![]() The clamshell Nokia 6085 has an external blue display that makes it easy to see who's calling as well as check the time and the phone's battery. |
Featuring subtle, organic design lines, a clear keypad and an uncluttered menu structure, the elegant Nokia 6085 is further complemented by sophisticated detailing such as black soft touch paint and chrome accents. The internal 1.8-inch passive LCD has a 128 x 160-pixel resolution and 262K colors, while the external FSTN window offers a monochrome display and measures 96 x 68 pixels. The blue light display on the cover makes it convenient to see who is calling, check the time and signal/battery strength without the need to open the phone.
The digital audio player is compatible with a wide variety of formats (MP3, MP4, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA) as well as protected WMA files purchased from AT&T Music and streaming 3GPP video. The 6085 also includes the Bluetooth A2DP profile, so you can listen to your favorite tunes and the built-in FM radio over a pair of Bluetooth-enabled wireless headphones. The built-in camera captures VGA (640 x 480-pixel) still photos as well as video clips up to 15 seconds in length. It has a 4x digital zoom, and the phone includes in-camera editing features.
Pictures, videos and music can be stored and shared using the optional hot-swappable microSD memory card, which offers up to 2 GB storage (the phone, itself, offers only 4 MB of memory). The 6085 offers wireless connectivity via Bluetooth technology, making communication--such as synchronization between phone and PC, transferring images or usage of wireless enhancements--with other devices quickly and easily.
To enable staying in touch with family and friends, the 6085 offers comprehensive functions for easy messaging and voice communication, including MMS, Nokia Xpress audio messaging, enhanced email and instant messaging via AIM, Yahoo!, and MSN. There's also a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. AT&T's MEdia Net service lets you do more than just stream videos--it lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. The T9 predictive text entry technology is built into the unit, which makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

Nokia 6085 Pink Phone (AT&T)

Reviewer: Amazon Shopper "net_buyer" (Los Angeles,CA,USA) -
This phone looks pretty but the screen is actually small. The graphic display is pixellated and menus are too cluttered. But this phone is sturdy and thats the main reason we bought it. AT&T coverage in our area is good. We dont travel long distance often so not sure how it works outside los angeles.
overall we are OK with this phone.
Worth it simply because of the price

Got $125 rebate for this free phone for my wife.
Nokia is garbage. They need to send their engineers to UI design school, or give them a couple of 4 year old Samsung or other phones to play with.
Their main markets are 3rd world; where people buy based on the fact that other have the phone and service/parts are an issue.
Call quality is decent, reliability is ok, robustness is ok. But the UI and usability is just plain atrocious. Almost like they want to frustrate you to use their phone. Features like check where the pics I just took, or mute the phone etc.. are just not intuitive.
