Nokia N85

Aug  08

Along with announcements of the Nokia N96 and Nokia N79, the folks over at Espoo also unleashed the new Nokia N85 multimedia computer featuring a 2.6 inch, battery-saving OLED display. The feature set is pretty similar to the N79, including the integrated FM transmitter, 5 megapixel camera, HSDPA and Wi-Fi support as well as 10 pre-loaded N-Gage games.

Where it differs is in its dual slider design and of course the display technology. When the phone is in landscape mode, the gaming keys light up for an enhanced experience. The camera on this baby can shoot videos at 30 fps - which you can store on the included 8GB microSD memory card.
The N85 features a standard 3.5mm audio jack and, with the built-in FM transmitter, you can play your music through your car or home stereo.

The Nokia N85 will be available starting October 2008 for &eur;450 before taxes and subsidies.

One of the hot phones of the year, the Nokia N96, will finally arrive at the American shores in Q4 of 2008. The N96 was introduced to us in the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and will be targeted at 3G/HSDPA networks. Featuring a 2.8 inch screen, the phone will come with 16 gigs of memory in a sleek package.

Touted as an entertainment phone, it supports a range of video formats (including Windows Media) along with integration with popular video download services, allowing you to purchase, download and play TV shows and movies right on the phone. It features a convenient kick stand for handsfree viewing.

Next, we have two new Stylus models: one “regular” and one “everything-proof”. Both cameras (but especially the Stylus 1040) appear to be — ahem — “inspired” by Sony’s T-series cameras, right down to the sliding lens cover.

  • Priced at $299
