nokia46 Nokia N series N85 Makes Its Debut on Orange Nokia N85 UK

The high specification N-Series range of Nokia phones has expanded again to include the new Nokia N85, a multimedia mobile phone that closely resembles the previous Nokia N96 release and holds some exciting features that consumers have come to expect from this high end range of devices.

Originally launched as a SIM free mobile phone with no network ties or ongoing line rental costs the new Nokia N85 can now be connected to Orange with a range of competitive tariffs, affordable packages and free gifts.

Owning a mobile phone by signing up to a minimum term contract deal is far from buying a SIM free mobile phone as the Nokia N85 was first offered, firstly and probably most importantly the handset is subsidised by the network meaning that they will not pay the 'true' value of the handset.

Instead of paying for the entire price of the Nokia N85 up-front in one payment the customer instead pays an ongoing line rental charge with a set amount of minutes and text messages bundled together, this means that the handset is far more affordable at point of sale and the consumer benefits from inclusive free calls and text throughout the contract period.

With a strong lineup of multimedia features, the Nokia N85 is taking the world of mobile convergence to the next level. Gaming, photos, navigation and music blend together with the newest Ovi and third party services via 3.5G HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity to make discovering and sharing experiences quick and seamless.

While it comes out of the box with a multitude of powerful functionality, the pre-loaded Nokia Download! application makes the Nokia N85 truly customizable by offering a wide range of bespoke content. This includes an outstanding selection of world-class branded entertainment content, the latest in mobile gaming and dynamic applications so users can really make their device their own.

A state-of-the-art 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and bright dual LED flash captures clear, sharp images as well as DVD-quality videos at 30 frames per second. Combined with A-GPS it is possible to geotag favorite pictures to see where each photo was taken using the Nokia Maps application or online sites such as Share on Ovi or Flickr.

The Nokia N85 is pre-loaded with at least 10 made-for-mobile N-Gage gaming titles that jump off of the screen thanks to the dazzling OLED display and a voucher to activate one full game license. Dedicated gaming keys light up when the device is in landscape gaming mode to further enhance the action-packed experience.

Each Nokia N85 comes with an 8 GB microSD card, up to 30 hours of music playback time and its high-fidelity sound means favorite tracks can be enjoyed virtually anywhere. Build a personal music collection from the millions of tracks and playlists available from the Nokia Music Store or other online music vendors, or synchronize PC and mobile music libraries via USB cable.

Alternatively, consumers can enjoy RDS radio or a wide selection of stations via the internet. The 3.5 mm audio jack makes connecting a top-quality headset simple and an in-built FM transmitter lets the Nokia N85 play wirelessly through a car or home stereo to really crank up the sound.

Although initially only availble as a SIM free mobile phone and on the Orange UK network the Nokia N85 is expected to be picked up by further network operators over the coming days further expanding the number of tariffs and packages available and allowing consumers to get the closest deal to their current usage requirements.
