GPS, data transfer
N85 has GPS too, and it’s even the Assisted kind, so it makes use of the network as well when determining our position. It connects to the satellites really fast, although at first it only approximates our position, but it still has a precision of about 50 meters (even though I’ve been in the bathroom that has no windows), and then when it finally sees the sky it locates us with maximum precision. We still have to pay for the route planner and voice navigation part of Nokia Maps and I’d rather not pay €99 EUR for this nowadays, but the 3 months of free trial is included again. The satellite view has been impressive as well, Google Maps doesn’t yet know the house where I’m living at, but Nokia does, even though Google performs better in other places.
Theoretically there are no problems in terms of data transfer, but practically but at first I had some problems with this. The Settings Wizard just didn’t want to accept truth, it has found the Vodafone network settings, but it didn’t want to activate them, it just turned on WLAN. A reset helped, but I have been really annoyed by this.
Not counting this little intermezzo, there are no problems, as we have GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and HSDPA support. Besides these there is WLAN, Bluetooth 2.0 (stereo) and USB connection, I had no problems with any of them, they worked nicely. USB transfer was surprisingly fast, it had a speed of about 2 Mbytes/s.
The battery is a BL-5K, it has a performance of 1200 mah. Thanks to this and the OLED screen N85 has a pretty good uptime, I can really imagine that if I hadn’t been talking for hours every day it would have stayed online for not two, but even four days. As for me, I didn’t even use the charger, I can finally say that I have fed a Symbian Nokia from the computer. Hurray!
N85 is a very good handset. This should have been called N96. It’s currently no cheap thing; its price is 20% higher than the one of N79, which has similar features. I trust that this will fall a bit in the future and so I can give this award:
