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 (QVGA, 240 x 320 pixels) with up to 16 million colours, 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.

Including 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.

  • Wow a great phone. I cant wait to see and use on my hands this handset. Posted by Jun, Brunei darussalam
  • MOST UNRELIABLE PHONE IN MARKET
    A NEW NOKIA N85 WAS PURCHASED DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER 2008 AND WITHIN TWO DAYS OF USAGE, THE PHONE WAS FOUND DEFECTIVE. WHEN THE SELLER WAS CONTACTED, HE EXCHANGED WITH A NEW ONE.
    UNFORTUNATELY THE SECOND PHONE ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS THAT OF THE FIRST PHONE.
    THE SAME WAS GIVEN IN NOKIA SERVICE CENTER AT BANGALORE UNDER JOB CARD NO. 336343506/081213/14 ON 13/12/2008, WHERE IN THE SERVICE CENTER HAD PROMISED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH A TARGET DATE ON 27-12-2008. WHEN CONTACTED ON 27TH THE CENTER IN CHARGE INFORMS THAT IT SHALL TAKE 7-8 DAYS MORE.
    WILL SOMEBODY INTERVENE AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY BY GETTING A NEW HANDSET IN PLACE OF A DEFECTIVE ONE, OR ARRANGE FOR A REFUND OF THE MONEY SO THAT A DIFFERENT MODEL COULD BE BOUGHT.

    I FIND THIS MODEL IS MOST UNRELIABLE PRODUCT.     Posted by Thejaswi, Bangalore
