Nokia N85 in the wild!

What's the N85, you ask? We don't know a heck of a lot about this one, but we're told that it features a 5 megapixel camera, GPS, and geotagging -- sort of an N96 lite, perhaps. The slider features the same industrial design featured on all of Nokia's Nseries devices as of late, but beyond that, your guess is as good as ours regarding target market, pricing, availability. Stay tuned for more as we get it!

so beautiful

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 12:27PM]

Looks great, can't wait to see what it's like when finished.

Less messing with buttons with FP2. I can't imagine it's more than 2.8" and the picture does not look like anything beyond WQVGA, but you can never tell.

I bet the battery rocks though, BP-5L(1500mAh) maybe.

Seems like Nokia has their higher end feature set down. Let's just hope for a quadband WCDMA.

Yes!!!!
Finally. Hopefully it's out soon.

Fake.
5mp camera in Nseries without xenon flash.
Fake.
Cuz they won't re-release any new Nseries on FP1 platform when FP2 is already rocking.

I wish it was real but I'm being realistic here. Nokia might make some kind of slider phone with touch interface and 5mp camera but only half a year or so after they actually make anything with touch interface to face iPhone (3G). But thats just my opinion, the crazy people sometimes make crazy stuff happen, so you never know till its announced ;)

@Shinigami - 5mp w/o xenon? Take a look @ the N96- Dual LED (rumors had it @ xenon upgrade, but Nseries site specs show LED is a go).

Well Nokia are obvisosley trying to get some members from Network in Motions Geotagging.Or are Nokia using Network in Motions Tagging App?

Network in Motion have a 100million server Hit every month why would you want to compete with this?

So like they say if you carnt beat them join them!

Oli over and Out.

i'm sticking to my N82 until something better WITH XENON FLASH comes along...

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 12:44PM]

Ooh! Shiny!

I like the cut of its gib.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 12:49PM]

C'mooooon tri-band HSDPA!

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 12:57PM]

Chris, there are reports that this ISN'T the N85... Is your source sure?

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 12:59PM]

Aye this dosent really seem to the device to those what MR forums Eldar and what Symbian freak told us. It could be N83 actually.

[Chris Posted Jun 9th 2008 1:14PM]

We're confirming with the source now and will update if necessary - thanks!

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 2:11PM]

At least Teo from Symbian freak said that this isnt the device he held(N85).

Awesome! But doesn't look like a N85, maybe N83

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 1:42PM]

That's a half-way decent looking handset with excellent camera specs and fairly well-featured, however....

Nokia's feeble attempt to steal 3G iPhone's thunder. It's back to the drawing board for them.

Dammit! I got another Low-Rank due to being an obnoxious Apple fanboi. Who woulda thunk it.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 1:59PM]

There's nothing that could steal thunder from iphone that's a fact, but companies success usually with the profits and units they sell ;)

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 5:10PM]

You are really going to compare this to Apple's paltry 2.0mp cam without ANY flash???!! Really?

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 3:19PM]

it's another "Nokia Noo(oooooooooooo)"
lol :P jk

this looks perfect. but i just cant wait any longer. ive been waiting for a year to upgrade (or even longer considering i wanted e90 but never got any us 3g love). i think iphone2 is gonna win me over. unless all of a sudden some kick ass android phones magically get release dates tomorrow.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 5:32PM]

Love the look of this phone. I have always liked Nokia a lot but i am sick of waiting for them to put a decent keyboard on their high end multi media phones, not just on the E series. I want a full keyboard or at the very least a 20 key suretype. PLEASE!

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 6:15PM]

LOL!!! N85 my ass! This is very early proto of N96.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 8:26PM]

cr.ap, no xenon flash.. nothing exiting... no dual slider?, qvga screen?, poor battery? please nokia, release something new, we want vga screen, 520mhz processor, 1500mA battery, xenon flash!! =D

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 9th 2008 9:37PM]

They missed the B beside the model number.

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 13th 2008 12:35PM]

Very cool. Seems phones goes bigger display, similar with iPhone's screen. If it also has DC 2.0 mm charging interface like N95, then our mobile power can charge it on-the-go. Big screen needs more power!

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 23rd 2008 9:17PM]

some sa it`s nice some say it`s shit...... ?????
haven`t any one here seen the n96 but [perkele] it`s a very old proto nothin new here...
oh how the hell iphone is good with still 2 megapixels & not even led flash and no video record :S no foucus, no shit option for camera that`s just crap
