Reviewed by Tebeb Ayele on 09/11/2011the answer for "the best nokia ever made..." is n 85 the body design, the visual effect, data transfer speed....every thing is best and n85 is the best phone i ever had lolz Rating: Reviewed by pboy on 03/11/2011 boring. Not a good phone Rating: Reviewed by John on 01/09/2011 I bought my N85 a few months ago. It was intended to be a stopgap while my venerable N82 wss being repaired, but I rather liked the N85 so am still using it. I agree that there are problems with the N85, even with latest firmware and known-good peripherals (SanDisk 8GB micro-SD memory cards etc. -Nokia seem to be very particular about memory card compatibility) but now that I understand why there have been issues with terribly slow GPS lock times, for instance, I am still impressed with the overall product. It has not fallen apart, it has tolerably good battery life, it has all the functions that I have traditionally required of any Nokia phone, and it is small and unobtrusive. Good enough for me, anyway! Rating: Reviewed by G Hall on 31/08/2011 Had a number of Nokia phones over the years but this has been the worst overall. Out of the box look good and seemed fine at first but has aged quickly. The build quality has been poor .... the plastics have pealed away over time and the software has been so unreliable. Have spent the last month rebooting and reinstalling the software as the phone freezes all the time for 5 to 10 seconds. Poor software has been the Nokia downfall. I can see why Nokia are struggling. Thought I would stick with Nokia for years to come but have just bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro Android phone.....Oh and what on earth were Nokia thinking with Ovi Suite? What a mess. Rating: Reviewed by stuart on 12/08/2011 the nokia n85 is simmiler to the nokia n95 iv had both these mobiles thay are very good mobiles Rating: Reviewed by Iulian on 06/06/2011 For what you pay you get a lot.All of those who had problems with it:maybe the phone wasn't made in Finland,mine is,and not a problem yet(using it for 2 years now). Rating: Reviewed by Inzargi fr US on 18/05/2011 I bought this phone about a year ago, big mistake and it wasn't worth me my bucks. When I first had it, there were no probs at all. (Got some great shots with the camera too) Till one day, I noticed that it restarted by itself, it didnt happen so often. The slide is also very weak, it feels lose after opening and closing it for many times. I dropped my phone like a couple of times,no big ,but then dropped it again one day...and a small piece of the side chipped off. Major put-off! To add on: poor battery life,lags here and there,phone freezes in a while. Im still using it now ,so far so good... I managed to keep in in good shape. I handled it so delicately. One thing's for sure is that I'm nvr buying any Nokia phones again!EVER! I'm going for either a Sony Ericsson X series or an iPhone. :) Um if ur considering about buying this phone, I suggest u look over for something better. Peace ... Rating: Reviewed by Haru on 09/05/2011 Have had this phone for about 7 months. Crashed here and there, patchy internet, GPS not working, and sometimes not making calls, but I was still happy with it. Worked around those issues and the phone didn't trouble me since...until today...when the USB port inexplicably broke. The phone is now useless to me. Rating: Reviewed by Kyara on 09/04/2011 Nokia N85 is good. I just hate the fact that the camera shutter sound cannot be disabled, and that when I browse in the internet, the mouse pointer is so messy like that Rating: Reviewed by Andy on 03/04/2011 The worst phone i've ever had. I've had nokias since the late 90's but won't have another. I've had three of these phones and they've all had problems. Totally useless and i'm considering using a four year old samsung instead and selling it on until my contract runs out. I was originally impressed but it rapidly let me down and it keeps getting worse. My first switched itself off and refused to work when i was 400 miles from home. Not ideal. Rating: Reviewed by Ella on 29/01/2011 Nokia N85 is the best so dont go mocking it because its the best phone ever. Even better than the iphone Rating: Reviewed by Dazz on 21/01/2011 I Love this mobile phone. Most of your comments with Freeze/low battery problems is due to if you dont exit the apps they still run in standby. phone is good soild build and never had a problem with it. 10 out of 10 also it supports the new micro sd 32 gig card Rating: Reviewed by adrian on 20/01/2011 worst phone i have ever had... completely went dead 6 months ago, was told by a repair shop there is nothing they can do + phone was out of warranty when it broke down Rating: Reviewed by Giacomo on 01/12/2010 The worst telephone on the planet! Nokia give me my money back! After this I will never buy a Nokia phone! Rating: Reviewed by Rob on 19/11/2010 Ok. So the N85 could be a good phone if it worked! From new (about 18 months ago) the battery life was extremely poor - only about 5 days at best. Recently this has gone down to less than 2 days. Also the phone will now only take a charge while switched off. If I connect the charger to the phone while switched on it constantly changes from charging to charging complete every few swconds or so. The result is that even after some hours the phone remains uncharged. Nokia have let themselves down with this phone. Rating: Reviewed by Steven P on 10/11/2010 Totally agree. I am on my THIRD replacement of the N85 in one year....after choosing it as an upgrade. The first one kept freezing and making a buzzing noise when you charge it and switch the handset off. The replacement still had similar bugs such as resetting the time and date sometimes, and buzzing again when plugged into the mains and being turned off at the handset...also very slow. The navigation panel actually came unstuck and fell off after about 3 months. Then the camera button became loose...... Then the navigation panel stopped working completely so had to get another replacement. Would NEVER recommend this handset, it's the worst I've ever had. I've never had problems before with a handset, apart from an internal battery die from old age, but this phone is riddled with bugs Rating: Reviewed by wasanokiafan on 22/10/2010 I always specified Nokia until this phone but never again. It has a lot of features but most have some faults. So far my phone performance has been hit and miss at best. At first it would continually shut down which I found out was faulty battery connections. Then the lights on the key pad would stay on randomly. Recently it has started freezing, sound quality on the ear phone has deteriorated and the screen is now starting to die. Also the charger will sometimes not work and although connected to the charger will sometimes not charge leaving me with a flat battery in the morning. If you want to become expert at pulling your battery out multiple times a day then buy this phone. Otherwise buy something else. I have had my phone for less than a year so far and am replacing it soon. Sadly this one is about to be donated for parts. Rating: Reviewed by Nicola on 22/10/2010 Have always had Nokia phones so thought that the nice sleek design of this phone was a bonus - how wrong I was! Just like other reviewers, my phone just has re-occuring problems all the time. It shuts itself down when it pleases, it greets me with a black screen on occasions, the screen freezes all the time, the signal just drops in and out constantly to name just a few. I am currently on my FIFTH handset in 12 months!! I CANNOT wait til my contract runs out. My advice would be not to buy this phone, I have had no end of problems with it and feel let down by Nokia. Rating: Reviewed by Deandre on 04/09/2010 this phone is an absolute nightmare!!! i got it a year ago and since then i've had more software problems than anyone i know!! i do not recommend this phone to anyone!! i'm fed up with nokia's good looking phones but when you take an indepth look at it you find that it is rotting inside!!! i should have gone for the sony ericsson w995 instead....i have been a patron to nokia but i think i'm going to switch to sony ericsson or samsung because nokia's latest phones are rubbish!! Rating: Reviewed by Fahim on 31/08/2010 I have been using this phone since march 2009. The best feature of it is the amoled display.It is colourful and very crisp.The camera is the best one I've ever used in mobile. The music features could be better.The battery performence is excellent.So far I've not faced any software problems.If you don't like touchscreen phones,it can be a good choice. Rating: Reviewed by Frank on 09/08/2010 the phone is absolutely amazing. people who have come across to freezing and crash i advise you to update the phone often as this will make performance better Rating: Reviewed by mike on 07/08/2010 best phone ive ever had, perfect reliability. looking for a new phone now as my contract is coming to an end but will be sad to see the back my n85 Rating: Reviewed by Luke on 27/07/2010 Can the administrator please add an option to rate in -stars? as i do not really even want to give this phone 1 star rating because that is too good for it. The first night i had this phone the camera would not load, the battery life is terrible and all i do is make calls i get probably 6 hours of battery life and out of that am on the phone for 2-3 hours. The phone freezes all the time, the phone restarts itself all the time i would be on the phone to someone and all of the sudden the phone restarts and i loose conversation. The intranet is incredibly slow, when i take photos there is massive lag, when i look through my photo gallery the phone can not show all my photos it seems the phone can only load up so much at a time and after that decides it cbf loading so shows the files as corrupt and unreadable even tho they are readable some times. these are all photos i have taken on the phone. lately when i slide the phone up the screen turns off the only way i can use the phone is if i slide it up to a point where i can only press the 1,2,3 key with the tip of my nail. the i phone 4 is out this friday in australia and i just found out i have another 1 year on contract with this POS n85, mate i dont even think i can go another day using this. Rating: Reviewed by ..... on 08/07/2010 great phone recommend it to others people moan about battery life and it falls to bits ? simple as look after it.It is not a brick that your parents might of had in the 50s has good quality and good apps i will always continue to use nokia good reliable technology keep away from sony ericcsons really bad and phone is a phone why spend 400 on a iphone or whatever Rating: Reviewed by Adrian on 08/07/2010 This phone looks great on paper with a lot of features making it a fairly obvious value for money choice. My example has proven to be very unreliable. It would not switch on within 2 months of purchase, requiring a repair of the switch and within 6 months the display had failed and simply remained blank. I purchased it outright so I think it is time to cut my losses, simply throw it away and buy a different brand. A very disappointing effort by Nokia, this model in my mind has tranished their otherwise good name and has guaranteed that I will not take the risk of buying one of their products in the future Rating: Reviewed by MMack on 21/06/2010 Similar story to below Orange very good at replacing my N85 several times now but surely shouldn't have to do that.Got a repalcement a week ago kept switching off and then restarting of its own accord then I had to get it replaced a week later got replacement on 19th June but it does exactly the same problems never a Nokia again Rating: Reviewed by simonblonde on 20/06/2010 This phone has proved to be a technical tour de force so much better than my iPhone 3GS! Phones seem to go backward in technology (take the display) OLED is the way forward, nit even the new iPhone 4 can compete. MAKE SURE YOU DO THE UPDATES WHICH SORTS OUT THE TECHNICL ISSUES ON THE EARLIER PHONES!! Then you will have no problems with it and apart from touchscreen technology, you will have one of the most advanced multi-media phones you can buy!! Rating: Reviewed by James on 15/06/2010 Very poor phone. I had it as a replacement for LG arena (which in hindsight was fab compared to this!) and it's like something sold by Toys R Us. Build quality is shocking - it constantly creaks on front panel, and keys feel like they're about to break. I've had it replaced twice because battery lasts about 12 hours even without any use. I've decided this is something to do with charging from PC. Internet connection speed renders it useless for browsing. Connection not very good either. Verdict - ok as a toy phone, useless for anything else. Definitely look elsewhere if you are considering the N85. Rating: Reviewed by richard on 23/05/2010 ive had my n85 for a year now.yes the battery life isnt the best but it really deserves more than 1 star the fm transmitters a great feature .ive never had any problems with mine.if you want something to whine about try a samsung tocca ultra mobile.truly the worst touchscreen mobile ever made!! Rating: Reviewed by kart on 08/03/2009 sleek phone...wasnt too happy when i first bought it only because the 5800 express music was out of stock..but must admit im REALLY impressed..its fantastic!
