The Nokia 6085 Phone
For starters, the 6085 is a mid-tier quad-band clamshell phone. It’s got the typical bells and whistles for a mid-tier phone - Bluetooth, camera, expandable microSD memory, FM radio and music player. However, Nokia has NOT released the specs on the camera - which makes me figure that it probably isn’t that impressive.
There’s a fairly simple external display on the phone, and the main screen supports up to 262k colors. Note that the external display is one single color: blue.
The 6085 seems very similar to all the clamshell phones that Samsung made famous: semi-budget phones that have some decent features, but no real OOMPH feature that stands out from the crowd. I guess that’s why it’s priced as it is: 175 Euros ($222 USD) before tax/subsidies. I’m sure we’ll start seeing this Nokia phone around as the free mobiles that are given out with 2 year contracts.
Meanwhile, I’m still wondering why Nokia hasn’t released any thin sized phones to combat the RAZR. Given what a piece of garbage the RAZR is, a Nokia branded phone even with these features would be a force to consider. And I think it would be quite sad if Apple beat out Nokia to the punch by releasing a thin Smartphone.
The Nokia 6085 will be available in several colors: royal pink, seagull silver, black, and baller gold.
