We are still concentrating on the N78 and N96 as upcoming Nseries devices in the near future, when there are already very interesting news over at the Mobile-Review forums which make us already face the next generation of Nokia’s multimedia line.

Eldar, the administrator of Mobile-Review, is obviously one of the best informed persons in the mobile scene and has posted some very interesting facts about the phones coming after the N78 and N96.

He talks about a Nokia N85 that will have a display with WQVGA resolution what means about 432240 pixels. The display seems to have a widescreen format regarding the display’s resolution which is developed to provide a great video playback experience.

Eldar says that he likes the N85 much better than the N96. Also the price shall be lower than the one of the officially announced flagship. He didn’t talk about which phone the N85 shall replace, only that it won’t be the N82.
Furthermore he talks about a massively improved UI with more animations which delivers a fresh look for the “classic” S60 user interface.

Also he said something about Nokia’s S60 Touch line. He doesn’t like “Tube”, the first S60 Touch device, and confirms that the first high-end touch phone will come after Tube’s release.
He also gives a hint that newer phone will have the rumoured Kastor UI which looks absolutely amazing:

I think we can trust Eldar as he is a very well informed and reliable source. So everybody who thought about buying Tube or the N96 should think twice about it. The S60 phones after the ones which will be released in the near future seem to be much more promising.

I am looking forward to getting more information about possible new phones, very interesting indeed!
