N96 front look-a-like

I noticed that the N96 has a twin but apparently only the face is similar. It seems that the similarity hasn’t been noticed by a numerous amount of people. The twin is called Nokia N85!

Lets welcome the N85.

Both of the twins have the same feel and look of the Navi-wheel. The home screen, answering and the rejecting call key are the same but on the N96, the rejecting key goes inside while the N85 rejecting key is only pressed.

Another thing worth mentioning is that the Nokia N96 top keypad is more spacious which of course means that it has more keys, and speaking about keys. it has dedicated music buttons around the Navi-wheel. In the East of the music keys, a silver button is present, it directs you to another type of menu but not the music player.

The menu key, the “c”and both side keys are lighted up during the use of the phone and not always visible. This status applies for both, the Nokia N96 and N85.

The N96 and the N85 have music keys if the user slides it down, the N85 also has zoom keys in the place of the fast forward and back wards.

The N96 is bulkier but worth it to have. I also say that statement for the N85 as they both have similarities but regarding the technical info then my money is on the N96.
