What is it: Smartphone with 5-megapixel camera
What we think: A good all-rounder, it looks lovely and it works well, although it's hardly revolutionary
What you need to know

We like:
HSDPA, GPS, Wi-Fi keep you connected; 5-megapixel camera takes good pics; 3.5mm headphone jack is convenient, and well placed
We don't like:
Keys on the keypad could be better defined
CNET UK judgement:
The Nokia N85 is another solid N-series phone from the peeps in Finland, but if you're looking for something different this won't be your bag. What you have with the N85 is a well-designed, feature-packed phone, but it's not a million miles away from the N95 -- it's just more refined. We still like it and think that as long as you don't mind having a 5-megapixel camera instead of an 8-megapixel one, it's definitely worth checking out
