I think Nokia needs to get real. The prices are too high.
Their prices are quite fair, do you have any idea what phones normally cost?
I can't say I blame Nokia for not submitting to the draconian carrier branding process in the US to get a phone subsidised.
You can use the $15 MediaNet data plan from at&t with the N85
It's a shitstorm in the comments on the Engadget main stie.
For an unsubsidized, unlocked phone I think it's a fair deal. People just need to understand that phones are expensive. It's cheaper than the N95 USED to be and just a few dollars more than it is NOW. And everyone will agree it's better: better screen, microusb sync/charge, smaller, newer OS, FM transmitter, etc. It will probably go down in price in a few months. The Euro N85 is down below $500.
Compared to the $300 price on-contract or the $500 price off-contract from AT&T of the Touch Pro (Fuze), I would say this phone wins. Of course they are very different phones, but for me at least the N85 has all of the important features.
Is it just me or is Nokia violating some sort of trademark by using the colour magenta?
I just picked the N85 up from eBay. Great phone. I'll overpay for an unbranded phone anyday over the junk they offer here.
How are they violating trademarks using magenta? Please explain.
