Multimedia
The camera is the same one we have told off already in the N79 review. The lens cover is a nice feature, it protects the lens from dust and it needs an ideal amount of force to be applied in order to open it (e.g. it won’t open and start the camera by itself). There is no Xenon flash, but the 5 megapixel sensor of course has autofocus. The exposure button on the side is very soft, we need to press it really hard in order to make it take the picture after focusing, but at least the software works pretty fast.
The range of settings is the usual, we can see the same on almost every Nseries Nokia model. The photos look astonishing on the phone’s screen, but we can see the flaws when viewing them on a computer. The colors are quite okay, but the pictures lack details, sometimes the autofocus is not perfect either, but we have an impressive amount of image noise in the darker areas. There is quite a lot of room for improvements, this doesn’t live up to N82, but we are already used to Nokia fixing some things, possibly with the next software version.

On the next-to-the-last picture you can see Bocha’s attempt of a tomato soup. A la Toscana.
Videos can be recorded in VGA resolution, at 30 fps, just as usual, we might even record a short documentary movie on the 8 GB card. When browsing the pictures we should slide the cover open, as in this case we can zoom with the press of a button. Otherwise the multimedia menu is almost the same as on the sister models.
I can praise N85 in terms of music. It’s not bad on its own either, it’s loud enough, but it has no distortion (even though there is of course no bass), the FM-transmitter also works perfectly, and although it might have been unnecessary I have been measuring again and I have observed that it has a range of about 3-5 meters. Unfortunately it’s not ideal in a car, we can observe hissing quite a lot of times, but it’s really okay if it’s attached and not moving.
The headset can be taken apart again after the remote, but even if it wouldn’t be this type, we still shouldn’t be panicking, as there is a standard 3.5 mm jack output sitting on top of the phone, so we can attach any headset to it. The software has the usual options, there is nothing exceptional, but we have everything (equalizer, album covers, sorting by ID3 tags), so there’s no reason to complain. We again have two kinds of radios: there is the Visual Radio with RDS that needs a headset in order to function, as that is the antenna, and we have the Internet Radio, which makes use of “mobile broadband”.
