 SCREEN DEFECT November 9, 2008
For the first year that I owned this phone, I thought it was a decent option for it's relatively cheap price. The talk quality was good, the bluetooth was nice, the camera actually took surprisingly decent pictures, and the battery life was okay.
Just past the 1 year mark, the screen started blinking for unknown reasons (I hadn't dropped it or damaged it in any other way when this started). Within a few days, the screen has become completely useless. It is now solid blue or white whenever I open the phone. LOOK THIS UP. It seems to be a COMMON PROBLEM with this model (see the support section of the Nokia website). I've only owned one of these phones, but I suspect this is a design flaw, based on other users' comments. Of course, the one year warranty has just passed.

For years I carried a Razor. Its main attraction is the different bands. Well this phone also has those bands; the 6085 operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900.
Now I just need a phone. Not some flimsy toy to hang off my belt but a phone. The main purpose of the phone was emergencies however it has become my main number. The only practical extra needed was Bluetooth as I did not want to be strangled by a wire.
The great advantage is the phone is in my pocket with keys and loose change. When I do want to use it just a few buttons take me directly to the hand full of numbers I use. I also do not look like a phone snob.
I made a deal with the provider not to have extraneous text messages. The other features are just rotting as they just came with the phone whether you used them or not.
This critter is inexpensive and if it should fall apart, which I seriously doubt, I can pick up another one as they are very inexpensive.
 It's a decent phone. But ... September 10, 2008

Overall, this phone is OK. The mini display is to dark to see because of the background color and the small font. I agree with other reviewers about the manual. This is the worst manual I've seen. Also I find nowhere in the manual which tell how to set up the Speakerphone feature. Anyone knows how to do this?

this phone might not be the best quality phone on the market, but it sure is admirably tough. i've gone through 2 of these phones (kind of contradicts what i just said...but just wait)... the first time i was jogging and it flipped out of my coat pocket and smashed against the concrete. the screen was broken sideways, so nothing was coming up...obviously. however, i could still dial numbers! (blindly of course)... but the day came when the front screen just popped off... so onto the new one.
this last one just won't die... i want it to so i can get a new one... but man, it sure is hanging on. at work one day i smashed the front against a wall on accident, so the front screen (when the phone is closed...that front) just shows cracks. the back lid won't stay on, i've had to tape it on forever now. this means that the battery is very vulnerable to popping off easily. this has all happened in the shower (hanging your arms out of the shower to text probably isn't the best idea) on two occasions. the battery was wet, and more importantly the inside of the phone got wet. well, after a brief drying off period, boom! it was back in the game. i've found that cell phones are convenient things to throw when you're upset, so my phone has dealt with plenty of this. it has gotten to the point however... where the screen won't come up when i open the phone. i've found however that if i keep flipping it open, after 20 or so flips the screen will pop up... yes this is a hassle. i don't shut my phone any more :-)
no this isn't the best quality phone... it's very basic. but after the beating this thing has taken, it deserves some credit. thrown, drenched, dropped... still finds that it can function. if you're a phone junkie and loves endless options... well this isn't the phone for you. if you're like me and use your phone for calls and texting only and you find that you're a phone abuser and like to make things last as long as possible... well, then this is a decent choice.
Nice but could be much better...... August 4, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have had the phone for about 2 weeks now and so far the phone is nice but could be better in some aspects. The manual is thick but very generic on how to use the phone. It simply explains what each item is rather then how to use each item clearly. The speaker is a bit finicky and somewhat low. Maybe I am looking in the wrong section but to hear the ring-tones to pick one out it is so low you need to hold it directly to your ear and that is with the volume all the way up. The loaded ring-tones are basically useless and outright stink. The voice dialing is useless and makes error over and over again. You can not.....and I repeat you CAN NOT create your own "Voice Dialing Tags"....it is automatic and can not be edited. For instance......If one name in your Address Book is "Timmy"....now we all know how to pronounce it I am sure......but the phone sees it as "Tim-eye" and it can not be edited......which I think is really stupid. So I don't use the function due to the uslessness of it.
Overall the phone is OK and it does what it is supposed to do but it could do it a little better in my opinion.
I would recommend this phone if you want just a basic phone, it gets you by....
