Reviewer: Subrat Nayak - India

It's a nice phone with all the features that a person is looking for.
Reviewer: Kunal - India

I have been waiting for this phone for a long time, today I actually got my phone in my hands & all I have to say is that Nokia pulled it off very nicely, it's a complete IPHONE killer it's got better features GPS, battery life is good, video recording & the speakers which are totally awesome, they have a crystal clear sound output & they are loud.
All in all a very good package for a very reasonable price.

Having used this phone for nearly 2 weeks I think I can leave a little review on how I found the phone.
Firstly I got mine from Hong Kong & it all arrived with English instructions which is a good start
The phone itself is really nice to hold in the hand & I have the red version which in my opinion is the better out of the blue. Have not seen the black one.
Very easy to use, touch screen is way better than an htc touch diamond which I have owned, but not quite, but not far off the iphone which I have also owned.
Reviewers put this phone in the mid range category & I cannot see why. It is fully feature packed & really the only thing which lets it down is the extremely poor 3.2 megapixel camera. Only any good for photos in bright light, otherwise it's pointless. However I am not a big camera phone user so it doesn't bother me that much.
The sound quality & volume levels on this phone are amazing. On the loudest setting for ringtones it is like having a hi fi in your pocket. The speakers are very good indeed & very well placed on the phone. I have never missed a call yet & the same can be said about message tones
The GPS works very well & the Nokia maps is a joy to use with the touch screen.
The phone, as you know is new to the market & due for release in a few weeks in the UK. The phone I have & many others that I have been reading about are a little buggy.
- Screen changes colour sometimes.
- Call volume sometimes fluctuates.
- Accelerometer is overly sensitive.
- There are few more little bugs if you read about it on symbian forums or Nokia discussions.
All in all I am over the moon with my phone & can see me keeping it for a while. Will probably improve overtime with firmware upgrades so something to look forward to.

This phone is looking great but camera is not 5 MP. Let see sound quality of this phone. I am just waiting for this, because I have to choose one phone between Sony Ericsson W595 & Nokia N85. Regards, Ranjeet.

Reviewer: Tarun - Ambala, India

Great! At last a touch screen phone from Nokia. Sounds great 8GB, good camera, great battery backup but if you are looking for a camera phone then not that god an option better buy Sony c902, Samsung touchwiz & it is quite overpriced 19k! Hope to see the phone soon.
