Storm is an unlocked world phone which can be a cell modem. ]]>Nov 30th 2008 9:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/and this one for example has top end camera and gaming (for a phone) quality
but their prices are just so unjustified, they really need to get some of these N series phones to carrier discounts
I know like dealers in like chinatown do it already, but if they want to get a big marketshare in the US they need official carrier backing]]>Nov 30th 2008 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/Nov 30th 2008 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/
Its a good deal if you don't live in the States, and yes, people, make money and buy gadgets outside of that country too. It is a fair bit cheaper than current-gen HTCs that go for closer to $700-800.]]>Dec 1st 2008 2:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/And have your pants at your ankles from the weight of those gadgets? The point here is to have one device that does all... including a camera that can rival some of the name brand dedicated point-and-shoot cameras. And, here state-side, the HTC Touch isn't old enough to be "older". The other thing is, personally, WM sucks ass. Been there, done it... never again.

@ Flashpoint:
The N85 can do all of those things.

Expensive, yes. But, you are forgetting this is a unlocked, unsubsidized phone. You may think the iphone is a great deal, but the most basic plan is $70 a month! Either way, you're paying through the nose.

A G1, for example, is $400 without a contract/extension, but it's only $179 with a new two year agreement.

Over the course of your contract, you'll more than pay for the list price ($400) of that phone.]]>Nov 30th 2008 8:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/Nov 30th 2008 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/Nov 30th 2008 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/Nov 30th 2008 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/

That said, 556 isn't that bad considering my iPhone cost me 200 with a contract, and then hundreds more dollars in exorbitant data plans I don't need. Then again...what good is a 556 dollar phone if you don't have a decent data plan to go with it?]]>Nov 30th 2008 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/30/nokia-n85-pops-up-at-amazon-for-556-unlocked/

Thought i understand that when people see price like 600 price tag on Nokia they i think it's overpriced coming from nation with total carrier control. But the fact is that these phones are free with carrier support in most parts of the world and they sell.

Either people here STILL don't understand what unlocked and locked is or people don't wan't say it here in the world of Apple. Thought if Nokia would be selling only onlocked price in Europe and Asia, they wouldn't probally be doing much better in smart phone market than they are in USA.

I don't know why you're all whining about the price. It's an AMAZING price for a phone that bests the N95 and N96. The N95 was priced even higher than this when it came out, around $800. The N96 also costs around that, yet this phone is a better phone than the N96. This is a steal, IMO.
