Hai All of you..
i just wanna ask your opinion about this Hp..
i just see and try the handphone at Nokia,The Garden beside Mid Valley and in my 1st impression was so "wow!" but then, after i try the speaker, the audio quality just sound like "pecah" . So, i wanna ask, is that true the Sound Quality of the N85 quite not so good as N95. Because early next Dec08 i wanna buy a new N Series. Now i use My N73 with i very satisfactory after i purchase it . So,can you guy's help me about the problem or give me an idea which hand phone suitable with my criteria?

last time when to phone shop asking for AP set, they said need to add another RM50 if want to use the nokia map...if ori set, no need because already installed...i ask some sellers here in garage sales, they also said same thing...
then i ask is there any others function that are not in AP set...they said only the nokia map..others are same...

How about the battery included? Still original? Also I bet they take out the 8GB microSD as well. Any rumour that AP set can't install certain java programs? Just want to know what's the major difference in AP and Ori set. More comments will be more justified. Am considering either to get this one or just wait for Nokia 5800. Downgrading from Samsung Omnia though.

hahaha welcome to the eat grass club...i joined this club much earlier though

wow thanks for the link...now only i know there's this menu transition effects....i've been missing this for like 1 week + of owning it duh.

on the wifi thing, did u set your SSID to be hidden? If it is then you would have this prob. To solve it, have your wifi router set to show SSID, use your N85 to detect it and connect to it. After successful connect, then only set your SSID in your router to hide. Then set your N85 Network Status to "Hidden". To do that, go go Tools > Settings > Connection > Destinations > Internet > Edit your access point > Under Network Status : Change to Hidden. This should solve it. It did for mine.

1 : Nope, i don't think there's any setting that can set that.
2 : The S60 is a multi task system and yes, there's the hassle of having the apps not quitting when u press the Red (End Call) button. There's no setting to overcome this as well. I also find it a problem everytime u wanna press lots of BACK button till u come to EXIT button. That is after u go deep in to certain menu.

I bought an AP set. All are original including the battery. Although i read AP sets do not come with Nokia Maps of something like that, my AP unit comes with it. The voice navigation only has 90 days trial though. But the ORI set also has till 90 days as well. U can have a full version replacing it after expiring though...but need to google lar. Personally I find the Nokia Maps not very useful due to the not updated map (one time it tells me to go thru a one way street in the opposite direction - although the road used to be 2 way, it ain't now). So I am using Garmin Mobile XT which has a much updated map. Gotta google for those info though.

My AP set's firmware and region code is exactly the same as malaysian Ori unit, firmware update would not be a problem. So when buyin AP sets, choose wisely.

Yeah, me thinks the sound quality (off the speaker) is not so good too. I heard its great on N96 though. Might wanna consider that model.

hrm...refer my reply above...

All accs, battery, microSD card, charger, cable all ori for mine. All java apps can install. For my case, the diff btwn Ori n AP is only on the Price & Warranty.

@yupio

Thanks for the reply. Some more questions. Is your warranty by Telstar? And how much did you bought yours?

Still considering this or upcoming XpressMusic 5800.

We need a user review quick!

i bought AP Set from renee...telstra warranty...same price with her thread at garage sale...RM1589 for 1yr warranty , lcd no warranty, battery and charger 1mth warranty..

**i'm not @yupio thou...

that is pretty risky dont u think?

thanks yupio..
but i think i juts buy N85 because N96 are to expensive for me ..
but for the firmware, if nokia release a new firmware, can the AP set upgrade it??

As for the warranty, I see most AP gives 12 months warranty for LCD, 1~3 months for battery and charger. Just want to confirm on that.

That is what im aware of but then he said no warranty...

thanks yupio for the settings but i still can't really make use of the wifi. Do we use infrastructure or ad-hoc mode? I can detect my SSID and connect to it. but when i browse the net... it loads like a few hundred bytes.. then it'll stop completely. just hanging there. other times it'll just stuck at 0kb... anyone can help on the settings?

then....u can upgrade the warranty to "2yrs warranty, lcd 1yr, battery and charger 3mths warranty "...just like what renee says in her selling thread...sumore, she will add the "missing part on AP set" (the NOKIA GPS thing)..plus..she also install garminxt for free...plus...1 screen protector...
for the price, i think u all better check with her...

No prob bro....mine's CSL

Added on November 23, 2008, 5:21 pmyeah, my AP set will be able to update fine as its exactly the same as the Zitron / Avaxx set. For a confirmed answer, will have to wait till a firmware update is available.

My CSL AP set have 12 months warranty on LCD, 15 months warranty everything else.

It'll be Infrastructure mode....funny though, mine works just fine...try other browser??

Added on November 23, 2008, 5:45 pmReporting 1st incident of N85 freeze.

I've switched on Menu Transition and for the first time, when a call comes in, the ringer did not ring but the screen shows Incoming Call but then I press the green (receive call button), the phone did not respond. All other buttons pressed also did not get the phone to respond. End up, the phone auto reboot with the NOKIA word and white background then goes into main standby screen.

I go into Call logs, the call did not register as missed or incoming call.

Overall with the menu transition switched on, the interface seems lagged. Will try it for a few days, if it gives prob, will switch off.

You should upgrade the warranty la.
I bought from her also.
But pay a bit more for the 2yrs warranty with 1yr warranty on LCD.

She got install Garmin for you? Maybe cos I didnt ask so I din get it.
But Nokia Map is enough for me liao.

i did upgrade the warranty to 2yrs..
i ask her to install garmin...also the nokia map..
but i tot we need to pay if want to use the nokia one...garmin is free right..
