Thats Right! Its here and all ready to get your hands on. My Personal favourite from the Nseries Desk is out for sale and that too at an amazing price. We had a launch event in Delhi lately and following is what Devinder Kishore, director-marketing, Nokia India, said, “N85 was created to be more than the sum of its parts, offering a complete mobile entertainment package. Combined with landscape gaming and dedicated gaming keys for additional comfort, the phone breaks the boundaries of mobile gameplay.

Well, just not gameplay but it totally matches the N96 in every aspect and is better in terms of Battery Life, Design and OLED screen. The phone comes with an 8GB microSD card, which allows storing up to 6,000 music songs. It powers up to 30 hours of music playback time. The built-in FM Transmitter allows users to play music wirelessly through a car or home stereo. The phone also has a 3.5mm headset connector and dedicated music keys.
