The New Year Choice: N82 or N85


First of all my apologies for been away for a long time,it is almost 3weeks since I stopped writting here continuously.The last few weeks of the year was a real rush to catch up with,the hardest and busiest for me as it was throughout the year.2008 was a year that made so many changes in my life,speaking on me and my S60 experience.Briefly,

1.I graduated from Uni after completing my BSc in Science.

2.Got Engaged.

3.Saved two squirrel babies and raised them till they are ready to go back.

3.Won the N95 8GB from Nokia Fimmaking Awards.

4.Moved the blog from Symbian-life.blogspot to Symbian-LifeBlog.com.

5.Won the N78 from SymbiaNational Geographic Contest.

6.Got Married.

7.Got an offer from Australia to do my MSc.

8.Visa Granted.

That’s how things happened around me,and put me into a tight schedule,busy as never before.OK those things happened last year now it’s 2009 an goodbye 2008,my lucky year.

So in the very beginning of this new year I’m prompted to make a choice on the devices I use(me and my wife).It’s about the 5700Xpress Music that my wife Samudrika is using,the time has come to replace it with a much newer model,my main concerns are on,

1.GPS

2.A fast responding Camera.

3.Steady and a reliable device.

4.Should look pretty.

Right now I have N82 and N85 in my mind,N82 I have used but,the N85, have never even seen one in real.I love the N82′s features ,it was a real Story Telling Rediscovery when I trialed one few months back and I have no complaints on it.But the N85 is also good,which is indeed prettier and packed, only lacking the Xenon when compared to the N82,but recent trial reports from my fellow bloggers about the wobble in the slider mechanism is pulling my leg.Wobbly slider issue was killing me for a long time now since I was using my N80 and Now the N95 8GB.

So I’m stuck in-between two choices that I have to make by the end of this day.Does anybody have suggestions or opinions before I purchase one?
