4.0 out of 5 stars Great phone for a great price, July 22, 2007

If you're looking for a phone packed with every useful feature that a $300+ phone would cost... this is it. This phone has everything that I wanted in a phone: the best all around reception of any phone that I've tried (quad band), a decent camera, excellent hands free (people can't even tell that I'm using it), expandable memory, MP3 ring tones, MP3 playback and it's relatively quick charging.

In my opinion, the only negative part of this phone is its size. It's bulky, due to its thickness and overall girth. This is why I gave it a four out of five.

This is an excellent phone for much less than others with equivalent features.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nokia 6085, A good-looking phone with high quality entertainment features, July 10, 2007

The Nokia 6085 is not only a relatively low cost flip phone with stereo Bluetooth, but also a lightweight compact music device with a built-in MP3 player, expandable memory and an FM radio.

Nokia 6085 is a good-looking phone with high quality entertainment features for the user to enjoy, because you get almost all the features that are usually embedded in today's phones, at a reasonable price.

However, Nokia 6085 features a low-end VGA camera with a maximum resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. More features of the camera include self-timer and image sequence.

Despite its low price, the 6085 includes few nice multimedia features, the best of all being Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP). The MMS message (Multimedia Messaging Service) can include photo or video with text & music or sound to complete the finishing effect.

Other features of the 6085 include: voice recording, voice commands, plus hands-free speaker; Macromedia Flash Player 2.

The quoted battery life is five hours talk time and 240 hours standby time, which held up pretty close to claims, though as usual, the use of the multimedia features will drain the phone quite quickly.

The 6085 is a very affordable phone that got most of the features that users would want from a phone today.

Overall, it is a good camera phone for anyone who's shopping on a budget. Weighing just 84 grams, the Nokia 6085 is very easy to carry around in a pocket or a bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reception - Fantastic phone, March 9, 2009

This review is from: Nokia 6085 Unlocked Cell Phone with MP3/Video Player, MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Blue) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

The first feature a phone needs to have is strong reception. I own one of these phones from ATT and was so impressed got another one for my Dad in another country (Quad band phone helps here). I tried a Tmobile Sim card on the unlocked phone. With this phone, I could now get reception everywhere inside my house. Tried the same sim card on a Razr, a Sony-Ericsson, and a Samsung - and can get reception only near the windows. This point alone has me thrilled. I am impressed enough with its reception that I felt the need to write a review to correct the nonsense out there.

Other pros -
Very sturdy build (just like other Nokia phones).
Camera is VGA but takes surprisingly usable pics with good color but plenty of grain if the light is low.
Quad band phone - works worldwide.
Built in speaker is good quality - works well as a speaker phone or for playing music.
Interface is totally customisable (big plus for me). I can now access bluetooth menu via one keypress.
Small in size. Flip design means screen and keys are protected by default.
I put a 2 gig card in there - plenty of storage for all the videos, voice, and pics - and the phone can be told to use this memory by default (very convenient).
Bluetooth works well with no issues using multiple bluetooth headsets from motorola and jabra.
Voice recording works well.
Bluetooth works smoothly - if you have a stereo bluetooth headset - this phone can be your MP3 player. Complete with customisable and preset equalizers.
Light and small.
Keys are large - easy to see - with solid tactile feedback.
Loud ringer - very convenient.
Good voice quality - both for the person listening to you and at your end.

Cons -
Does not have a standard mini-usb jack for data. Charging also uses a custom jack. This is the ONLY thing I hate about this phone.
Doesn't "look" as good - but - what good are "looks" if the reception sucks (like my samsung)?
Video is a jerky and pretty low rez - but you can shoot for as long as you want with the memory card.
I only get 3 - 4 days standby with both my phones with some usage thrown in.
Radio needs use of a stereo headset (my mono nokia headset did not seem to cut it - not that I have use for a radio).
Screen was marginally better on the Samsung - but it rated a zero for poor reception.
No headphone jack - so I can't use my existing earphones for listening to music.

If you have reception issues - this is a phone to consider. It has all the features you will normally use in a small sturdy flip phone. Plus - everything works - and works well.
