"Great features good size, but Nokia's quality slipping." on by sdsem
Pros: The 5 megapixel camera is terrific, outstanding call quality, good image quality on the screen, web pages load quickly.
Cons: I had to return the phone to Nokia because of a defective earpiece. Build quality definitely not as solid as my previous N80. If you roam Nokia's user forums you'll read about a bunch of issues, most of which, in fairness, I haven't experienced.
Summary: You can't beat the camera. My N80 didn't have autofoucs, which resulted in a lot of blurry shots.In casual situations with my teenage sons, when they might freeze up if I took out my Nikon, they'll let me take the photo on the N85, and the quality of the picture allows you to make a decent sized print. That's the main advantage of the N series 5 megapixel phones over the iPhone, imho. I'm not a heavy text messager and don't often use my phone to send email, so the lack of a qwerty keyboard or push email isn't a deal breaker for me. Nokia maps has worked well when I've needed it.
