Wait for the N85?
Ive decided that if im getting a phone right now, it will be the n82, however, i do tend to like sliders & gaming phones, so the n85 is perfect for me.

Should i wait for the n85? Also, anyone got a price point on it?

Would i be better off getting the N82 now, then getting an n85 in a couple months & sell my n82 for $400ish?

Im so torn.....help me!!!!!!!!!!!

Shawn

My vote is "wait for the N85".

I have a N82, and its great, but once you've seen and handled the N85 you'll KNOW which one to buy ...

I own a N82 and played with the n85 last night at the S60 night in NYC. WAIT for it. US 3G is the deal sealer for me. Though if you really want an N82 i could sell you mine for cheap to hold you over until the N85 came out. PM me.

I wasn't planning on getting a new phone before a couple of days, but now that the camera on my N95 8GB is broken, I am eagerly waiting for the N85 and I advice you to wait as well.

There's nothing really anything truly new about the N85. Sure it has a OLED screen or USB charging, but anything it can do, the N82 can.
When it comes to pictures the N85 is even a downgrade.
The real time to upgrade will be around Feb next year!!!

What's going on in February that makes that such a 'good time' to upgrade? Is it because of devices coming out now/end of 2008 or is something supposed to come out in February?
