Nokia has officially announced the launch of the N85 in the UK on Monday.
The new handset will offer a 2.6-inch AM OLED 2.6 inch QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) with up to 16 million colours display, a 5 megapixel camera, and geotagging capabilities.
On the games front, the phone will sport dedicated N-Gage gaming keys and at least 10 pre-loaded demo titles, however consumers can choose one licensed game for free.
Running on the S60 3rd edition, the phone will offer HSDPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.
Sporting GPS, the handset will offer Nokia Maps 2.0 on board and come with an FM Transmitter, with direct access to the Nokia Music Store, power for up to 28 hours of music playback plus 3.5mm headset connector and dedicated music keys for non-stop music enjoyment
Like the N79, also announced today, the new phone includes a microSD card, this time 8GB instead of memory built-in.
The new handset is expected to hit the UK next month

That is quite nice of nokia to bring us a higher end phone with oled (have any other manufacturer brought this to masses,other than in korea/japan).
I think its a big step towards reducing power consumption

This is dedicated announced thread for the N85. Yours is for 2 phones and is a rumour thread.

Hated it's overused N81 like design, Nice work with AMOLED display, though i heard OLEDs die fast
- besides what's the point releasing this one when it has almost similar features as with N96 - 16Gb?
Posted by gola
^^Not only that, but is it only me or does it look exactly like the n96
Posted by WhiteEye
@gola
Nokia calls it "signature design" or something.
Posted by GUCCI.011
Its an N81 successor. From what i remember about "signature design" a range of phones eg. N81, N85, and N96 will share a design, and in this specific range of phones bring something new eg. N81-Ngage, FP2 transitions, Gaming keys.
N85- AMOLED screen
N96- large mass memory (16gb internal) with expansion, 1st globaly released DVB-H NOKIA handset.
Posted by gola
Atleast with the case of the n81, it's different from the n85 and n96, but the n85 and n96 are exactly the same. That's sad, they can call it what ever they want...

What differences in features does it have compared to the n95 8gig?

I know only a little
N85 vs N95 8Gb
-FP2 vs Fp1
-Smaller 2.6" AM(Active Matrix) OLED vs 2.8" AM(active matrix) TFT
-One more LED light vs Single LED light
-74Mb + microSD vs 8Gb
-FM radio + transmitter + RDS vs FM radio only
-UpNp vs DLNA
Posted by mario2004
RDS is meaningless for me (Actually the whole radio thing I don't use on the go at all - I have a car radio for that
)
FM transmiter hmmmm . . . I have a bluetooth car radio for phonecalls and mp3 in car streaming. What exactly is the transmitter for?
And can you elaborate on the last thing? Is greek to me
Do I really need it, or is a extra battery draining gimmik ?
Tx in advance.

N95 8Gb has UPNP too. It does not however have DLNA. i8510 has it though.

It does have one, actually N95 8Gb was the first DLNA certified mobile phone
here's the proof for you to look at:
http://www.dlna.org/news/pr/v[....]2fbee4bed16098aea05f55966e44f5
Posted by djin
Yep, n95 8gb has dlna. Lots of devices have dlna, but they arent advertised.
Posted by mario2004
Hmmm . . . Why then SE makes such a big Hulabwala about it? I thought SE is first with it on the market by the sound of their trumpet
Either way is a useless feature for me
Nice to know is there - somewhere

Hi Mario,
UPNP and even DNLA have been around for quite a while but won't really start to hit mainstream or even be really useful until more TV's and equipment starts coming with it as a standard feature.
I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure that my N93 way back in September 2006 had UPNP and was one of the first devices to do so. Actually the N93 really was quite a breakthrough product and had quite a few first's for a smartphone. I'd still love to see a new version with the same form factor and powered by an OMAP3 chip or similar.
Marc

Yep N93 was a real breakthrough, if NOKIA had added On Demand Paging to it it would've been so close to perfect. Still the only phone with Stereo sound Video Recording (2-mics).
What gets me is that the N78 was just released a few months ago and there's already a replacement for it, N79, and its being released with a great price tag.
N85 and N96 are still pretty different. Its like N92 (N96) and N93 (N85) except now the N92 (N96) has the same camera, internaly both are very different.

N80 was the first nokia to use UpNp (2005)

very nice and interesting device indeed, i would any day choose this over n96, really, because i'm not gonna use the DVB-H reciver or the 16GB built-in memory anyways.
8GB, a fm-transmitter and a compact size is fine for me
Posted by C905
it's going to be a though choice the winter, when i'm gonna have a new phone. i really don't know whether i'm going to buy the X1, C905 or N85 :S

N96- large mass memory (16gb internal) with expansion, 1st globaly released DVB-H NOKIA handset.
* FP2 is more than just transitions btw.
* This design blends features of the N95 (specifically the dual slider - GREATLY improved), and gaming keys from the N81 but with the lighting features on those keys from the N96. Zooming function buttons have been changed to the outer keys that the N95/6 has as well - lighted with indicators; very nice.
* N96 is NOT the first globaly released DVB-H Nokia handset. The N77 was, and prior to that was the N92 being the true first (of course both don't have multi 3G bands for use outside of Europe though).
Someone mentioned that OLED had poor life. Original designs some 6yrs ago yes it did, but its been improved VASTLY and has more life than LED actually now in various versions - Sony has a 7" TV with 720HD already and working on a 40" version.

N77 wasnt global
