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!

This set first appeared in a supremely blurry video we posted back in May, and we’re more than a little thrilled to see it making a comeback. The pics do seem to suggest it could have — we say could as this thing may never arrive, or may in fact be what we at this time know as XPERIA X1 — a QWERTY keypad, and two portrait slide modes for camera and multimedia functions. Of course, we’d love to see something like this land in our hands, but we’ll get by with pictures until we get disappointed more info at some point in the future.
