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.

Vital Statistics
The Nokia 6085 weighs 3.69 ounces and measures 3.6 x 1.81 x 0.91 inches. Its 970 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5 hours of talk time, and up to 240 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.
Bought 3 days ago and the outer mini-screen has already failed. AT&T claims it’s due to physical damage and refuses to replace.
Although the phone and inner screen still work, I seriously question the longevity and durability of this phone.
Because of this, I would advise buyers not to buy this phone!
Rating: 1 / 5
I realize that this was a free phone, but for a 4 MP camera phone, the camera on this phone is crappy. And that’s putting it mildly (severely grainy texture).
The calculator on the phone is not user-friendly at all and the alarm is pitiful; you can’t even change the alarm tone volume!
If you value camera quality and ease of use, DON’T GET THIS PHONE! I got it for free as an upgrade and I *still* want my money back…

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.

My needs in a cell phone are simple … I just want to make and receive phone calls. Don’t care about camera, video, email, texting, or anything else. The thing that I find annoying with this camera is the display. If I am calling a number like 234-5678, the number does not show on one line of the display. Instead, the 2 will be on the upper line and 345678 will be on the lower line. I guess the engineers that designed it didn’t know what American phone numbers look like. I want my old Motorola back!

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!
