Nokia N85: Image Review

N97 aside, the N85 is one of the most recent Nseries devices offering a range of features and combining the best of Nokia into one handset. Many people are calling it the N95 successor, or the better N95 as it takes the flagship’s dual slide design but adds a lot more to it in terms of battery, RAM, internal memory and hardware features. Here is an image review of the N85, but we also have a video review that we will publish later.

The N85 is a slider device. The main unit packs a 2.6″ screen with an accelerometer that rotates the display to landscape when needed. On top of it is the speakerphone with the front camera and the light sensor. Below it are the d-pad which also functions as a Navi-Wheel, the multimedia key and the red and green call keys. Another set of keys, that only light up when the device is being used are the right and left softkeys and the menu button and delete key. Continue reading “Nokia N85: Image Review”

Here are more pics from the Nokia N97 Launch Event in Bangalore. We had a chance to take some pics of the Nokia N97 with the HTC G1, iPhone 3G, E75 and E71. The N97 and G1 are damn close in terms of size.

HTC G1      – 117.7 x 55.7 x 17.1 mm

Nokia N97 – 117.2 x 55.3 x 15.9 mm

Some say the N97 is bulky,  but you will be surprised if you see this handset in person. Its not bulky considering the fact that it has a full keyboard in addition to the touch screen display.

Nokia N86 8MP Hands on Pics from India Launch Event

We grabbed some pics of the Nokia N86 8MP at the launch event in India yesterday. The phone fits really well in the hand and the build quality is really good. There was no wobbling even though the phone has a 2 way slider mechanism. The keypad is really nice with large keys. The home screen had a new clock but could not figure out what exactly it was.The design is very similar to the N85 but its not glossy but a matte finish. Here is the monster 8 MP Camera with Carl Zeiss optics on the back.

It has a nice shutter and the keystand is also present around the camera. A nice metallic is present around the corners of the device and even in the menu key.

Nokia N86 8MP vs N82 Camera Comparison

Today at the Nokia N86 8MP launch event , i had the chance to take a pics with both the N86 and its sibling the N82.  It was not a photo studio so the conditions were not perfect for a comparison.  So the results might not be that accurate.

The Nokia N97 QWERTY Keyboard

Welcome to Day 4 of Search for N Contest to win Nokia N97. The N97 has a revolutionary keyboard.

Today’s question : What are the first six letters in the modern day keyboard layout ? There are a lot of interesting things about the keyboard on the phone.Its got 3 rows of keys which are nicely spaced apart.The first question I asked N97 Designer, Axel Meyer was about the space bar on the QWERTY keypad.The space bar is pretty tiny and finds it place on the right side. Normally one would expect a larger spacebar and also positioned at the center. But Axel suggested that I use the keyboard for a while and see how it worked. After I used the space bar on the right, i actually found it easy to use. It seems that this new keyboard follows haptics effectively(Haptics is study of human touching behaviour)
