Nokia N85: Better Than Its Predecessor, and Probably Every Nokia Phone Right Now

It's no secret that Nokia's N81 slider, while offering gamers and music lovers dedicated buttons for both pleasures, was not a great phone. In fact, it was a lousy phone, prone to firmware bugs, poor imaging, and build quality that did not befit a $500 phone.

So it IS comforting to see that Nokia took the N81, improved it in almost every possible way imaginable, and released it as the N85. Among the new features is an AMOLED display (for extremely vivid, fluid video), a dual-slide a la N96 which provides both gaming and music keys, an integrated GPS, 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, and almost 7 hours of battery life.

We'd also have to say the N85 is in many ways better than Nokia's current flagship smartphone, the N96.
