Yeah exactly my point.. try asking nearby shops and see the price diff.

there are local sellers in lyn too. but price a bit higher. maybe can buy in bulk.. meaning collect names for anybody in this thread that wants to buy a batt maybe can lower the price.

it it available? for sis or java? very nice. it activates and uses the camera huh.. that would suck more batt power though..hehe

did u try it in your phone yet?

A dslr/slr picture is very very different. Currenty no cmos cameraphone can beat a CCD dslr. Even an i-Mobile 902 phone that has CCD sensor can't really beat a true dslr but it's one of the best if not the best cameraphone yet. Yeah, a mobile phone with ccd sensor. If that can't even beat a true dslr.. No N-series can.. I do photography and i know what i'm talking about.

The compression used in cameraphones are higher and thus making the file smaller. Ever wonder why 6mp dslr creates very big file size? because of the very low/no compression rate (depends on image formats).

If you say an n85 can produce a great picture like dslr, then an N95/n82 would clearly be much better than dslr and imobile 902 would be the king of photography which clearly it isn't. go figure.

Great 5mp camera - N82, N95, N95 8gb ( if flash is taken into consideration, n82 wins hands down and gets no. 1 in rank. )

Good 5mp camera - N79, N85

Great 3mp camera - N93, N93i, N73, N73me, 6500 slide

Good 3mp camera - 5610XM

Mediocre 3mp camera - 5800XM

Bad 3mp camera - E71

The other thing to keep in mind is that low 3g/gprs/edge/gsm coverage in rural areas can also drain more batt because the phone uses more power to keep it connected. So if you're in low 3g coverage areas, turn off your 3G coverage. Tools > Settings > Phone > Network > GSM mode. that'll save u more batt. if you want to use 3g the just turn it back on by selecting UMTS.

I suggest that if u do not use 3G a lot or just sometimes, then i suggest running the phone in GSM mode.

Added on April 2, 2009, 12:51 amYes about my ranking.. i've tried all but two, n93/n93i and e71. but i've seen pics of e71 and it's really bad compared to even 2mp cameraphones. I've also researched about n93/n93i's camera abilities and it's a great 3mp camera because it is the only N series that has a mechanical shutter (like ones used in digital cameras) so it's much much better in the form of optical zoom.

So i know my ranking is right. p.s. this is nokia thread so no SE phone ranking needed or wanted here.

Your information is clearly wrong because :

1. You stated n95 1st and n95 8gb 3rd in list.. this shows u do not know anything about cameras and cameraphones and just making this up. IN FACT, N95 8gb and N95 has the EXACT same camera module and flash module and also the same s60 v3 fp1. so y different rank?

2. Even a staff here that OWNS and USES n85 says that n95 camera is much better.

3. I've seen pictures with flash of the n95/n95 8gb and n85 and even n96 dual leds, it is almost similar because there's no clear advantage of the dual leds that can be seen in pictures. Only N82 made a clear and comparable difference because of the xenon flash.

4. You must also take note that n95/n95 8gb camera module is better than n85 in low light/poor lighting because of the bigger/better n95 sensor. period. You should not only consider flash pictures but also the quality of pictures taken in low lighting/poor lighting/ indoors. (in indoor/low light, it makes 5800 pics look really grainy and this is why it goes down in the list) Price wise, y do u think a 2 year old n95 8gb phone is still more expensive than the very new n85?

5. If N85 needs to be tweaked (non AUTO mode) to reach the level of n95 (auto mode) then imagine if we tweak n95. it should and probably will be much better than n85 right?

6. You said "look alike" right. NO n-series phones can even produce a 'look alike' picture of DSLRs.

better buy the phone unlocked ..a lil bit cheaper and dont need to use maxis..

but already stated in your sig u got an n85??

the 5800 got various options to type sms. qwerty, mini qwerty, alphanumeric (like normal phones) and handwriting if im not mistaken.

i also saw some complains and pics of n85's front Green/red call/end call button come off at the edges and u can actually take it off with your fingernails. it's kinda thin actually..

just be careful with your phone and i guess it'll be just fine.

sliders tend to have more mechanical problems than normal candybar-shaped phones like n82, n73, n78, n79. but the advantage is it looks nicer, cooler and is more compact than candybar shaped phones.

just relax.. take care of your phone. that's all.. but dont over do it ..meaning dont take care of it to the point that it's hard for u to use the phone itself..

maybe you could get a leather case for this phone but it will make it much more bulky and less easy to use.

just put a screen protector on the lcd screen.. and make sure that you're careful not to drop it on the ground..

take it slow and easy.. i guess u dont want to send your phone back because software problems too.. you just got your phone wat

yeah.. but remember.. not to talk bout this so freely in here.. it's illegal to talk about warez.

features wise

N95 8GB
-infrared
-better 5mp camera
-larger screen

N85
-fm transmitter
-sharper screen
-more compact size

remember this? he's a Mod btw

the one that lasted 2 days is original already i suppose. the batt life difference depends on user usage..

some non original batteries lasts as long as an original one in day to day use but the overall lifetime of those non ori batt is usually short.

meaning if u bought a non ori batt, it could last for maybe a few months only..

the other thing is that non ori batt could have a negative effect on your phone .. power surge etc..

try zedge.com make sure u set the settings in the website to n85.. it will list down the compatible themes for your n85

try this site too.. great fp2 themes too www.pizero.net

try this www.ahmed-world.com

he has quite a collection of real nice and unique themes..
