Summary: Works for me
Comment: I don't like paying for cell phones and got this free from AT&T by renewing my 2 year contract. I care most about battery, call quality, and texting. This phone does what I need it to do.

The camera definitely produces grainy pictures, but I don't care about the camera.

Summary: Don't buy for hands free laws
Comment: Yoiu cannot dial hands free with this phone. Nokia will not allow you to enter your own voice tags for your contacts and the computer generated voice is impossible to mimic. If you are looking for true hands free phone usage, try another phone/brand!

Summary: Extremely Durable!!
Comment: I always buy Nokia phones because they are so durable. Two Nokia's I have had for my kids have gone through the WASHING MACHINE (one also went though the dryer). One was the Nokia 6085, the other was a bar phone a few years ago. I dropped my Nokia in a creek last year and it lived through it. How can you beat that? Especially for kids.

Summary: Good phone with two flaws
Comment: Head Note : very convenient for old people, people with big fingers and people who will NOT walk outdoor & talk. Bad for people who talk while walking in road or who work mostly outdoor.

Also Suitable for people with less sharp hearing & sight abilities.

Pros:
1)Very loud, very clear (though noisy in windy places and some times tinning voice )
2)Big keypad, Big, clear contrasty LCD screen layout (though phone numbers appear in two lines, which I felt i was typing a wrong number because it splits the numbers oddly between lines. I won't consider that as a Con / Flaw because most people save numbers in 'contacts list' now a days)
3)Excellent signal reception.

Cons :
You WILL get either or both of this problems with this Cell phone :

1) Strong hissing noise when sitting near fan/AC (almost none when no wind or moment around). This will be annoying if you are walking in street in wind.

Cause : ABSENSE OF NOISE CANCELLING in firmware in 6085

Solution : Keep her mouth so close to yours as if you are kissing her and block the wind OR talk from under the bed or inside the rest room :-)

Knowing this might really help you:
2) One fine morning, you will not hear what the other person saying. Nothing. Nay. Nada. You will see headset icon appearing in the screen.

Cause : Your 6085 Cellphone dreams and undergoes hallucination that she is screwed by a headset pin. Actually she is serene and untouched by headset pin, but little dust particle might have gone inside that confused her.

Solution : 1) Swtich off the phone and restart; if no success 2) remove Battery, insert again and restart; if no success 3) Remove battery, make a non-cruel, ahimsa, vegetarian attempt to clean off dust particles and again turn it on. if no success 4) Use headset as temporary solution :-) and send her to Gynecologist or tech. support.


3) Tinning, harsh voice ( occasionally, not a bummer or flaw)

( FN :
1) I wanted to give three stars, but i want to reduce existing average four star rating, so giving only two.
2) If your friend has this phone and if hissing noise from his/her side annoys you , you too can buy this one and revenge on your friend. Be ruthless and get the help of satan in this regard.
3) If you have dust on your 6085, don't put it in washing machine as Larissa Carlson said. If you do, there is a chance you might endup writing a one star review for this phone. Water wash is better for sox :-); air wash is better for cell phone. So try to blow the dust away
4) Voice 'quantity' is superb but not voice quality.

Summary: great call quality, good media player, poor camera.
Comment: I'm a repairman for AT&T and when my previous candybar nokia had a button that started to stick, I was allowed to choose a phone from all the free phones currently offered to the public. After looking at some reviews and comparing features I chose this 6085. Now this phone gets used and abused on a daily basis while I'm out on the job, but it's kept working well for the 6 months or so I've had it. The sound quality is excellent for both user and the called party, in fact I often have to turn the volume down a bit (unless it's really windy). The speaker phone works well, and it can be used with the phone closed (my old Samsung Sync couldn't do that). I liked the phone so much I bought a microSD card to try the media player and camera. The media player works pretty well, although I haven't tried it with bluetooth headset yet, but I listen to audiobooks through the speakerphone and they sound good. The camera takes only so-so pictures, in my opinion. The colors tend to be off a bit and not too clear, adequate for showing others on the phone,but not too good for email. Battery life has been exceptional, I use the phone a lot and it lasts several days between charges. I also own a Nokia N75 phone for my personal use, but for simply making and receiving calls and for a simple to use media player, I actually like the 6085 better! It's easy to customize ringtones for callers too, which is nice. I'd rate this a 5 if not for the sub-par camera. This is the kind of phone my parents (age 74) would love, because the buttons are large, distinct and separate, the display numbers are large, and the call volume is nice and loud. Sure the N75 has more gizmos, but this 6085 is a great phone that's really easy to use.

The clamshell Nokia 6085 weighs just 3 ounces and is a great companion for fast-paced globetrotters with its quad-band connectivity and EDGE data service.


The external blue display makes it easy to see who's calling as well as check the time and the phone's battery.
The 6085 operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 networks and can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's EDGE network (which stands for "Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution"), with availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. This third-generation, high-speed, mobile data and Internet access technology is fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services (with average data speeds between 75-135Kbps), including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go.

Featuring subtle, organic design lines, a clear keypad and an uncluttered menu structure, the elegant Nokia 6085 is further complemented by sophisticated detailing such as black soft touch paint and chrome accents. The internal 1.8-inch passive LCD has a 128 x 160-pixel resolution and 262K colors, while the external FSTN window offers a monochrome display and measures 96 x 68 pixels. The blue light display on the cover makes it convenient to see who is calling, check the time and signal/battery strength without the need to open the phone.

The digital audio player is compatible with a wide variety of formats (MP3, MP4, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA) as well as protected WMA files purchased from AT&T Music and streaming 3GPP video. The 6085 also includes the Bluetooth A2DP profile, so you can listen to your favorite tunes and the built-in FM radio over a pair of Bluetooth-enabled wireless headphones. The built-in camera captures VGA (640 x 480-pixel) still photos as well as video clips up to 15 seconds in length. It has a 4x digital zoom, and the phone includes in-camera editing features.

Pictures, videos and music can be stored and shared using the optional hot-swappable microSD memory card, which offers up to 2 GB storage (the phone, itself, offers only 4 MB of memory). The 6085 offers wireless connectivity via Bluetooth technology, making communication--such as synchronization between phone and PC, transferring images or usage of wireless enhancements--with other devices quickly and easily.

To enable staying in touch with family and friends, the 6085 offers comprehensive functions for easy messaging and voice communication, including MMS, Nokia Xpress audio messaging, enhanced email and instant messaging via AIM, Yahoo!, and MSN. There's also a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. AT&T's MEdia Net service lets you do more than just stream videos--it lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more.
