Ronnie11 · 21-10-2008, 05:44 PM

oh ok i just founf out through various sites that n85 has indeed been released but not at the rate mentioned here...
Tech2site source-The Nokia N85 has started shipping and will be retailed at an MRP of Rs. 27,299
2-3 more sites have said the same thing...

damn..if it was priced around 22k i would have surely bought it...guess will have to buy the n82 now...

That will be MRP. There is always a difference of Rs.2k-3k between MRP & street price

You will get it a little expensive from a Nokia Priority shop.
Buy from any shop other than Nokia Priority to get a cheaper price.

Ronnie11 · 22-10-2008, 12:43 PM

no i meant is if nokia priority dealer hasn't started selling it,would alfa get it before them?

krazzy · 22-10-2008, 01:22 PM

Nokia's priority dealers only sell phones which are officially launched by Nokia in India. Also they only get it in stock after the official launch day. Shops like Alfa on the other hand sell phones which are not available officially here (like the old N-Gage or 6120 Classic, etc.) and many times they have it in stock even before the official release. Obviously these are then sold without bill and warranty.

And yes, Nokia's Priority shops officially rapes you when it comes to the cost of the phone. Sometimes it is 2k more than the price at Alfa.

LegendKiller · 22-10-2008, 01:22 PM

i don't think n85 is that cheap at 23k......thats probably the price of n79....

23k is probably the price of n79? :O
what are you talking about man?

dreamcatcher · 22-10-2008, 09:41 PM

Dnt you think its unnecessary to actually create a thread owing to the avibility of a phone.Make a single thread and post all the availibility infos there.Also theres a price section for the prices.

ahh ok thanks man...yeah i do agree about the priority dealer part...doesn't make sense to pay 2-3k more in priority than alfa...

Don't be so jealous

I know SE takes ages to release their phones so you don't get a chance to create similar threads for SE more often

If only the Nokia 5800 had not been announced for release in November.... I would have already got one of these 2 phones in my pocket by now

Ronnie11 · 23-10-2008, 12:03 PM

Surprisingly not many reviews are out yet...

yogi7272 · 23-10-2008, 12:30 PM

reviews of n85 , n79 and 5800 are out for a long time .. only u need to know where ..

http://www.mobile-review.com/review/...85-en.shtml#17

http://www.smape.com/en/reviews/noki...a_N85-rev.html

as far as 5800 goes .. if it would have 5mp cam i would have got it .. after using k750i > k790i > n73me > n82 > n95 8gb , i am used to good camera phones .. i will wait for nseries touch device ..which is expected in a 2-3 months ..

i personally liked the look of n81 .. hence for me n85 looks are good too .. lets see when i can get rid of my n95 8gb ..

Ronnie11 · 23-10-2008, 12:57 PM

mobile-review and smape are much better than gsmarena. GSMArena provides reviews on functionality of the OS and the looks but it provides no insight on the hardware of the phone and what is the advantage of that particular hardware platform which mobile-review and Smape does. Mobile-review and Smape get the phones real fast and give reviews pretty quickly. GSMArena takes a long time in procuring the phones.

@yogi7272 Check ur PM. I just PM'ed you.
