Cornering the Market on Top-end Mobile Phones – the Nokia N85 and the Glorious Nokia N96
If you’re looking to get yourself a top-end mobile phones this Christmas, look no further than Nokia’s Nseries; whether you go for the incredible Nokia N85 or its huge brother, the super-powered, incredible Nokia N96, you’re onto a winner!
The ancestors of the Nseries – Nokia mobile phones take over the world
When Nseries mobile phones first hit the shelves, everyone basically went, ‘Ooh, nice!’ Right from the early days, it was clear this new breed of mobile phones was a touch new, combining sleek looks with mind-bending (for its time, anyway) power. They became the ultimate multimedia mobile phones, and broadcast flocked to them in droves. Over time, Nokia expanded the range, count more features and cool stuff, until today, they are regarded as some of the best mobile phones in the world.
That view is unlikely to change with the release of two new Nokia Nseries mobile phones: the gorgeous Nokia N85, and the frankly awesome Nokia N96.
Videodrome – Nokia N96
Every Nokia Nseries mobile phone has had one killer gimmick, one thing it’s been known for. The N91 was the first with a built-in hard handbook. The N95 was the first Nokia mobile phone with a 5 megapixel camera. Well, the Nokia N96 has not one, but two killer gimmicks. Before we get to them, but, let’s take a quick look at the other features on this so-called king of mobile phones. Like its predecessor the N95, the Nokia N96 has a 5 megapixel camera, GPS and super-quick internet access. What it brings to the party, though, are two things that are new to Nokia mobile phones. First, the Nokia N96 has 16Gb of internal memory, a touch not seen on any of their previous mobile phones. Secondly is its huge focus: video. The Nokia N96 is, essentially, a portable cinema in your hand, and a mobile TV, in view of the fact that it comes complete with BBC iPlayer, making the Nokia N96 the first mobile phone in description that lets you stream AND download videos from iPlayer, honest out of the box.
Nokia N85 – a wolf in sheep’s clothing?
The Nokia N96 really is one of the most powerful mobile phones on the earth… but some say its small brother, the Nokia N85 is even better. To be honest, that thought has some merit, because there’s not a huge list of differences between the two mobile phones. The Nokia N85 doesn’t have DVB-H mobile TV or iPlayer, and the internal memory is down from 16Gb to 74Mb. But let’s analyse persons things. First off, the lack of DVB-H on the Nokia N96 is NOT a huge deal, in view of the fact that that ordinary isn’t supported in Europe yet. As for the lack of iPlayer, the version for mobile phones is freely downloadable (or will be soon), so it not coming preinstalled on the Nokia N85 is only a TINY hindrance. And whilst the N96 has a larger screen, the one on the Nokia N85 is far stuck-up, as it’s an OLED screen, making it brighter, more colourful, and all round better. Plus, it seems HIGHLY likely that the Nokia N85 will be the vastly cheaper of these two mobile phones, so by that logic, you can’t really lose if you go for the Nokia N85!
