nokia n85 or n96

Headshot

which one should i get

the n96 is out now and the n85 is out some time this month(i think)

is there any big differences between the handsets

did anyone get the nokia n96 yet ?
and how does it feel like

n96 can be bought for around 500 euro on ebay

will the n85 be cheaper than that when it comes out

If you want on-board storage, then your choice is the N96. If you want a better screen with better contrast ratio and brightness, you want the N85.

I'd recommend going to GSMArena as you get a better overall picture of the differences between the handsets features when they're shown side by side..

Cites OLED screen as a battery saver BUT visability is an issue outdoors.

Theres also the 5800 Xpress Music to consider, newer OS, prob not as good build quality, but will be out around same time as N85. Larger screen and pretty much same other specs.

n85 for me, dont see any reason to get the n96 when this will be cheaper

thats a interest thing about out door visability but the improve battery is a great plus
remember my n95 mg the battery was pretty bad
ya the 5800 looks good but im not really into touch phones tbh

am i only one who thinks the n96 looks better than the n85 ?

its a hard decision between the n85 and n96

thats my opinion at the moment, but i'll try both out when they arrive. one of the few perks of the job.

You'll probably be waiting until Christmas then...

the n85 is much nicer in hand. And is a good bit smaller too.

Good for you but the poster should be aware when the actual phone is available, be that online or on the rip-off high street
