Boasting a full range of multimedia capabilities and new mobile service offers, Nokia will soon release a new N series smartphone.

Nokia today unveiled the N85 two-way slider, the latest Nokia Nseries multimedia smartphone. Along with a 2.6" OLED screen, the phone boasts N-Gage gaming, music with built-in FM transmitter, 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and geotagging capabilities. Additionally, the phone comes with a three month integrated license for turn-by-turn voice navigation and high-speed connectivity.

A 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash captures VGA-quality videos at 30 frames per second. Combined with A-GPS it is possible to geotag favorite pictures to see where each photo was taken using the Nokia Maps application or online sites such as Share on Ovi or Flickr. The phone also offers a full range of standard scene modes, including Portrait, Landscape, Close-up, Sport and Night. It also offers a red-eye reduction flash mode and a flash range of up to 3 meters. However, the camera lens found in the phone does not match the focal length of Sony Ericsson's upcoming Cyber-shot camera phone.

The comes with an 8GB microSD card, and a 3.5mm audio jack makes enables users to connect their favorite headset without the requirement of a converter. The phone also supports the Nokia Music Store and other online music vendors, and music libraries can be synchronized via an USB cable. A built-in FM transmitter also lets users play wirelessly through a car or home stereo.

The phone is pre-loaded with ten N-Gage gaming title demos and a voucher to activate one full game license. Dedicated gaming keys light up when the device is in landscape gaming mode.

Gaming, photos, navigation and music blend together with the newest Ovi and third party services via 3.5G HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity. A pre-loaded Nokia Download! application lets users download third party entertainment content, the latest in mobile gaming as well as dynamic applications (widgets).

The phone offers a claimed talk time of 4.5 hours, measures 4.1 by 2 by 0.63 inches and weighs in at 4.53 ounces. Powered by Symbian S60, the phone will also offer a Nokia Mini Map browser, DLNA support, Bluetooth 2.0 support with an extensive list of Bluetooth profiles, and a TV out port (a video cable is bundled in the sales package).

The phone is expected to begin shipping in Europe in October 2008 for 450 euro, while it's expected to appear in U.S. stores shelves in November 2008 for approximately $650.
