waiting for OMAP3
There is no point buying the N85 or anything less than an N95 (OMAP2) as they are old hat, and lack any hardware accelerated 3D graphics capabilities. Roll on 2009 and roll out OMAP 3 Nokia before you loose another customer!

video?
What's the video like? As good as the N95? Camera and video are my two major considerations for this upgrade...

Motor cars have all begun to look alike as we approach the ultimate airodynamic and weight design. Also engines for thos carsbecome more and more similar as we come to the most economic and efficient design.
I see how many people think this N85 is a con by Nokia because it is so similar to the old N95 in functionality but I really think we are coming close to the ultimate in mobile phones. From here on out we will only see improvemants in things like camera specs, connection speeds, battery technology and memory capacity. Soon you'll buy your phone purely for the form factor and colour because they'll all have all the goodies.

I think a funny thing is happening. All the forum posters are going to be so-so about this phone. But that's because all the forum posters already own a good Nokia smartphone.
I have never owned a symbian phone and have been looking forward to buying one for years. But I want my phone to be perfect. Last time, I opted to get the 6500s over the N81 because of the relative value (3.2m AF camera and metal body v. Symbian with 3.5 mm audio jack) and over the N95 because of two key problems with that phone (price, battery life). Now I get an N95-like device, which supports USB charging, has better battery life, much better sound (according to the mobile-review.com preview, the N85 sound = N81 sound), and more sturdy. I cannot wait for this to come out.
BTW, USB charging really really rocks. I had this feature when I had a Motorola phone. Basically, your phone will always be charged while at work. Once you start using USB Charging, you will see how helpful a feature that is.

Top secret Info! You heard it here first. 
N85 is a single OMAP TI CPU
CPU Type: ARM 11
CPU Clock Rate: 369 MHz
The same as the one used in the n78, n81 etc.
The n96 CPU is significantly slower in 3D as tested with jbenchmark. The n96 also lags behind in other tasks according to jbenchmark. However the Nomadics STn8815 chip by STMicroelectronics has much better power optimisation. 950mah won't effect the overall experience.

to answer my own question about the chipset
It seems the N85 has the regular old OMAP chipset (with better performance then the Nomadik chipset): http://www.smape.com/en/reviews/noki..._N96-comp.html

A agree it's better to top up reguarly to full than draining the battery low, then fully charging. Nice research and articles done at www.batteryuniversity.com
However I think topping up the battery not fully is not a good thing e.g. charging from 70% to 80%. This will waste many cycles...
It really doesn't matter... Batteries will be cheap enough to replace after a year or two cycles. Phone batteries life span is very good compared to laptops.

I think that you're mistaken. Modern battery technologies last much longer if kept charged, rather than let to drop to very low levels. I have kept my winmo phones connected permanently to USB whenever I'm near a computer and the batteries have still been in top condition 2 years later, lasting longer than my N95 battery did from the start

Does the N85 have media keys around the D-pad like on the N81 and N96?

a 'real upgrade'
@ rafe.
I am not contesting the fact that this is a fantastic phone but of course it offers me little to sell off my n 82 for a pittance and invest in it.
A real upgrade probably can be n 96 for me. I will ruffle a lot of feathers here of knowledgable minds but seriously, n 96 apart from having host of features also holds an aspirational value which n 85 doesn't.
A second real upgrade for me would have been a ruggedized phone. I have said this on symbian guru also. Charge me 400 but give me my n 82 in a ruggedized version. Something in the lines of casio boulder. Which enables me to carry it any where, shoot and click any where in any season and enhances its life by atleast 2 years of dirty use.
I will throw my money on it because i see a value here for me. As far as, n 96 is concerned, its actually an upgrade for me in my professional life if it enables me to buy that phone without compromising on any of my spend of any month.

Chipset?
Do you have any more information on the chipset? Is it the ST8816 that is also found in the N96? And is that really less powerfull then the OMAP 2420?
