Nokia N85 Review

Nokia N85 is a low-end Symbian phone launched in August 2008, featuring a 2.6-inches screen and a 5 mega-pixels back camera. We will get a better understanding of this device's advantages when we get into deeper details.

The Nokia N85 is quite thick compared to nowadays cellphones, with a thickness of 0.63". Though this phone is as big as 4.05 inches long, it only contains a much smaller 2.6" display. Apparently Nokia forgot about optimizing the weight, putting together a 4.5 oz product.

This phone has a 75,78 MB internal storage memory, a mediocre amount that may be adequate for basic users knowing that it also has an SD memory card expansion slot to store photos and videos.

This cellphone has only a 5 MP back-facing camera. Its back-facing camera lens has a maximum f/2.8 aperture so it has difficulties taking clear photographs in dark environments. It is capable of shooting videos in 640x480 (VGA) at 30 frames per second. In addition, the camera features some nice characteristics like auto-focus, flash, digital image stabilization and geo tagging.

Nokia equipped this device with a good 2.6 inches screen, and a 320 x 240 (QVGA) resolution, making everything look quite colorful and brightful.

The Nokia N85 includes Wi-Fi connectivity (but it can't provide it to other devices acting as a wireless router) and the fastest 3G connectivity, over HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card to use GSM services.

This phone counts with a 1200 mAh poor capacity Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep this cellphone running for many hours, although you will probably find yourself looking for a place to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. This phone has an aproximate stand by time of 360 hours and a talk time of 6.8 hs according to Nokia.

The Nokia N85 also comes with a couple of cool characteristics such as Bluetooth (provides communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor and Accelerometer.

This cellphone is priced 135 dollars, which is a high price for comparing with similar cellphones.
