i need a new fone in 20K budget STRICT...
5mp camera, music main criteria...flaunt value also important

zeroed in to these fones....i guess xenon flash not so imp ...

the sliders look sexy. the 3.5mm jacks wud be very ehlpful...i heard the 8gb versions are some 24K for n95 n 85..cant afford those

wat r the costs of these fones?? any suggestions as to what to buy??

PLZ HELP!!!!!!!

N95 is ancient, N96 is overpriced, Get the N85.

If your budget is strictly below 20k, then get N79 rather then N82 as xenon flash not so imp 4 u..
Cost of N95 8GB =24k,
N85= 23k...

if im gonna get th n95, ill get the 2gb version...which is around 19k...is thr a similar 2gb model for the n85?? if yes, ill take that 1....
plz tell me if such a version exists n if yes,how much for...

i luv the sexy style of the n85...wud be perfect if i cud get my hands on it for <20k

Get the N85. It is teh 1337 phone. N95 is obso1337.

You can also take a look at Samsung U900 Soul. It is under your budget. Sexy Samsung Slider with a 5 mp camera.

BTW, Happy Birthday.

Music fone : N85
Camera Dude: N82
N95 is obsolete...now

u want music then get N85....but i've heard dat in the latest firmware of N82 the music

To all prospective buyers please do not put ur hard earned money on this piece of crap called nokia n85.
This is my personal experience. I bought this mobile for Rs 24000 but had to sell it after 3 days at 19000.
1. Loose slider,loose numeric keypad (believe me u can take it out just by putting your nail under its lower end), it is made of very thin cheap plastic. Battery cover is also loose with play.
You can not type without looking at the numeric keypad, small flat keys in level with each other and the surrounding area.
2. Camera is worse than my earlier n82,lack of xenon flash,poor camera butten,fails to lock focus even on repeated pressing. Poor feel of camera button.
3. OLED screen- good contrast but oversaturated colours, very poor performance in direct sunlight.
4. USB charger- more wear and tear at single point. The 2mm charger is most durable.
5. Fm transmitter poor signal, very poor sound quality in car fm radio as compared to an mp3 cd being played in the same unit. it is only a gimmick.
6. Slow fp2 interface,poor graphics(no 3d accelerator)just compare the photo gallery with n82 (n82 has a graphic accelerator and dual processor)
I had to revert back to my old faithful n82 which i think is still the best nokia smartphone.lookswise also n82 black looks bettr than n79 which looks similar to some cheaper models of nokia

^^^^ sorry to hear that u got a very faulty n85. Quite a few early adopters are suffering from it. Nokia quality control is not that great i guess.

Mine is working fine. Only problem is gps is not working properly.Seems like its a software problem. Yeah slider is a bit wobbly but pretty better than n95 8gb. Not much of a worry.

Camera is better in bright daylight than n82. There is software bug which causes low performance in low light situations right now. This will get rectified with future firmware updates. Those dual leds are no match for xenon flash of n82. Though u can make pretty decent videos in low light/ no light with those leds which is not possible in n82 .I dont have any problems with keypad. I simply love the gorgeous oled screen. n82 screen does not stand a chance against it. Direct sunlight legibility is a problem but only in direct bright sunlight and u dont stand in sun all the time, now do u ? Direct sunlight performance of n82 is not that great either. n95 8gb shines in this aspect.

Those fancy animations make phone interface slow. Its better to switch them off. I found n85 to be faster than n82. I have used n82 for 10 months, hence have first hand experience with it . I prefer usb charging. Fm transmitter have low range but quality is pretty good. Depends on the location of fm antenna in ur car.Mine is inside the car hence i get pretty good results with fm transmitter.

And all this fuss abt graphics accelerator, only a handful of games use it. That gallery problem u mentioned is not related to gpu. I do not find much difference in gallery application, maybe n82 a tad bit faster. Mind u n82 is out for a year and fully matured device, on its fourth firmware update. I will give n85 some time before making any conclusions.

Also the first day i went to shop to get n85 , the handset i shown to me was wobbly as hell, navi wheel not working. It was a faulty unit. Sorry to hear u got such a faulty unit.

Of the three nokia phones i used in recent time, n82 , n95 8gb and n85 , I am equally impressed with n82 and n85. As for now the best n series till date is n82 , though n85 has every chance to beat it once it becomes fully matured

And the upcoming n85 refresh with xenon flash will surely overtake n82 .

lol One more reason to get N82 for under 20k =>
You can now play Quake 3 Arena (yup the PC version) on it courtesy of the 3d chip

Alright then ...getting my new fone this sunday. So its either 82 or 79. Im not fnatic for xenon flash, music big importance n want gud stylish look 2. The xpress smart covers help here. N since 82 is so much older, i expect 79 too just get better here onwards. Getting it for 19.5k so going for it. Thats cool rite??

any last min suggestions??

dude N79 has "darkscreen resolution & much slower than N82 "

then N79 not much good in music when compared to Wseries of SE , the slightly better than N82 , the firmware updated in the N82black has same SQ as N79.

n85 has major firmware update

between n79 and n82 .. n82 anyday..

but comparing music quality, which among the three is best?

Good decision. All things considered and also considering that u r not fanatic for xenon, N79 is the best all round buy at the moment.

I would have bought it for myself if the 5800 had not been announced :))

N85 > N79 > N82

But the difference is only marginal, atleast through headphones.

Difference between n85 and n82 through ep 630 is very much noticable.

well then all I have to do is to wait for the user reviews on 5800Xm before decding which to uy. Seems N85 is clearly the best performer and also looks a lot better than N82.

Here is one nice user review of n85

Oh..ya..read it from gsm arena..dats a good news 4 N82 users..out there

yogi thnx for that link.

Guys, do you think the price for N85 will fall down early next year??? It would be a real sweet deal for sub 20K

n85 price should fall in coming two months. At its current price of 23k, its overpriced. It would be a nice deal for 18-19k..

just got my new n79 n lemme tell u it was definitely worth it...will give a short review later...now going off for vacations with family with my baby n79

PS: got it for 19.8K

Hey congraz man

thnx man

Is it true that the normal 2 mm Nokia charger does not work with the N85? I read that the N85 has its own separate charger which works only with the N85 !!!

If true, then thats a very heavy price to pay for getting the USB charging option.

Yes, that's true. The N85 charger has a microUSB connector. But I don't see how that is a problem.

In case of other Nokias, if you are outside your home and your battery is low, you can charge your Nokia anywhere using your friend's charger.

With the N85 u become too much dependent on your own charger, so you can't charge it anywhere else, unless u carry ur charger with you everywhere.

either carry ur charger or carry micro usb data cable and charge it with nearby pc. And dont worry , battery life of n85 is just fantastic.. much much better than n82 and any of n95s ..
