Nokia N85 - The perfect phone for me. What's yours??

[Welshwatchman]

I was given this phone a while ago as a free upgrade upon renewal of my £15 per month contract and I must say that I am continually impressed with it.

There are five things that make it damn near perfect for me :

1. Built in GPS.

I now have Garmin Sat Nav built in and it works every bit as well as my
previous stand alone Tom Tom, now sold on Ebay.

2. MP3 and Video.

16gb is plenty enough for all my MP3 books and albums as well as quite a few
series of Larry Sanders, Curb your enthusiasm and other personal favourites.
The 3.5mm phono socket allows me to use my Shure earphones and the sound is pretty damn decent. Not quite as good as my X-fi 8gb but enough to see that go on the Bay as well.

3. Ngage gaming.

I was given 10 free Ngage games and went for the golf/pool/fifa/puzzle types. Hardly PSP beating but pretty good nonetheless.

4. Wireless Lan.

I use Youtube Google Video and web based email regularly and this thing works
well at home, in work and at the coffee shop. It is not as impressive as my daughter's HTC Android or an Iphone with their screen scaling but they would fail me in other departments.

5. Decent Digital/Video Camera.

I remember when camera phones were rather pathetic in this respect. Whilst it is not as good as my Canon Ixus 860 the 5 mega pixels, a decent macro and stutter free medium res video are pretty damn nifty.

In recent months I have spent many an hour in hospital waiting rooms with our parents being unwell as well as a long period out of the country on a work errand and this one device has been a very useful tool for me, all in one fairly small package. The battery life is exceptional which may partly be down to the use of OLED screen technology.

It even works as a telephone.

Whilst it does other fancy things, voice activation/recognition, FM transmission etc I am only interested in the aforementioned top 5 functions.

Do you have a favourite phone and are your priorities the same as mine?
