smashpOp, does this device have 3D acceleration and FPU for gaming??
i think these are also important factor because this phone is built for multimedia

like what i said in N81 thread earlier this week, i would expect RM2200 like that when launched. Do not direct convert currency if it's UK pound or Euro, they will cost more if you direct convert

thank you squall_kay, this is a very detailed review indeed...
also, it mention that the built quality is next to perfect, but when i checked N81 8GB review at the same site, they say the same thing similar things as well. As a n81 user, i'd say that the slide quality is just normal, one which really need protection from user.

also, can anyone briefly explain the result on JBenchmark??
i see that N85 still have quite a big score gap compared to n82(n95 have totally same result as n82), so i am still quite worried that it will lag in games...

tq

the pic at the first page is the so called 'rumour' pic, i think the official one have a polished surface, looks more reflective

my N81 also have faster menu respond after boot compared to N95..
sometimes the respond time is not important, cos the 3D acceleration chip and other power features are used in games and apps

i would expect RM2k for phones like this

can only see the one you say record the slider sound, others are missing...

nice...
post gaming benchmark also...

FYI, i do not own nokia, but i know how the price goes...
direct convert from euro or pound will always cost 20% more, if you don believe me, go check out those hardware prices, or prices from other phones.
The reason is because this phone is aiming for mid-range market, and 450EURO for ppl there are consider a ok-ok price, but if you direct convert here, it's 2.2k edi, and 2.2k in malaysia is consider high end phone. i don think nokia is going to screw their own market up just to again a little more money on their price, i think they are aiming for volume sales this time, so the price should not exceed 2k if they want to do so(or price will drop within 3 months to less then 2k)


even if they come out with 2.2k price, so what?? i did used the word EXPECT, and expectations are just on personal thoughts.
plus, this phone kinda remind me the time when nokia release N78, they are aiming for mid-range market also, and the 2.2K price is consider high end to malaysia.

it's cool...since they have 90% similar in design, i will not be surprised that ppl got mistaken...it's like i can flash my N81 in front of you and say it's N96, most ppl would thought that it's actually N96 as well...

dunno lor, but i surely hope they gonna change the phone design for the next production line, because by then ppl would have been bored by that kind of design

ya lor...i also agree, this is somewhat monopolizing the market, and since nokia still one of the biggest phone brand, no one can shoot them..

anyway, tq smashpops for keeping us updated

refer to garage sales second hand phone price

tq for the pic...this phone is really nice

most of us here thinks mid-october...not too far away..hehe

i last time posted that N85 would be lower then 2k edi, but then kena flame 99 by few kakis here...swt....turn out to be real now

so this phone is 1890 huh?
not bad, i guess i'll just go work and change phone end of this year, and price will sure to be reduced also..haha

depends, if you are saying about gaming experience, then N95 would win, cos N85, for all the features it has, still lack of the 3D acceleration chip, but N95 has it..
i have compared phones without 3D accel with N95 with some ngage games(One). N95 runs at a smoother frame rate, and there is hardly lags
