I am planning to give my wife a big surprise with tiffany and co as a birthday gift, but I don’t know which one to choose, any ideas?

I get this tiffany & co from my grandmother when she passed, but I would like to know if it’s definitely real, how can I do this?

I like the screen on Nokia N85 better than N95 8GB because of improvement in brightness, color, and sharpness.

n85 screen is tiny and feels like a huge backward step if you;ve had n95 8gb. sent mine back and will wait for n97

Can’t believe what shocking resolution these both have, at 320×240…even the iphone has more than this (480×320). I thought the Nokias had really high resolution, shame!

[...] mod clar nu este un telefon finut, de poseta. Pentru asta as recomanda si eu, mai degraba Nokia N85. Modelul N96 este mai mare, mai puternic, mai sanatos, cum zice romanul. Este chiar un pic mai mare [...]

I guess it’s a perception thing, but to me N85 screen looks ALOT smaller than N96, and I had both in hand at the same time

Hi people. I’m Italian and scuse me for my mistakes.

I read more and more about this N85 and… It has convinced me! Ok, the screen will be a 2.6″ and not 2.8″ but this is not important for me. I prefer quality and not .2″ size. Also, the dimension of n85 are smaller than n96.
Infact are 103x50x16mm and weight 128g. (Excuse me but i don’t know in inches) The out audio power is fantastic and you can recharge via USB. Have also the FM Transmitter! In Italy is forbitten but… I’ll use it in my car or at home, obviously

Natural… A N8x series is normally have less features than N9x series. But this time, Nokia had worked fine!

Last thing… price. In Italy the N85 cost 450€ (euros). The N96 cost 720€!!!!!! For what? Only a “larger” screen and dvb-h, not available till end of this year (this is the hope of n96 users).

No no no, i prefer the N85 and I agree with J_UK: The N85 is the best Nokia multimedia device at the moment.

Hi Jay

I bought an N96 from cpw and it’s superb. The cpu is only slow if you dont charge it for 16hrs. I charged mine for 16hrs and the cpu is considerably fast. I can watch movies in high quality gaming is good quality (better than me N95)and the battery lasts me at least two days and by then it still has 2 bars. only bad think about the N96 is the camera sometimes blurs when you click the capture buttons and the live tv is useless for now. If the N96 had the OLED display, 8mpx camera and same screen size but a lighter and smaller and slimmer case then I can bet you the N(^ would be beta but in my opinion the N96 is beta than most phones but I would like it to be a bit cheaper, maybe £450

I also think(like Jemma, because u loose everything if its repaired in service) that memory on card is more better solution than internal memory(maybe its a little bit slower response,but…). And one more thing, i had iphone 8gb and in one year of using it, i never fill more than 40% of memory. Means, i payed 8gb and never use more than 3gb. I wll wait for n85.

N85 is the best all round nokia available at the moment……………. .

Its the upgrade from N95 8GB (which sud have been N96)

i wrote a whole page of info regarding the difference between N85 and N96 but jus as i finished it deleted it by mistake so am gona make it short n sweet.

Have had my N96 for 2 weeks returning it back and waiting for N85

N85 faster CPU then N96

DVB-H not available in UK till approx 2012

N9 doesnt have 3D accelerator, N85 does- This effects the gaming experience and also video recording quality.

slow CPU plus 16GB on N96 makes browsing through the fone/starting apps very slow and keeps lagging

Battery Power Difference…talk time, video playback etc………..

U can charge N85 through USB but not with N96

Beta FM Transmitter on N85

N85 has lens cover N96 doesnt

Nokia N85 has new screen technology called AM OLED (this makes viewing vids/pics etc more desirable

N85 has smaller in size (screen size 2.6″) more comfortable to hold but N96 has bigger screen 2.8″

Build quality is rubbish on N96, makes it feel cheap

Navi Wheel on N85 not on N96

theres plenty more stuff which are not so important but cant rememba at this moment… my overall view the upperhand N96 had was DVB-H but it not availble yet… i wud different go for the N85 cos its most hightech Nokia multimedia fone available at the moment…………..

But if u not really botherd about functons and u need a good Nokia fone jus go for the 6300 its a brilliant fone to use for just for fone calls…………

u really dont get what im saying do you?!

basically internal memory is crap, unless you have the option to have a memory stick in it, then its ok, i think all fones without memory card slot, are crap, because so much things will go wrong, when your phone has to be repaired, and trust me it will hav to be repaired because the n95 and the 8gb version has so many issues, its unreal!!!!!

in reply to your comment john, the internal memory issue youve brought up isnt really an issue, id say its a possitive for the n85, becasue if something goes wrong with your phone,and it has to be repared, they send it away, amd wipe off anything on the actual phone, as i found out, but with the n85 u can simply save it all to your memory card and its safe.

for me i dont like internal memory, unless you have the option to have a memory aswell!! a bit like the n95 8gb, i dont like that, but the 16gb samsung internal memory is ok because you still have the option for a memory card, but this is my personal opinion, and every body is different
