Nokia N85 for sale

Phone is in great condition. A few wear and tear scuff marks, but it is in great condition screen-wise.

NOKIA’S N85 IS WHAT one might call their ‘something for everyone’ phone. It’s a combination of every good innovation Nokia has brought to the market over the last couple of years.

When you first open the N85 using its spring-assisted sliding mechanism, you’re greeted by a bright and vibrant display on the device’s luxurious 2.6-inch OLED screen. Six customisable shortcuts await, while upcoming calendar entries, wireless connectivity status and currently running media are kept updated below. Beautiful, flowing screen transitions, which are a part of the new S60v3 Feature Pack 2, and animated navigation through the system are, oddly enough, disabled by default – accessible only through some serious digging in the control panel (much like the screen brightness setting, which really should be maxed by default for the best image quality possible).

The screen succeeds in every department.  One of the device’s greatest assets is its camera. Capturing at a resolution up to 5MP, the Carl Zeiss lens is paired with a dual LED flash to provide an excellent camera solution that’s more capable than almost any other cellphone camera you’ve seen before. While its ability to handle lowlight situations is better than most phones (certainly other Nokia devices), images captured without bright or natural sunlight come out rather grainy and washed-out. Another excellent feature is the N85’s ability to capture full-motion video at ‘TV quality’, or in this case 640 x 480dpi at 30 frames per second. While it’s not quite TV quality, the crispness and fluidity of the video are virtually unmatched in this segment.
