At last Nokia N85

At last bought N85 on 26th Oct for the price of Rs. 24100. This is an excellent piece. I could not afford INNOV8 as its price is nearly Rs.43000. N79 looks too basic and I would miss the great AMOLED display.

The things I have observed.
Pro: 1. Excellent display
2. Animated Themes
3. Navi Wheel
4. FM transmitter
5. Nice glossy finish without showing selection and menu keys (while on standby)
6. Better sliding than N95
7. Seems to be stable software
8. Very good keyboard (better than N95)
9. Good position of speakers
10. 8 GB card included
11. Power save mode
12. Dedicated keypad lock key
13. Settings to have horizontal, vertical or basic toolbar on standby screen
14. More settings for screen saver
15. 3 months license for Nokia Maps
16. 10 free games (choice of 10 of 15)
17. Zoom in & out through Volume keys in Camera Mode
Con: 1. Build quality could have been better
2. Chances to slip out of hand (box should have included hand tag)
3. The Navi Wheel does not work in all menus
4. No explanation about how 'Power Save Mode" helps
5. The download tool does not contain many programs that are compatible
6. Could not install Google Search (Later found that it is already included in Nokia Search)
7. Windows Live cannot be installed (Don't know why?)

Over all I am happy with N85. I hope Nokia will correct their download tool to be compatible with FP2.v
