N85 and N79 step onto US soil
By Mike on 15 December 2008
NEW YORK, USA – News of the N97 injected an understandable yet near-paralyzingly excited and blinkered view on the Nokia of tomorrow, but with the N85 and N79 landing Stateside today it pulls pertinent focus on the Nokia and Nseries of today. See, here’s a duo of handsets that, like the N97, were keen to innovate in classic Nseries style – the N85 in part with it’s OLED and battery talents, while the N79 shook things up with its custom design quirks.
So with this in mind, it seems only fitting to revisit these devices, and highlight some of the videos and articles that engaged back when the N85 and N79 were first showcased to the world back in August.

Nokia N85
Nokia N79
N85 snips the safety cord with sharp OLED and battery skills The new N85 is openly pushing the envelope on the power-friendly front to ensure we feel more relaxed and uninhibited about using those favoured battery-intensive features to the fullest. Continue reading >>
N79 automatically tailored to taste The N79 comes with a handful of interchangeable Xpress-on covers that feature an embedded chip to enable the replacement of a cover to automatically trigger the on-screen theme to morph accordingly. So, with this in mind it’s interesting to consider the possibility of your physical taste being able to influence or at least suggest the sorts of things you might like to find on your phone.

I do too enjoy the corporate communication from Nokia.
However, I’d wish Nokia could calm down their prices on the N85.
It is available at 500€ on the French site, but at 650€ in stores ! WTF !
I can afford one, but it is way too much for what it is ! And I’m probably to get another device or a netbook.
Not to mention that being sold exclusively by Orange France, N85 devices has not VoIP client ! No WiVoIP because greedy Orange said so !
That is not acceptable and Nokia should be more protective of the interests of their clients and just slam down the capricious mobile carriers.

These phones have great features, but what about the browser? We worked hard to bring a complete, desktop-quality Web browser to these and other S60 phones, based on the same WebKit engine that powers the iPhone browser and Safari.
Seems to me that having the whole Web in your pocket is a top feature of these phones.

I’m totally in love by the N79, like he said, an intelligent design! I already missed this from Nokia!
