@Hitesh
N85 is perhaps an upgraded version of the N82 and may be you can wait a bit for the pricing information to be out
@ All
N85 is a sort of Cheap version Of N96 with OLED Screen, Dual Slide and Better Battery Life.
N85 is not an upgrade of N82 (N82 is candybar phone)
N85 and N79 will be out in the market this December. I personally had a word with The N Series Production Manager on these mobiles and these are simply phenomenal.
You guys can contact me for more info
