Eldar's Nokia N79 & N85
Review
Available in English Now!
The past few days have been very productive for the folks over at Mobile Review! Yesterday, I wrote an article about the Eldar’s review of the Nokia N85 and Nokia N79 published on the Russian part of the site and it’s amazing to see that review is already completely translated and published in English earlier today! Thumbs up! Keep up the good work!
Anyway, his translators did a good job and it definitely worth checking out even if you are not interesting in these phones. Here is the short Eldar’s conclusion; the full review is available here:
СIt's hard to underestimate what has just happened today -Nokia has unleashed its key mid-tier products for 2009, which have all it takes to become the market's most popular and beloved offerings.
Furthermore, their competition still don't have the offerings that'd be able to fight back, meaning that Nokia will have at least a 4-5 month handicap that translates directly into lighter price tags and wider availability. This will give them just enough time and resources to prepare for the launch of a new line-up that will include some touch-based solutions.
In February Nokia will reveal around 7 new S60-powered phones, two of which will be the milestones for the entire industry for at least a year to come. But their sales charts will still be topped by such phones as the Nokia N79 and Nokia N85 that came together in one announcement solely because of their potential.
While Nokia's competition really need to make a leap forward in the mid-tier, some of them don't have the resources, whereas others are too obsessed with the higher end of the market. That's why for the time being Nokia has nothing to worry about, at least on this front.
