The N85 has been around for some time, but until now, everybody could only look at it only from behind a computer screen since it was not available for purchase. The good news for all you Nokia N-Series fans is that the N85 is finally on sale.

The device has already showed its sleek design on several eBay pages, so if you have a credit card, this is your chance to get one ASAP. We checked out the price tag for the N85 and it will sell for as low as 668 US dollars without a contract and unlocked, but this is only the first price, as it's very likely that when more stores get it, it will sell cheaper.

The N85 has all that it needs to be considered a worthy N-series device. The smartphone offers users a wide range of entertainment-related capabilities, including a 5MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics, Tessar lens, autofocus, dual LED flash, geotagging, 20X digital zoom and VGA video recording.

N85 features a 2.6-inch TFT display with 16.7 million colors, 320 x 240 pixels, brightness control and ambient light detector, accelerometer for automatic image rotation, a secondary camera for video calls, Wi-Fi, GPS, A-GPS, Nokia Maps, Adobe Flash Lite 3.0, Nokia Web browser, Adobe Reader, Nokia N-series music player (that supports MP3, AAC, eAAC, eAAC and WMA), 3D stereo speakers, dedicated music keys, a 3.5-mm headset jack, UPnP music streaming, FM radio with RDS, FM transmitter, N-gage gaming controls, digital stereo microphone, text-to-speech and Symbian 9.3 S60 3rd Edition (with Feature Pack 2).

Even if the phone has a small internal memory of just 74MB, an 8GB microSD card is included in the package – which should satisfy most users and provide enough storing space on the phone.
