Menu, hardware

It’s worth starting with the display. This is not the first Nokia to have a QVGA resolution OLED screen, 7900 Prism had a similar thing, but in this case the 2.6” diagonal is fuc… ahem… really great. Why is OLED good? No, not because it’s expensive, but it because we can see the same thing from all angles, it has high contrast and it even has a low consumption. When put near N79, N85 is simply beautiful, and this is the most evident when we’re looking at pictures on the screen, but it’s great for everyday use as well, although bright sunlight makes this one unreadable too.

The soul of N85 is of course Symbian 9.3, which has Series60 platform running on it, version 3.2. We again have those cool animations in the menu like on N78; to tell the truth the system is the fastest when we disable these, which is no wonder, as this handset has the 369 MHz Freescale ARM11 CPU, just like almost all Nokia smartphones since a while ago (with the exception of N96 of course). We have the benchmark results again:

You can see that N85 has about the performance we might expect based on the raw specifications, and this is all right. Two things are noteworthy about browsing the menu: the first is the navi-wheel feature, which makes it possible to make circular motion with our fingertips on the navigation key and thus move around, while the other feature is the built-in motion sensor, which rotates the picture automatically, according to the phone’s position. As for me, I’m okay without any of these features, although the second one might come in handy when using multimedia functions.

We have already written a lot about the Symbian system that can be highly customized with themes, we even have a dedicated article, and reviews of N78, N79 or N96, which have almost exactly the same software, can also be a good place to start at if we need additional information. Now, for the sake of simplicity, we’d like to show you the system with an almost 10-minute long video:
