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.

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.
