Camera Nokia’s N85 is equipped with a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with a Carl Zeiss lens and dual LED flashes. There're plenty of settings and features to choose from – Scene modes, red eye reduction, Exposure settings, effects and White Balance. Nokia’s latest edition to the features menus is the ability to customize this tool bar as per your requirement. Images can also be edited in post processing which is entertaining as you can add effects, frames, icons etc. Pictures look quite good in daylight conditions with most details remaining clearly visible. I quite liked the macro images as the colors seem really sharp and clear and again with the details quite evident. The camera functions very well with a 2 second start up and quick access to settings. Videos also look quite good. What I did have a problem with was the fact that the LEDs refused to come on in Video mode with either the Night settings activated or the Video Light on. I’m willing to concede that it was a glitch with just this one handset though; hopefully there won’t be an issue in a boxed handset bought off the shelf. Hopefully. Battery This is where the handset turned out to be quite a disappointment. On a single full charge, with the battery saver mode active I got just a little over one full day’s usage. This was just with average usage like I would use any other handset a few calls, messages, few minutes worth of gaming, net surfing, camera usage and almost 6 minutes worth of video. Talk time clocked in approximately 2 hours and 35 minutes which is really a downer. On the plus side the handset charges through USB so you don’t have to lug the rather huge charger around, just the microUSB cable. That’s another thing. You won’t be able to use most of the standard Nokia chargers as this one uses a micro USB port like only a few other handsets. The Bottom Line The MRP of the Nokia N85 is a little bit of a shocker at Rs. 27, 299. However, according to our sources the street price - I’m sure will be more to your liking if you’re considering a purchase - is Rs. 23, 600 (approx.). This puts the whole thing in a new perspective. It’d be a truly great product and well worth the price considering the freebies included on the bundled 8GB card. The handset on the whole is definitely worth a consideration as a full function device, just keep in mind the battery life, the slight issue with the placement of some of the keys and of course the fact that only one game can be played in entirety.
