crossover between n95+n81+touchup = n85 ----> not nice
n96 at least looks better, but for back part, this better la...but still overall, not fresh

it weigh around n95 8gb, 128g
but hv slimmer body line than n96 n n95/n95 8gb
hope this is the last n95 recycling programmes

What goes to the exterior design, the company representatives stated exclusively for SMAPE.com that the current designer trend witnessed in N81, N85, N96 and a number of future models will be continued for a serious period of time, reserving the use of metal to Eseries line products. It's hard to say if this is actually good or bad, our task is to tell you about the Nseries outlook for the future. As long as the current design sells well, Nokia aren't going to invent something new. The second point is about the positioning policy. While Samsung is invading the hi-end segment with products like i8510 INNOV8, Nokia are doing their best to take over the mid-end product range, facing little to no competition. Models like i8510 or N96 almost never score high sales, while N79, N82 and N85 form the mass segment of multimedia devices which constitute a serious share of the company's sold products. The future growth of this share in the next year will owe much to the mentioned mass coming of mid-end multimedia handsets. That doesn't mean exactly that Nokia will no longer need a flagship to lead the product line; the most powerful handset in this series is to arrive later, in the first quarter of 2009, and this policy is fully justified.

base on the bold line statement, if users wanna something fresh from nokia, we need to teach them a lessons, so that they can roll out new fresh design (as if they are hiding it, wait till the exact moment to release it )

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..

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

although the n85 kinda has boring design...but both gsmarena n smape give quite good impression

http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n85_nokia_n79-review-277.php

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

the latest might be around october

w980 n w902 with clear audio tech might be better in music department compare to the n85
n85 sound quality identical to n78 n n96 which is slightly better than n95/n95 8gb

it seems this n85 getting many positive review
here from smape:
http://www.smape.com/en/reviews/nokia/Nokia_N85-rev.html
many praise its build quality, seems very good indeed

its sound quality on par with n81, better than n78 a bit n better than n95, slightly below n91 n INNOV8

i oso wondered coz base on the benchmark it seems n95 hv higher score, but from video in youtube, n85 seems faster n more responsive than n95

at least its quality and specs impressed those reviewers
fail or not, the number of sales will justify it n base on the review, i do agree with them, n85 still one of the best all rounder specs out there for that kind of price...

450euro

emm..i dont think so, coz n96 has way bigger screen than n81, n n96 looks bigger than n81
between n85 n n81, it look same but certainly can be differentiate

this what happens when they (any company la) become major brands and sit at top of the rank

interms of innovation, only samsung, LG n apple can fit that terms.
moto, nokia n se cannot wooo
but at least nokia give best all rounder when compare to others (especially se n moto) atlhough they js recycling their products
as for me, i quite like this n85
