I would really like to come out to the US in the next month, but it takes a while for n series phones to get to the US. It seems to be a great phone and I am trying to decide between this and the e72, but this is probably going to take my money. If AT&t came out with a varient, it would also be great too…

No, Nokia is the top selling smartphone manufacturer in the world. They have a 40% marketshare, and it will grow this year. Only reason it fell from the 70% of a couple years ago is they didn’t release any major devices to replace its flagship Nseries and Eseries models in two years. They waited for the economy to recover a little, maintained the marketshare, and are now ready to take it back up a notch.

They are the number 5 most recognized brand in the world, and the only reason we Americans don’t know how good their devices are is because we let carriers tell us which devices to buy, and Nokia has an agreement with the carriers to not market devices that compete with their branded sets. Its conspiratory and protectionist, and it’s kept us from getting the best stuff.

Point blank? No one makes a better performing cameraphone. No one makes a better navigating phone. No one makes a more capable web browsing phone (default browsers have built in Flash support for web videos without special iApps…). No one has better loudspeaker quality. No one has a better video capture quality. No one makes a better mobile blogging phone. No one has a better video conferencing phone. And NO ONE multitasks better. NO ONE.

Now rebut that, but research first. I have plenty RIM, WinMo, and Symbian devices, and have tested and reviewed the iPhone as well. I’m not just talking out of my ass. I spend big bread on phones.

@ eric,
Nokia HAS been relevant in America to the non-sheeplike technophiles that prefer the best. Its not our fault the carriers are afraid of Nokia smartphones. They can’t charge for navigation, ringtones, apps, and tethering because its all built in.
By the way, Apple, Android, and WinMo combined don’t have Nokia/Symbian’s smartphone marketshare. Innovation isn’t an American monopoly. Only the uninformed don’t know Nokia smartphones are the best selling, most capable, do all devices in the world. No device has a feature or capability a Nokia lacks, and Nokias do. Ask the carriers, who are interested in making money, not supplying the best products.
You can’t buy a Peugot in America. Are they not good cars? No one buys iPhones outside the US, because at its price, you can get a top of the line Nokia or Samsung Symbian set.

I couldn’t read this post without yawning. When was the last time Nokia has even been relevant in the US? 2003, hen Nokia was the only one pushing out GSM flips? I know S60 is powerful, handles multitasking, and has thousands of apps, but its just so damn boring. It’s so boring, they’re giving away free 5800’s just to bribe developers from iPhone. Pathetic. I can appreciate the nokia loyalty, but honestly does it make sense for nokia to keep pushing out these unlocked NAM versions instead of giving a true earnest effort to get some carrier pickup? I’ll take my smartphones with WinPho or Android where the OS can be put onto hardware from lots of vendors and pushes a lot of innovation.

@ Len:

I hope you noted my sarcasm in my previous post

Anyway, this looks pretty nice, but not sure if I would shell out too much for it.

@AgBand

I guess I can resume the “negative” comments then. Thanks tips

I think they are retarded..

@ Len:
That comment about the iPhone was not necessary. In case you haven’t heard it is a high-tech tool that will begin allowing users to share pictures and other media via, what do they call it?, oh yes, MMS.

And it even records video! When other phones can do these things, then you can resume the negative comments…

@Patrick

They really are retarded and I don’t think they have jobs/school/responsibilities, which begs the question, why do they need a blackberry or any phone that has more than the standard 12 buttons??

ithink im gonna get this as an upgrade to my N95 8GB….hopefully the internal memory in the N85 isn’t as slow as the onw in the N95 8GB

This is the device the N96 should’ve been! A little late now, but nice. Too bad I’m moving on to 5th Edition. I bet Nokia does the N97 like the N95-1, and releases one with more memory and a larger screen, maybe even better battery and camera. I can only hope. The N86 proves they have the technology.
