the same thing happened to mine . another problem happened to my n85 that when i turn it on nothing works it stay stuck and the power button also doesn't work

Have the exact same experience. Am going to take my N85 back tomorrow to see how I go with it

Exactly the same problem with my n85. The front bottom panel was lifting up without proper glue. After 5 days I just got adhesive and carefully
stuck it myself

Regarding the slider wobbling....it's terrible.. deep shit.

Performance was awesome except it hangs sometimes and the music player and the photo viewer has problems. I loaded some 800 pictures and as i am browing it, the pics fail to convert them to thumbnail properly and the images are blurred and the back button fails to respond.


Hope this can be resolved by a new firmware. Hope nokia takes care of it

I have NAM version of N85 and my phone got same crack at the botton of the front facia below the D-pad.

Will Nokia replace the front facia??

i prefer N95 though

I bought a N85-1 from Ebay via Mark's tips on the Live Cashback and Ebay coupon. The thing had a slight wobble and after a month the front plate also cracked in the same place. The earpiece also died on me. Good thing I put a warranty on it through Square Trade so I was able to get my full money back (and I also got extra from the Live Cashback...cool!)

Then I bought a N85-3 NAM from Dell, again via Mark's tip. That N85 is very solid....no wobble at all. I've had it for 2 months now and no cracks or scratches have developed either. I really think they improved production on the NAM version. I am in love with my N85 again.

I've had my N85 since November and I have the same scratches on the keypad. No cracks though. My N85 is barely functional, so scratches are the least of my problems with it.

THAT WAS GREAT

hmm i saw an n85 where the silver multimedia key had come out, i can't imagine this would ever happen on my n96. Build is solid and still works after loads of drops and being covered in water twice, although the camera flash has stopped working

The build quality is not perfect at all. The Eseries are much better on build quality than all the Nseries, despite I own a N78 and for now it has no problems.

Mark,

Video looks good! When I switched to HD, it seemed like the colors got brighter. Keep 'em coming!

where's my free fone?!

hi,
I have n95 8gb for a 4 months.
the slider works fine.
I do not have any cracks.
but, there a a lot of scratches on the numeric keypad.

2.5 months.. still sweet as hell, dropped it today for the first time but not a single scratch, yea i'm pretty happy with it the best Nseries for me so far.

Hey Mark turn you N85 into a N86 8MP from the inside.. check it http://zylam-marex-themes.webs.com/

Later Homie.. Keep chillin.

@marat,

Great. But the article is about the N85.

Looks like you have the euro/asian version and those have had their fair share of defects with the cracking and falling off of the front face plate. I have the NAM version and only after a months use, is still solid even after one drop on the cement. I am crossing my fingers that mine does not develop the crack, soo don't want to deal with nokia's customer support (if its even covered).

@caliboy99, I have the NAM version as well. I'm on my 2nd N85 now. The first one got a crack on the front plate after 2 weeks. I was able to exchange it from Dell. Almost a month now, and everything's perfect so far.
