The Nokia N85 cell phone is pre-loaded with at least 10 made-for-mobile N-Gage gaming titles that jump off of the screen thanks to the dazzling OLED display and a voucher to activate one full game license. Dedicated gaming keys light up when the device is in landscape gaming mode to further enhance the action-packed experience. "The Nokia N85 multimedia cell phone was created to be more than the sum of its parts, offering a complete mobile entertainment package designed for connecting, sharing and discovering," said Juha-Pekka Sipponen, Director, Nokia Nseries.

Nokia mobile phone memory
Every Nokia N85 phone comes with an 8 GB microSD flash memory card, up to 30 hours of music playback time and its high-fidelity sound means favorite tracks can be enjoyed virtually anywhere. Build a personal music collection from the millions of tracks and playlists available from the Nokia Music Store or other online music vendors, or synchronize PC and mobile music libraries via USB cable. Alternatively, consumers can enjoy RDS radio or a wide selection of stations via the internet. The 3.5 mm audio jack makes connecting a top-quality headset simple and an in-built FM transmitter lets the Nokia N85 music phone play wirelessly through a car or home stereo to really crank up the sound.

Nokia N85 price & availability
While it comes out of the box with a multitude of powerful functionality, the pre-loaded Nokia Download! application makes the Nokia N85 mobile phone truly customizable by offering a wide range of bespoke content. This includes an outstanding selection of world-class branded entertainment content, the latest in mobile gaming and dynamic applications so users can really make their device their own. The Nokia N85 phone is expected to begin shipping in October 2008 with an estimated retail price of EUR 450, before taxes and subsidies.

This is a pretty simple deal: buy a Nokia N85 from somewhere*, complete an order form, include your receipt and phone box barcode, and get a $50 Visa Prepaid card.

*Some fine print: the rebate form does not state that you have to purchase the N85 from NokiaUSA, although it does mention that refurbished models do not qualify for the $50 back. Another question is whether the N85 needs to be the NAM (North American) version of just any ‘ol N85 - I don’t know, since the rebate form doesn’t specifically mention the NAM version. Finally, your purchase has to be made from March 9 to April 30, 2009.

Either way, if you were looking to purchase an N85 in the near future, a purchase that I heartily recommend, at least get yourself $50 bucks out of it.

And a Nokia N85 Deal For the Initiated

The fun doesn’t end there! Adorama via Buy.com is selling the N85 for $349.99. Throw in some MSN Live.com Cashback (1% I believe in this case), and you’re looking at $296 after your $50 Prepaid Visa card. Beats the NokiaUSA.com price of $449. Not too shabby!
