We were continuously curious why a device that (at least on paper) was superior in a lot of ways to Nokia’s N96 wasn’t trumpeted as the outfit’s flagship device, but nevertheless, an Italian reviewer has made us feel a touch better about our previously ludicrous thoughts. After spending a solid fortnight with the phone, the critic felt comfortable deeming the N85 a “very, very beautiful” handset, also noting that it was “definitely the bes. Symbian [device]” out there. He even went out of his way to recommend the N85 over the N96 so long as you’re cool without DVB-H or a super-snazzy camera. As if you really needed more, he also found the OLED display to be spectacular, the audio quality very satisfactory and the GPS / multimedia functions to be top-notch. Wait, is that the N96 we hear crying? There’s no crying in Espoo!

The Foundations said it bes. in their 1968 classic, but seriously, why let us down like this? Nokia didn’t mind busting out a litany of press shots and all the specifications one could need to get amped up about the 5800 XpressMusic, but it obviously has something holding it back from launching in “mature markets” before 2009. In an announcement that’s just as disappointing to the suits in Espoo as it is to those in North America and Down Under (just to name a couple), we’ve at this time learned that the touchscreen-dominated handset will only be available in seven countries in Asia, the Middle East and europ. before 2009 dawns. Even worse? Not knowing how deep into next year we’ll have to wait for this thing in this place in the US of A. Catch our feelings spelled out in video form after the break.
