What is it:
Smartphone with 5-megapixel camera

Typical price:
£357.24

We like:
HSDPA, GPS, wi-fi keep you connected; 5-megapixel camera takes good pics; 3.5mm headphone jack is convenient and well placed

We don't like:
Keys on the keypad could be better defined

The judgement:
The Nokia N85 is another solid Nseries phone from the Finnish company but if you're looking for something different this won't be your bag. What you have with the N85 is a well-designed, feature-packed phone but it's not a million miles away from the N95 - it's just more refined. We still like it and think that as long as you don't mind having a 5-megapixel camera instead of an 8-megapixel one, it's definitely worth checking out.
