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

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?

Nokia calls it "signature design" or something.
from my observations, sometimes it's better off not knowing.

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.

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...

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.

It does have one, actually N95 8Gb was the first DLNA certified mobile phone
