Ewan finishes his look at Nokia's OLED-screened N85 by taking it online. He also sums up his impressions, concluding that "underneath these colours is a thoroughbred". He does concede that some of the software in the N85 is "old" but recognises that this also brings maturity and stability. There are plenty of positives in the N85's package, it seems.

"There are some issues – if you don't commit fully to the Ovi vision then you will miss out on some of the power of the device. While third party software can replicate many functions (Shozu and Google Maps would be obvious candidates for the rebels out there), I think that misses the point of where Nokia are going with their vision of a smartphone that has advanced hardware matched with software, both on the device and in the cloud.

Taken on its own, the N85 is a competent smartphone with good looks, that will happily handle your organiser details and media requirements. Hook it online and start using it as a two way communications device and you have a modern phone that is going to prove invaluable.
