Nokia N85 Review

Messaging:

From here, you can send an SMS, MMS or e-mails. Unfortunately, for the last ones you can only configure one mailbox. At least the settings for the more popular web mail servers (Google, Yahoo) are automatically filled in.


You have a Message reader at your disposal, which is usually seen in the business class devices. For the visually impaired, or just the lazy, , this application can be very handy. When activated, a female voice reads the entire contents of the message, including the name/number of the sender and the title.


Connectivity:

The N85 is equipped with A2DP Bluetooth support and Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) as most smartphones of this price range are.

For quite some time the S60 web browser been one of the best. Although a few steps behind the touchscreen leaders in user-friendliness, it is still very pleasant even for frequent use. Pages render correctly and are relatively easy to navigate through using either the d-pad or the optical mouse. Shortcuts, such as pressing 8 to activate the Panning mode, make the browser even easier to navigate. As found in newer S60 phones such as the Nokia N95 8GB, the browser is capable of handling Flash objects, though large Flash files caused it to choke at times. Most notably, this means that you’ll be able to watch YouTube videos.
