Black Nokia N85 Expected on March 29th
If you passed on the Nokia N85 in the copper color, perhaps you’ll like the black one. I just checked a major US distributor’s catalog and they show a March 29th expected release date for retailers. I’m not sure about the date in other regions, but I’m going to assume around the same time.

The only difference I noticed from the original Nokia N85 is the back and sides of the phone are black instead of copper. The suggested retail price is $492USD, but I anticipate retailers selling them around $399. For comparison, you can currently find the copper N85 for $379. If you want to know the which retailers will sell the black one, just google the manufacturer’s number, 002H129.

BTW have you seen the All Black N96? looks real sweet-the edges are black instead of that silver touch.
