something in difference like cannot fully support some software due to like non-ori firmware sort of thing compared to Ori. Just wondering if its true. Cause the prices for both is quite a margin.

EDIT : Not to mention the battery might not be original anymore with AP set.
