Very Pleased with this phone............
Date: January 16, 2010
After reading some of the negative reviews on this phone AFTER I'd asked for it on upgrade, I was expecting the worst, but I've had it for over 2 months now, and I'm extremely happy with it. The GPS / sat nav feature is very useful, and as it isn't a dedicated navigation tool it copes with ease. The web searching tool works well, and again, because it isn't a fancy laptop or desktop pc, it odes what you ask it to do. The battery life seems fine, but as I use it mainly as a phone and not an internet or sat nav search machine, this may be the reason why. Overall, a surprisingly decent phone, and at the moment I'm glad I've switched back to Nokia, after defecting to Sony Ericcson for a few phones.

Nokia N85
Date: December 17, 2009
I have been using this phone since middle of 2009. The worst Nokia to date. The sliding mechanism to access the music controls sometimes move in my pocket, annoying messages and the navigation needs to connect to the internet . The menu is very slow, basically do not buy this phone

Not bad, not the best...
Date: December 16, 2009
The menu and keys are small hard to text or select a location on it if you have fat fngers like me.the menu takes 1 or two days to get to grips with. if you keys lock then put it into your pocket it has too many small buttons on the side and one of them unlocks the keys locked and starts phoning people from your phone book or starts surfing the net.

use of phone
Date: November 30, 2009
i went from a nokia 6500 classic to the n85 i only used it for two weeks then i went back to the 6500 classic. a message keeps coming up on the screen that you need an internet connection some of the music tracks don't play and you can't delete them. you can't use the maps without connecting to the internet. the phone sometimes slides the other way in my pocket and connects to the internet

Nice bit not an iphone
Date: November 29, 2009
Had this phone for 2 months and i like it.
The fm transmitter is a really good, plays all your phones mp3s in the car through the stereo! the games ar,nt that good.The camera is pretty good. Internet is ok but its not up to iphone standards.The apps are ok but again not as good as an iphone. If you cant afford an iphone or perhaps an N97 i would recommend it.

too slow!!!
Date: November 13, 2009
ive only had nokia as my mobile phone since it came to existence as ive always consider it 'user friendly'. (too lazy to read the manuals). i would say, this is the worst model ive ever bought from nokia as it is too slow, its sooo frustrating, i dont even have a lot in it. i wouldnt recommend it.
