Either get n86 insted of n85 or get n79 insted of n95.

Just get the n86 . You wont be disappointed . Regarding oled screen , 12,000 hrs is LOT of time.

if u have the money for N85 then u should buy N86 only...N86 is way better then N85 in terms of build,camera and the price is too close

if you plan to use ur phone for 25yrs then close your eyes and get N95 8GB :p


seriously dude the display life is not a justificable thingy to make buying decisions , even 3 years life is more than enough for most people out there coz after that the phone gets too old to be used after lotsa wear & tear

and one more thing is that you wont be able to keep the display on for 8 hours a day unless you dont hav any work to do :-?.

so get N86 and forget display life

Forget N95 8gb if u want a phone for 25yrs .. Its slider wont even last whole one yr of decent use .. N82 is the one for 25yr term ..
Dont buy N85 - Its for everyone.. Its a flop show cos of its shoddy build quality ...

Anyways , go and get N86 ..

@utsav- How are pl-30 in comparison to cx400 .. I am planning to get them addition to my cx 400 .. r they worth over cx 400?

^^ PL30 is great man, just close your eyes and get it , its definitely better than CX400 , i have read in some reviews that PL30 lacks bass but to me it sounds perfect after some burn in , it has perfect combination of highs , mids and lows for the price its being offered, a great vfm :) , initially they might not sound good to you coz a burn in period is must for it but out of the box experience is much better than senn CX400

Any phone will last 5yrs if only its main feature is used and that is calling ..

Seriously out of the two I'd pick the N95 8GB. Bigger, clearer screen, better keypad. If you want something to last for 5 years, don't pick anything with moving i.e. mechanical parts like a slider phone. I have an N95 8GB and it's more than a year and a half old, I'd say with care it'd last for 3-4 years. I'd probably sell it before.

Well first of ol if u are planning to use the same phone for a longer period you definitely should not go for a Flip,Slide,Twisted etc...Even a gr8 phone like N86,N95 etc.. will not last a year if u handle it with tenderness care..What i mean is we are human and no one is perfect so one can make any possible mistakes that can damage the phone..When you drop your cell phone whille you slide it up you will not be pliz with the result...I am saying this becoz it had happened to me....hehe
