Advantages: Good Feature set

Disadvantages: Not so great build quality

I've owned a N85 for about 6 months now and although i was initially very impressed with it's feature set my opinion has dipped slightly after extended use. The feature set is excellent and just what you'd expect from a high end Nokia phone. The features I use and like the most are the 5MP camera, the GPS via Nokia maps and the ability to download tv programs from iplayer via a wireless connection to watch later. What i was a little disappointed with was the build quality. The slide function is very 'rattlely' and the phone vibrates terribly (commonly quoted on user forums) and the ear piece speaker is very crackly and sometimes cuts in and out (again well documented on user forums) When i initially got the phone it suffered from constantly restarting itself however a software updates has eased this somewhat although it can be very frustrating. Overall the phone is reasonable quality but not as reliable as i'd like and given the chance again i would probably go for a different model

Summary: Good features but reliability can sometimes be frustrating
