Hi Steve. It does sound like a good phone but the Voda version is
slightly
different as they have had Nokia adapt it for their services and since
it
has a touch screen element and the key pad is more difficult than the 96
although I'm sure with use it would become easier, I have went for the
6210
navigator. I don't know how accessible the GPS on the 6210 will be nor
the
compass (useless I assume) but I'm not overly concerned about that as
phone
calls, texts and music is what I'm interested in and it will cope with a
16gig card also. If I don't like it, I can return it and I might then
try
the voeda version of the 85 and see how I get on but it isn't available
until the end of this month. Walter.

Walter, I'd only add a couple of other points to what Steve has already
said. I have the N85 also and totally love it. It is much smaller than
the
N95 8GB which I also own. I find the responsiveness with talks very
good
also and it also has some very nice little add ons like the audio
themes.
You can assign sounds to the slide open and close etc. It doesn't have
any
high capacity internal memory like the N95 8 GB though in reality, it
has
good onb board phone memory. You can however get up to a 16 GB Micro SD
card for it.
N85 is very much the way to go. Smiles.
Steve

Walter, I have the N85 and previously the N96. I agree with Steve Nut
in
regards the N96 is too problematic and that's why I had to change to
the
N85...and since I did, I've been highly pleased with it. It only has
the
8gig memory, but how much stuff can you listen to at once! I'ts a
stirdy,
neat slider phone with exellent audio qualities. The daisy player
works
beautifully with audio books and it has an added extra over the N96,
which
is the FM transmitter. You can play a file and tune a regular FM radio
into the frequency of your choice. So, you can easily go about your
business around the house whilst listening to whatever it is you're
listening to over the radio! (at higher volume). It also can be used
with
a good selection of audio themes, which add a little individuality to
your
phone...I don't think you'd be disappointed with it. HTH, cheers
Steve.

Hi Amro. A good player with lots of storage space is what I'm looking
for
and I was given the option of an E model but when I discovered that it
is
business orientated and the music player is basically an add on I
decided
to
stick to the N series. I would just like to know that if I went for
the
N85
I wouldn't be swapping like for like with my N95 as on the face of it,
there
doesn't seem to be much difference apart from the model name. Walter.

Hi Walter, if you don't use your mobile to play music, audio books and
other
media files that often, you can have a look at the Nokia E series
models.
I
personally prefer the E models, I find them more elegant and certainly
smaller than the N models. The E phones are the Nokia business series.
HTH,
Amro

Hi folks. I was speaking to Voedafone today regarding my upgrade.
As
Steve
mentioned last night I asked them about the N85 and the N86. They
don't
do
the 86 but do the 85. What would you say about these handsets; which
of
them is the better option. Of course we are talking about talks here
so
even though a handset might be superior, in the balance when Talks is
added
into the equation, the most technically superior machine might not be
the
"best." The N96 is not very ergonomically
good as a result of it's keypad being so flush. So the N95 and N85
would,
or could be considered superior. If I discounted the N96 and opted
to
either keep my N95 or go for the N85 would I merely be swapping like
for
like? Is there any real difference between the N85 and the N95 apart
from
the N85 being a newer model? All of you who have an opinion and
especially
if you have had experience with any of these handsets your
contribution
would be welcomed. Walter.
