Nokia N96 and N85

[martynh]

Anyone know when they are out here in the UK, got a LG Viewty but want to go back to Nokia when my contract is up.

Next few months, depending on network.

N85 looks decent, N96 waste of time/money.

Check the specs.

N85 is a far better prospect. No UK network offers DVB-H

 

[martynh]

Thought the N85 looked a bit sleeker then the N96, bit like an Ipod.

 

[beatjunkie]

they look very similar, doesnt look much better than n95 to be honest, iphone way forward?

 

[Tom]

FP2 has some nice improvements

 

[martynh]

Fp2?

 

[Tom]

Feature pack 2

 

[martynh]

Ah, any ideas when the N85 would be out on T-mobile?

There's a unconfirmed rumour that Nokia have up'd the storage on the N96 from 16 to 24gb.

The website i read this from has since brought the page down. Possibly because Nokia have picked up on this or it's a complete lie.

I've been looking at the n78. Although it's not a slide phone, it looks quite good!

The FM transmitter on the N85 will be pretty useful . Can't see the point in the N96 tbh , just larger storage than the N95 .

i am liking the OLED on n85 so better battery life, just hope cpu is decent to handle tom tom, and if the newer symbian will allow tom tom to run

 

[jimbo666]

now I'm stuck between the n78 n79 and n85! They all have the same feature pretty much. Help!

 

[beatjunkie]

Anyone know if its (N96) gonna be out on orange?

 

[jimbo666]

as far as i've read its not going to be. only option is going to be other network or sim free
